SE-Spain May 2009
« on: May 29, 2009, 07:55:56 AM »
Hi All,
Here are some pictures of scenery and plantlife in the Cabo de Gata area and mountains close to it (Sierra Alhamila; Sierra de los Filabres). Spring was late so many flowers! Don't hesitate to ask for details

Cheers,
Hans

Note: some problems arise when uploading the <500 kB pictures, so let me try a few first....

Sierra de Los Filabres at almost 2000m, strange intermediate Mediterranean-Alpine flora:

Lovely pictures, Hans. It would make them much easier to see if they were sized to around 760 x 600 pixels. With larger sizes and multiple pix per post, it is harder to enjoy the full effect while scrolling up and across the page, especially since the scroll bar is  after the lowest image..... :-X

I'm afraid these are almost all the pictures I have. Charming company  :o and a not properly functioning camera  :'( .....
Next time I'make more pictures.

Maggi, resizing the pictures is not possible; i do not have the right software installed on my PC.

Cheers, Hans

Thanks David! It works. The Gladiolus now has the appropriate size. The rest will be changed later.

Fascinating stuff.  Plants there I've never heard of, which is always nice to see.  ;D

The coris is beautiful, Hans - is anyone growing this successfully?  Excellent photographs of a lovely area. Many thanks for posting.
