Being a keen photographer, that doesn't do "selfies", I don't get in photos much. I do love this one though taken yesterday by @khusky. I'm on a rikkety bridge over a small river with huge rock walls...

"You can see the pub from here" 😃 well maybe not the pub, but you can almost make out my house. An unusual image showing the location of the town of Lanjarón (700m) nestled on a small hillside. The Ta...

I've travelled this road from the Sierra Nevada mountains down to the village of Nigüelas many times. The final kilometers enter a spectacular gorge, but the light has never been right for an image. E...
