Exploring the quiet Toril valley in the Sierra Nevada yesterday. A moody day with cloud over the snow covered peaks but some spells of sunshine pushing through during the afternoon. The head of the To...

@recollir even on a gentle hike I did in cold, strong wind last week I teared up and struggled to find my footing on a descent, even with glasses. Might have to get some small goggles 🤔

Yesterday I had a little fun on a hike with a manual focus TTArtisan lens (F2/25mm APSC). This was a very cheap lens (€75!). Aperture and focus set manually via the lens. When you are used to auto foc...

Photos from the Tabernas desert badlands hike I did a few days ago. The whole area is a a chaotic mass of broken rock and battered, crumbling cliffs

A strange thing to come across yesterday whilst hiking in the Taberna's desert badlands of Almeria! Any idea what this was and why it was here? 🤣

Today I hiked in a place close to my heart and stood in the exact same footsteps as Clint Eastwood and Eli Wallach in "The Good, the Bad & the Ugly". This view never fails to stir the senses, I love i...

River walking with a lovely group of people from Norway today. Inside the dense, lush foliage the air was cool, was even colder in the waterfall! 😂 A classic hike for a hot Spanish day
