Estas son la estaciones que, por su orden, se van sucediendo conforme subimos el zigzagueante viacrucis (también se escribe vía crucis) hacia el Santuario y el Castillo de Cullera.
Hemos optado por recopilarlas conjuntamente con el GIMP para dar una somera idea de cómo son y en aras de una mayor simplificación, para no tener que subir 14 fotos individualmente.

These are the stations that, in order, follow each other as we climb the zigzagging Via Crucis (also written Via Crucis) towards the Sanctuary and the Castle of Cullera.
We have chosen to collect them together with the GIMP to give a brief idea of what they are like and for the sake of greater simplification, so as not to have to upload 14 photos individually.

When I go on my annual golf trip to Spain every autumn I stay in a friend's house in a room on the 2nd floor. The room has a large terrace and this was shot from that terrace one evening as the sun was setting looking west over a number of properties. These sunsets are gone as quickly as they arrive but can be so beautiful for those moments they exist.
The inexhaustible Spanish Water Dog is a dual-purpose breed whose hallmark is a coat of wooly curls. Used as both a herder and waterfowl retriever in his homeland, this rustic charmer is a lively family companion and vigilant watchdog.
Had to go back to this wonderful looking flower to take a shot after I walked past it during my lockdown walk. Since I don't know much about plants and flowers I had to look up the name. Google tells me that this is called a Spanish Iris. I took this single backlit image from about 1 meter away soon after the start of the golden hour. I under exposed a little so the background would be darker and to make the flower stand out better.
To me, Salamanca is one of the most beautiful cities in Spain, or anywhere for that matter. Founded in 1134, the university is the third oldest in the world that is still operating.
Lo más llamativo, sin duda, es el reloj de sol. La instantánea se tomó todavía en horario de verano (CEST = Central European Summer Time), que es tanto como decir 2 horas por delante de la solar (GMT +2). El reloj marcaba las 10:00 horas de sol, y los datos exif de mi cámara indican que eran las 12:00 horas. La conclusión es que el gnomon del reloj proyecta perfectamente su sombra y está muy bien colocado.
No matter how many sunrises I witness over the Mediterranean Sea on the Costa del Sol, I still stand in awe at the rise of this powerful planet. The incredible light change is over in such a short time - the rise is fast and luck has to be on side to catch the seconds of difference.
"In July, 1955, Harry Feather, geologist at Wichita Falls, Texas, notified the director of the University of Oklahoma Museum of his recent discovery of a Spanish arrastra in the Wichita Mountains of Southwestern Oklahoma. Mr. Feather supplied a crudely drawn map of the approximate site and suggested that the Museum consider restoring it as a coatribution to the early history of the region. Nothing was done about following up the suggestion until June, 1956, at which time this writer and Dr. Sherman Lawton, archaeologists by avocation, set out for the Mountains on a brief exploratory venture. "
After failed attempts from a crudely drawn map, the archaelogists enlisted the help of a ranger who had seen the arrastra. It's location is still not marked, but with some decent directions and google maps with a weak cell signal, I was able to locate the site. Arrastras were crude ore mills.

Thank you most kindly for stopping by to view my work.
If you find you have a few words to say about what I have done they will be much appreciated.
My best regards to you.... Martin
One of many dykes that radiate out, like spokes in a wheel from the base of the Spanish Peaks. These dykes are very thin in places and can be hundreds of ft high, like a huge Stegosaurus Dinosaur (with a little imagination). People have been known to climb them and traverse along their ridge, not for the faint hearted !!!
