FR: Espace naturel se caractérisant par un alignement montagneux orienté Est-Ouest qui forme une séparation des eaux entre le bassin de Tejada-La Aldea au Nord et ceux d’Arguineguín, Mógan et Venegura au Sud. Cet alignement est formé d’une série de montagnes et gorges, notamment les gorges de Pajonales, de La Negra et de Peladero, ainsi que les montagnes de Solapos de la Carnicería, La Alsándara (culminant à 1.570m), Las Yescas, Las Monjas, Ojeda et Inagua, connue également comme Montagne de Los Homos ou de La Escalera.
La végétation est constituée d’un bois épars de pins canariens assez arides. Le sous-bois varie en fonction des conditions d’humidité ; on notera la présence de variétés telles que l’euphorbe amère, la vipérine, la lavande à feuille étroite, la ciste, le thym et le genêt. Ses escarpements et murs épais abritent une riche biodiversité dont l’endémisme présente une forte valeur scientifique, comme le créosotier d’Inagua ou l’hélianthème, des espèces que l’on ne trouve que dans cette Réserve Naturelle Intégrale.
En outre, dans la pinède vit une intéressante faune invertébrée et vertébrée, notamment des oiseaux : on trouve ici les plus importants peuplements insulaires de pinsons bleus et de pics épeiches.
Cette zone abrite également d’intéressants vestiges de l’usage socio-économique qui était fait du pin, comme les fours de brai, les fossés à charbon ou les séchoirs de pommes de pins.
ES: Espacio natural caracterizado por una alineación montañosa con dirección este-oeste, que conforma una divisoria de aguas entre la cuenca de Tejeda-La Aldea al norte y las de Arguineguín, Mogán y Veneguera al sur. Esta alineación está formada por una serie de montañas y morros, destacando los morros de Pajonales, el de la Negra y el del Peladero, y las montañas de Solapos de la Carnicería, La Alsándara (la de mayor altura con 1.570 m.), Las Yescas, Las Monjas, Ojeda e Inagua, conocida también como Montaña de Los Hornos o de La Escalera.
La vegetación está constituida por un bosque abierto de pino canario de connotaciones secas. El sotobosque varía en función de las condiciones de humedad, destacando los formados por especies como la tabaiba amarga, el tajinaste, la hierba de risco o lavándula, la jara, el jarón, los tomillos y el escobón. Sus escarpes y paredones albergan una rica biodiversidad con endemismos de alto valor científico, como la jarilla de Inagua o el tumero peludo, especies exclusivas de esta Reserva Natural Integral.
Además on al pinar vive una interesante fauna invertefrada y vertebrada, destacando las aves, donde se encuentran las mejores poblaciones insulares de pinzón azul y de pico picapinos.
Esta área también alberga interesantes restos del uso socioeconómico del pinar, como son los hornos de brea, las hoyas carboneras o los secaderos de piñas.
EN: Natural area characterised by a mountainous alignment running east-west, which forms a watershed between the Tejeda-La Aldea basin to the north and those of Arguineguín, Mogán and Veneguera to the south. This alignment is formed by a series of mountains and hills, with the most notable being the Pajonales, Negra and Peladero hills, and the Solapos de la Carnicería, La Alsándara (the highest at 1,570 m), Las Yescas, Las Monjas, Ojeda and Inagua mountains, also known as Montaña de Los Hornos or La Escalera.
The vegetation is made up of an open forest of Canary Island pine with dry connotations. The undergrowth varies depending on the humidity conditions, with the most notable being species such as the bitter tabaiba, the tajinaste, the lavender, the rockrose, the jarón, the thyme and the broom. Its cliffs and walls are home to a rich biodiversity with endemic species of high scientific value, such as the Inagua rockrose or the hairy tumero, species exclusive to this Integral Natural Reserve.
In addition, the pine forest is home to an interesting invertebrate and vertebrate fauna, particularly birds, where the best island populations of blue finch and woodpecker are found.
This area also houses interesting remains of the socio-economic use of the pine forest, such as tar kilns, charcoal pits or pine cone drying sheds.

Beyond the glass wall was a slightly mysterious world of extravagant vegetation. Taken at Longwood Gardens Conservatory in early evening.
Maybe my favorite Light Painting I've ever done! Amanda was long suffering on this one! But as usual killed the pose! Shot in the basement of the warehouse,the darkest place I've shot to date! Could not see my hand in front of my face,made for a lot of stumbling in the darkness. Gelled the Coast HP21 what a beast I love this light! No cropping or photoshop used.

Was out at Balloch Castle Country Park again today. Tried to find some new interesting spots for photography. Wasn't too lucky, but eventually found this stump. Ended up taking a long exposure and, as you rightly guessed, I've been messing about with tones in lightroom! Anyway, I decided to do some extravagant processing for once!
Have a great weekend everyone.

A new series following Another Day in Capital City. I rarely go to London these days, but this is my third visit with camera in hand during the past 12 months… and the atmosphere, the city noise, the r-u-s-h hits me like a tidal wave every time.
Here… Another example of people inhabiting the same space, and yet still managing to preserve their own personal space. I generally find the underground in London to possess a similar atmosphere to that of some giant lift or doctor's waiting room!
