Path between Algete and Fuente del Saz de Jarama

I took a few late summer shots from this path earlier this year and the aridity contrasts markedly with this spring shot.
On the horizon is the Sierra de Guadarrama, also known as the Montañas de Madrid.
Better perhaps on large (especially to view the poppy fields)..

The cloudy perspective is enough to make this moor - and its perspective - interesting. As does your photo, Andy, which, indeed, reflects no aridity but rather a lovely lushness!
(I still have the Mendelssohn piece from your penultimate photo in my ears and, really, I wish I had known it earlier - in any case this interpretation!).

Andy Rodker replied to Eric Desjours:

Thank ypu, Eric. It's not actually a moor but quite intensive farmland. At least it has become so. in 2016, it had been somewhat neglected and the poppies had a field day!
I've always loved the Mendelssohn Octet and am so familiar with it that every different recording I hear seems utterly different to others I've heard as I'm noticing all the subtle changes and interpretations!

Well composed with lovely light and a dramatic sky. Definitely should be viewed large, the poppy fields do indeed look beautiful.

Nice one Andy!

What a superb photo, Andy and I can fully understand why you have chosen this area to live. I would love to see poppy fields like this - we don't seem to have them in the UK do we?
