Hiking down the Rambla de Durcal on the western side of the Spain's Sierra Nevada range.

A few photos from yesterday's very tough and tiring but ultimately exciting and enjoyable romp around Las Buitreras del Durcal. Amazing, spectacular scenery and just 20 minutes drive from home. N.B Th...

Klyuchevskaya Sopka 4835m and Kamen 4575m from the near the col just SW of Vulkan Sredniy 2978m. I had just made my way across the plateau from our base camp between the two mountains. It's a white an...

It's raining outside so I'm sat by the fireside recalling past images. Here's a blast from the past. Mt Fitzroy (Chalten) surrounded by huge lenticular clouds. Taken from the NE from the dirt track le...

Gabi Fava admiring the magnificent Mt Fitzroy (Chalten) from our campsite alongside the Glacier Sur de Gorra Blanca, on our approach to the Patagonian Icecap

Yesterday we hiked the Ruta Gollizno at Moclin. A beautiful descent into a dramatic gorge with rope bridges and a heavily vegetated (cool!) river valley, followed by a tough ascent in the afternoon he...

Morning everybody, it maybe but here is a waterfall that I encountered two days ago. It's the Tajo Cortes with the Rio Bermejo waters flowing down. A spectacular setting on the edge of Spain's Sierra...

Yesterday's saunter with a group of aspirant writers linking up the GR240 and the Rio Bermejo. Lovely day, beautiful weather and perfect temperatures for hiking.

I love these village "fuentes" you find in the villages of the Alpujarra in rural Spain. Built in times long gone by. You just can't beat the sound of running water, especially in these difficult time...

The quiet and quaint little village of Ferreirola in the Alpujarras, this morning, as the initial rays of the sun arrive. Just stunning!

Going to be a nice sunset tonight in the Alpujarras. Goodnight from the town of Lanjarón, south of Granada

Took a punt on the €75 TTArtisans 25mm f2 APS-C lens. (37.5mm full frame equivalent). Very cheap and with some obvious weaknesses, especially corner sharpness at f2, but in general for the price paid...

I had to work this morning. Yes the dreaded "W" word!🤣 We did a couple of short routes ... the Ruta Pavilla at Nigüelas followed by the stunning Cascada Alcázar at Conchar (photo beow). You can easily...

Hiking the "Sendero de Pavilla" above the Andalucian town of Nigüelas. A short, but high quality route, on aerial walkways above the valley and alongside irrigation channels

A section of the GR142 long distance path through the Alpujarras this morning. And what a morning it is. Have a great weekend everybody.

I was a bit too late to capture tonight's "Parade of the Planets" but a beautiful sky nonetheless. The bright planet must be "Venus" I guess. https://www.farmersalmanac.com/rare-sky-event-parade-of-pl...

Loved this frontage to a house in the village of Izbor, Andalucia. Despite being covered with remnants of the Autumn's Sahara Dust storm (Calima) the owner has decorated with plants in beautiful ceram...
