SIerra de La Cabrera. It stands out becuase of it's position atop this granite pile but also because it stands alone - there aren't many oaks near it.

Granite country. Mount Abantos in the background. San Lorenzo de El Escorial just out of sight to the right.

Monastery, oak and granite. Dear all, This is a copy of a message I composed on my previous upload yesterday, to Keith Burton but I think I should make it wider known. ...suddenly tonight I was unable to upload photos. I have my photos stored on my external hard drive. I can only upload them to my old laptop. This was deliberate, to separate work and pleasure so to speak. Suddenly I am asked for my sign in password and it wasn't recognised. I faced the same nonsense some of us faced a while back and I now have no way of associating my photos with ipernity. I don't have the ability to be able to associate my photos whith my new laptop, partly because it has been decided that I need to keep unnecessary frippery such as ipernity (not my choice of words, I can assure you!), away from my work stuff. I have uploaded one photo since then but this is from a very limited supply of unedited photos that were accidentally loaded onto my new laptop. Most of them aren't worth uploading to ip. This may well be goodbye. I hope not. I'm so busy right now that I haven't got the time to resolve it. All I want is to be able to wind down after a hard day by posting some photos and viewing other members uploads but that, amazingly, seems to be the hardest thing in the world to do right now. Yours, head down in a bowl of gazpacho, Andy Ps. if I do find some more passable unedited photos on this, my new computer, then I will upload one or two from time to time!

Oak, and views to the ridge, the convent / monastery and El Pico de La Miel.

Throwing an impressive shadow! In the distance are the highest peaks of the Sierra de Guadarrama including Penalara, La Maliciosa and Bola del Mundo.

By the side of the Roman Road near Zarzalejo and El Escorial.

The Roman road near El Escorial passes by this fine oak. Photo taken in August 2015 (ignore the incorrect exinf!).
