HANWE, everyone!

Anvil shaped storm cloud (I would guess somewhere over the Lozoya Valley), sunset and, yes, it came our way. Another very stormy sleepless night! Enough is enough! (Sorry about the bit of camera shake clearly visible in those town lights!)

Dusk view without a sunset. The third of three pos…

A shot taken from the opposite direction to the shot recently posted of the house from the road down there. Shot taken from the middle terrace, overlooking the lower terrace, part of the back garden and part of the vegetable and fruit garden.

Another day another storm!

Low sun evening light, and I reckon we've had an average of two storms a day in the past 2.5 weeks. Highly unusual, especially in late Spring / early Summer. And yet they don't bring much, if any, of the prayed-for sustained heavy rain. Perhaps better on large for countryside detail, even though the mountains are obscured by cloud.

My sister's shot (no 2). HANWE everyone!

A view ove the Jarama Valley from a terrace to the Sierra de Guadarrama, including my beloved Sierra de La Cabrera at the left.

We do get strange cloud formations here!

My sister's shot from the house. I'd long forgotten this song but it seems a perfect classic rock song of its time, the early 70s. And it certainly sounds better to me today than when it was released when I was all into Hendrix, Joplin and so on! Sight and Sound: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9EbR0ckb40

Another (this time without zoom) shot of the Sierr…

Another view from the back of the house. Sight and Sound. No reason but that I like it www.youtube.com/watch?v=fatP7thewQM&list=RDGMEMP-96bLtob-xyvCobnxVfywVMfatP7thewQM&start_radio=1

HANWE everyone!

Another of my sister's from one of the terraces. Good on large. (She'll be retiring in the not-too-distant future so I'll try and persuade her to join ipernity as she ought to have more time!)

HFF everyone! Not quite a tornado, but damned clos…

The storm and storm cloud seen here had been above us about 15 minutes beforehand and with almost tornado-like gusts of wind! All the garden furniture was scattered around the neighbours' gardens and we acquired a fair sprinkling of theirs! Figs still not ripe.

Golden glow from ripening barley and fig tree fore…

Another shot of the view from the garden. I reckon the figs will be ripe in about a month ("sooner than that" says my brother-in-law and he will probably be right; I was thinking of my 4 fig trees in my London garden years ago!).

Another view from the back of the house. Early mor…

Fog in the Jarama Valley. The Sierra de La Cabrera can be seen in all its craggy but tiny extent. To the left is the brooding hulk of Mondalindo which is not granite and therefore much more rounded. Usually the mountains would be snow covered up till May but not this year. My sister's shot.
