Taken from the Mirador San Nicolas viewpoint in full sun. This shot shows the snow capped mountains behind the Alhambra. The Sierra Nevada mountain range in the Andalusian province of Granada contains the highest point of continental Spain: Mulhacén, at 3,479 metres.

Driving from Cordoba to Mojacar along the A308 road east of Aznallos we stopped for this view of the mountains. One of the peaks is the Peñón de La Giganta in the Sierra Arana. The whole area is studded with olive groves on every hillside.

Another shot from my second trip to California via a 1250 mile railway journey from Denver to San Francisco which started on the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad to Ogden. After a bus ride from there to Salt Lake City city centre we changed to Amtrak & from there to San Francisco we took the Southern Pacific route through the Sierra Nevadas via the snow-covered Donner Pass. This shot was taken looking east from the open end-of-carriage connecting door in eastern California

My second trip to California was via a 1250 mile railway journey from Denver to San Francisco which started on the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad to Ogden & after a bus ride from there to Salt Lake City city centre we changed to Amtrak. From Salt Lake to San Francisco we took the Southern Pacific route through the Sierra Nevadas via the snow-covered Donner Pass. This shot was taken from the open end-of-carriage connecting door in eastern California between Truckee & Colfax. Note the caboose on the tail end of an eastbound freight train heading uphill.
