Sugar Mountain

(1/250, f7.1, iso-100, 70mm)

Back to a roadtrip I made last June with one of my best friends. This was a view of the tiny (11 habitants!) village of Salinas de Trillo and the high Pyrenees behind it.
This feels so long ago and so far away being in Malaysia for a month already. We do have an amazing view from our place over the city with the jungle mountains surrounding it, but the ´sugary´ tops are missing…

Have a great holiday and new year, y´all!

Thank you for liking “Reflections.” Wow, what a beautiful photo! I like the contrast between the dark green mountains in the foreground and the light hues of the mountains and clouds in the background. The Pyrenees and the clouds look so ethereal.

There is nothing like layers and layers of mountains with different colors. I know you must be missing Spain but it sounds like you got out before the cold weather arrived. I finally made my way up to Zaragoza and discovered the fierce Cierzo winds late in November. Nobody warned me before. Enjoy the warm weather of your new home.

  Hola Eduardo, totally agree and the Pyrenees have so many of these views to offer, dearly missed althoug the green mountains i see from my home to seem inviting, not snowcapped like in Spain, but still….
  I read about the Cierzo being very fierce now, such a weird phenomenon; if you move 20 kilometers north or south out of the Ebro valley it gets much better!
  Happy travels in 2014 and thanks for your support, Ron.

      Thanks, erg leuk om te horen, veel Spaans archief nog door te spitten, maar misschien stel ik dat express wel even uit!
      Hier gaat prima hoor, nog niet veel gefotografeerd, wel altijd in mijn achterhoofd wat eventueel mooie objecten, plekken kunnen zijn…
      Nederland goed in de stemming met feestdagen?
