A really hot day in the Sierra de La Cabrera

A really hot day in the Sierra de La Cabrera
A scorching day - the one where I forgot my sun cream and had ears like pork scratchings (the Spanish would better understand 'toreznos') at the end of it! It also persuaded me that a hat was essential! Taken in 2012 and first posted in ipernity in 2018. Perhaps better on full screen.

Thank you!
I didn't make the same mistake twice, George!
Spanish folk instinctively stay out of the sun. I am frequently the only walker in these here parts!!

Hi, Andy. Thank you for your visit and comments and for sharing the contact. This is a perfect time to visit the galleries of people one might have missed before. The lack of new images gets us to explore the positive wealth of "old" images here on Ipernity! I have only been a member for a little over one year, so there is not much that really qualifies as "old" in my gallery. Reposting previous images is also not quite as satisfying for me. One of the things I enjoy is captioning and with old photos that is already done so ... not as much fun as posting new images and coming up with little stories to go with them. I will mostly just wait for the glitch to be fixed, I think. But I keep up with developments, discussions and comments (well, mostly ... and not quite very timely). From a first quick visit of your gallery, I am struck by your attraction for and by the beautiful compositions of rocky landscapes. Here you really do justice to the beauty and contrasts of the Sierra strewn with wild flowers and grasses. Worth getting your ears sunburned!

Hello, Annalia!
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful appraisal of my gallery and also your thoughts on uploading old photos again. I share your views on the latter and, because some of mine come from an old platform (Panoramio - which was killed off by Google in 2016), many of their associated notes are a little out of date, enough for me to warrent slight amendments to the captioning.
Yes, I haven't been as diligent in revisiting members' past output to date so I am enjoying the opportunity to catch up with pre 2016 shots. Here in Madrid we are snowed in and this, tiogether with lockdown for our district, gives me no further excuse!
Let's hope that ipernity can recover. I get mixed feelings when I read the IMA pages of notes and comments; more optimistic at times then less so. But in 2017, we came through and I pray we can do so again.
In the meantime I will enjoy delving into your gallery a little more in the comming days and weeks.
Once again many thanks and all best wishes,
Andy
