It's a photo taken 12 years ago, and you say a lot of things have changed since then. It's a great view from this mountain too.

Not really; I said a lot had changed since 1981 (in the notes - you might easily have missed it) when I first climbed here (it's a long story!). Actually I have posted one photo from here from 1981 featurering my old French climbing friend - and old school exchange friend before that. I'll try and find it for you, Jenny!)
It has a certain hazy effect which may have been heat haze or photographic incompetance, either way I like it!
Thank you, Jenny!

I looks a tough climb.

Not really, but tough if you're not fit I suppose. But then go at at your own pace and it's doable in about an hour.

La fotografía de paisaje está muy bien enmarcada, con esa pared de granito a la izquierda y el pueblo al fondo y abajo. Así al natural aumenta la sensación de altura y profundidad. La N-1 la he recorrido muchas veces, para ir solo hasta Madrid o Andalucía, desde Bilbao, pasando por Somosierra, cuando no estaban los coches climatizados, viajaba de noche.

Makes sense. I first went this way in a 1970 Renault 4L in 1981 with very little brakes. Fun, but dangerous and the road was the Old Burgos Road and it took about 5 hours to get to Burgos! (No motorway then!)
Thank you, José Manuel!

I have to return to Cornwall soon, Peggy but I intend to get up there again before I do! And I want to say hello to my Griffon vulture family. I've missed them these past 5 years or so!

I hope you make it up there, Andy!! Looking at the spread of the town I think it must be a nice place to live if so many more people wanted to shift there.

Superbe vue!

Superbe vue étendue !
