Geoff's in the mountains in Spain, want to live here [further pics posted]?

Nice composition. I'm wondering about the light though - is the washout towards the back deliberate, or the sky was not really clear, coupled with afternoon shooting?
Wondering how the same shots in the half hour before the sun sets would look - the starkness of the mountains softened by the fading blue / gold light IOW?

Oh, I don't know. All that majesty would grow boring, and you'd be pining for the suburbs.
Crack photographs, as usual.

Ok, a couple more from last week in Spain...
Who'd like to live up in the mountains in a place like this?
Me! :raises hands:
At least for a little while. Little meaning a week or few. If there was something to occupy me. Like monastic living.
Are there goats? For some reason I imagine there'd be goats .

Beautiful, Geoff... just beautiful! *imagines walking out every day to see the beautiful view with a cup off coffee in my hand* Oh, you can probably imagine how much I would enjoy being around this breathtaking scenery every day! *sigh*
Oh, and aelan... I can imagine how beautiful it would be at sunset or sunrise!

Spain is a nice country and, unfortunately I've seen less of it's landscapes than what I'd like. Oh, well, there's always time.
Excellent photos, by the way.

Beautiful photographs. I don't know what else I can say. Just lovely.
Once again I've been completely oblivious to good threads....I haven't looked at any of your other photo threads yet
, but will start doing so. I enjoy photography & nature quite a bit myself, which is why it's silly I haven't looked through your threads yet.

Thankyou. The washout was terrible... low winter sun on a warmish day with heat haze. What you are seeing is the result of a polarising filter and some work with reducing the blue luminance on developing (digitally in lightroom). To the naked eye it was just haze, it was actually quite a revelation to see the detail that was picked up by the camera through the polariser...
Yes, the sunset would have been great.. but... there was no way I could have taken it. I was an hour's drive in to the mountains, and in the car I had some great barbeque ingredients, some woodchips and coals, and a villa to go back to with cold beer. Would you have stayed until after sunset
?Thank you!
Yes, quite a few goats in Spain... didn't see any at this spot, but I did get some good shots of them at sunrise in the mountains on Mallorca (let me just rummage through the collection...)

It is a good spot isnt it.. quite a few tourists, and I can see why...
Twister could be dangerous at altitude!
Did I mention the busloads of tourists? I am not sure how it'd be midsummer with busloads... it was great in December though!
Thank you. Spain is a fun country, so much ugly development, and so much beautiful scenery and natural wonder. Contrasts, that's for sure...

Great photos! I will have to look through your other threads, I can't believe they have eluded me until now.
What a lovely view to have every day. Of course, the first thing I thought of though was "God, what a pain in the ass it must be when you need to run out for a quart of milk!"

There's a group of people on the lower right who look like they are just standing and enjoying the beautiful view.Well.. there are some shops and things, it's a little medieval village on the top of the mountain... just in case you wanted to know what it looked like...
