Mallorca 2008 and 2011 - Snapshots with Nikon D80 and D300

La sierra de Tramuntana en Mallorca (España) es patrimonio de la humanidad, pero no por su riqueza y diversidad natural, sino por la integración entre la mano del hombre y el medio natural de forma respetuosa y sostenible. En la foto se ven varios ejemplos de la acción del hombre. Unos no me gustan demasiado, como el edificio principal. Otros modelan el paisaje de una forma única, como los bancales, esas terrazas para el cultivo hechas de tierra y "pedra en sec". Pero hay uno más que quizás pase desapercibido: esa luz neblinosa tan bonita es consecuencia de las numerosas quemas de rastrojos que estos días están por todas partes. Qué cosas...
Feliz viernes a todos

"Serra de Tramuntana" mountain range in Mallorca (Spain) is a World Heritage Site, but not for its natural wealth and diversity, but for the integration between the men's action and the natural environment in a respectful and sustainable way.
In that photo, taken yesterday, several examples of this can be seen. I don't like some of them, like the main building. Others, like the "bancales" (terraces for cultivated land made of land and stone) shape the landscape in an unique way. But there is one more that may be unnoticed: this beautiful misty light is due to the numerous bonfires that are now everywhere in Mallorca to burn sttubles.

Hilly landscape around Valldemossa, Mallorca. This photo is taken from a nice viewpoint looking towards south.
Of all the famous foreigners attracted to Mallorca's northwest coast, none is so admired locally as 'S'Arxiduc', Archduke Ludwig Salvador. Born in 1847 in the Pitti Palace, Florence, the son of Leopold III of Tuscany and Marie Antoinette de Bourbon, he came to Mallorca 20 years later to escape from Viennese court life and immediately fell in love with the island.
An ecologist before it was fashionable, and an eary hippy who wore Mallorcan peasant clothes, he bought up estates along the coast in an effort to save them from development, and devoted himself to studying and recording Mallorcan wildlife and traditions. His seven volume Las Baleares took 20 years to produce and is still an authority on its subject. He died in 1915 in a Bohemian castle.
The Archduke's home at Son Marroig, outside Deia, has been turned into a shrine to his memory, with his photographs, paintings and books and a museum devoted to his life. In the gardens is a white marble rotunda, made from Carrara marble and imported from Italy, where you can sit and gaze at the Na Foradada ('pierced rock') peninsula, jutting out to sea with a gaping 18-m hole at its centre. Ask at the house for permission to walk onto the peninsula.
The house plays host to concerts throughout the year.
