Our group on top of the strangely named "Pico de la Carne" in the Cumbre Verdes range of hills south of Granada. It may be only 1806 meters altitude but what it lacks in height it more than makes up for it by rugged terrain and glorious views.

Atmospheric. Only been there once. When I was 13, a long long time ago. Guess it's not changed much apart from the amount of visitors!

Bit warm to be walking below 2000 meters but the cool breeze and forest foliage helped. Today we did a walk in the Sierra de Huetor, combining the Cañada del Senero with an off piste ascent of Cerro del Corza 1606m.
My first visit to Cerro del Corza. It's a wonderful viewpoint for not only the Sierra Nevada, but also the Majaliar and Peñon de la Mata peaks.
Cold beers back in los Faroles, Lanjaron were most welcome

Quite a lot of the TV series KAOS was filmed near me in Andalucia. Sevilla (Military Historical Museum) and Málaga areas primarily but also in one of my favourite hiking destinations, the Tavernas desert badlands of Almeria. The "Cave" nightclub in the series is in fact the old restaurant by the Tavernas exit of the A92 motorway turnoff. This place has also been used to film the "Black Museum" episode of the Black Mirror TV series.

I really enjoyed watching the KAOS TV series, a dark comedy and modern take on Greek mythology. Actually made me want to take a peek into Greek mythology as I never covered it during my educational years, many many years ago

Short (3 min) video I put together showing our 2 day backpacking hike up Alcazaba 3369m in Spain's Sierra Nevada mountains.

I'm really beginning to enjoy my experience on #Nostr. Such a liberating feeling. Many thanks to all the developers working on relays/clients

2024-09-06 08:21:43

The Mighty Alcazaba
Alcazaba 3369m is the 3rd highest peak in the Sierra Nevada and yet, in my opinion, it is undoubtedly the finest. Mulhacen, being the highest, is very popular and has a refuge close by. Veleta is easily accessible so has many people visiting it's summit. Alcazaba though, needs a bit more thought.
It's a more remote peak so you have either a very long and ardous day or you have to wild camp. I would always choose to wild camp, usually at the upper lakes of Siete Lagunas or Laguna de las Calderetas to the north.
Alcazaba, "The Fortress", is well named. It is guarded on 3 sides by cliffs, although there are trekking ways through those defences. A few days ago we started from Laguna de Borreguil (Siete Lagunas) and reached the Alcazaba summit plateau via a steep scree gully named "El Colaero", which brought us out at the col between Puntal de la Cornisa 3316m and Peñon del Globo 3296m. It's a short stroll from there to Alcazaba summit.
For something different we came back to Siete Lagunas via Peñon del Globo and the rough, mainly pathless ridge heading south east. We had taken our time, savouring the situations, but this meant we had missed the bus connection from Alto de Chorillo, adding another hour and a half walk in the hot sun down the dirt track.

The Torrente de Paréis gorge in Mallorca is so dangerous after heavy rainfall.
The body of a British woman has been found, with a man still missing, after the pair were caught up in flash floods.
Rescue services had been looking for the two hikers since Monday. Ten other tourists trapped by the floods were rescued.

Even though I live only 30 minutes drive from a nice beach and coastal town, I don't even remotely consider myself a beach bum. Maybe I'll visit once a year if that. Today was a mango salad washed down by a cold beer at a local "chiringito". Ah well, see you next year perhaps?

The hike into the valley of the "Siete Lagunas" a couple of days ago involved passing two small hidden lakes, rarely visited by other humans. Laguna Prado Negro and another further north which doesn't have a name. It should, it's stunning! The wonderful wild side of the Sierra Nevada that few others get to see.

Just popped up in some memories somewhere, 2013 and we are in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, capital city of Kamchatka taking a day off from the freezing cold (-30!) mountains to enjoy the warmth of city life.

Bit of a noob question here, but if I wanted to embed my #Nostr notes into my personal website is there a simple way I can pull off/download my notes into a json file?

definitely yes

Beautiful morning today. Standing on the summit of Cerro los Machos (3329m) a few moments ago. In the background the peaks of Mulhacen and Alcazaba

Trying out Lightroom online via web browser and mobile. Being a long term Linux user I've never had the chance to use Adobe products until now. Rawtherapee and Darktable being my software for photo edits.

Very atmospheric

Definite autumnal feel to the morning dog walk. Lovely colors, especially when the first rays of the sun hit the hillsides. Cooler with a slight breeze. Maybe end of the early morning/pre sunrise start of summer dog walking?

I'm going back to the Dolomites for a week at the end of September as I feel there is some unfinished business. This time, instead of just trekking, we are aiming to do 6 high level Via Ferrata routes in the Sella/San Martino mountain range in 5 days. Will use two refuges as a base. Really looking forward to it.

Hello Nostr world, good to meet you all. My first post shows an image taken last night of the town where I live in southern Spain, Lanjarón. Storm clouds are building at sunset and hopefully bringing much needed rain to our region
