Mountains

It’s been a while since I last wrote, and much has happened. The most momentus was the coming of a grand daughter. Quite a little distraction!!

Back to the last European Summer and some of its great ranges.

Rioja is one of Spain’s great wine regions and Horrow. The wines and food make it a beautiful gastronomic stop.

The Pyrenees.

It’s a short hop into the Pyrenees and the beautiful city of Torla.

This little village sits just below the Spanish/France Frontier and is an the border of the Ordesay-Monte Perdido NP

Montserrat

The mountain trip across Spain ended at the amazing Montserrat.

Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso

Gran Paradiso rates amongst my favourite national parks in Europe. Once the King’s hunting ground, it was then gifted to the people after the unification of Italy. From a breeding program at Gran Paradiso, the Europen Ibix has been re established in the European Alps.

There are some beautiful views on the walks.

There is often a beautiful mountain and mountainous road in Europe, but these were lovely mountains indeed

With my smartphone in hand, I capture the little wonders that cross my path. Photography is more than a passion, it’s how I connect with the world. I’m constantly in search of new inspirations, both near and far.

    Wonderful captures! I traveled along with your images!✨😊

  2. D.Madland – Mount Shasta, CA – I love to ride my motorcycle, but I love it even more when I'm riding towards a new place to explore. Hot coffee, sunrises, ghost towns, trail heads, red rocks, desert oddities, UFOs, and Big Foot are all topics you might hear about in my journeys. My hope is to inspire other motorcyclists to get out there and ride.

    Love the Pyrenees – Spanish side so different from the French! And congratulations on becoming a granddad!

    1. Yes the Pyrenees are very beautiful. I’ve made a number of visits there. And being a grand dad is very uplifting
