Stunning view.l

Many thanks, Don!

Breathtaking landscape, Andy!

Thank you, Angelika. My favourite walking country, but for many reasons I've not been there for two years. :o(

Admirable et bien rendue..L'abondance du granit est remarquable.
Bon week-end salutaire.

Many thanks, Malik!

great landscape

Thank you, Leo!

What a superb view - did you rock hop all over there once? Do you think you may re-visit it when you are better? It's so lovely looking down onto that river, it's such a vivid blue against the other colours of the landscape

Thank you Jenny!
Probably nearly 50% of all my photos posted here and on Panoramio are from this sierra! At one time, exactly 10 years ago I was walking along here twice a week and I was fit! I hope to get back there some time but who knows? I had a car in those days and public transport isn't easy even though it's only 20 miles away. It means going in the opposite direction to Madrid and then out again and it's expensive to do that as well as time consuming as the journey length on the buses is more like 50 miles and three hours at least each way. no time left for a walk in winter light and precious little for a decent walk even in summer. When I lived in the middle of Madrid it would be 1.5 hours on the bus each way but working at weekends and more recently, health and Covid restrictions have stopped me.
By the way, it's a reservoir you can see there!

Gran paisaje de la sierra, con esas enormes piedras. Cuando bajo a Madrid en coche paso por ahí, así que conozco algunos sitios. El pantano supongo que pertenece al río Lozoya.

Thank you, José Manuel. The 'pantano' is the Embalse de Atazar in the middle of what was then a serious drought, so it was less than half full.

An excellent impression of depth.

Many thanks, John.
Sadly, Madrid pollution comes out this far and it's very rare to get a pristine long-distance shot. I read a book where an old-timer explained that it used to possible to see the buildings in Madrid with great clarity. Now, you would be lucky to locate the city at all! I attach here a vulture shot taken on a day when you clould see vast distances but these are great rarities. I've yet to see a clear view of the city from here.
