A Forumist in Mallorca...

[Thomas Huber]

OK, so especially for Maggi some Mallorcan landscapes:

35 - little lake in the Serra de Tramuntana
31 - 200m cliff line near Cabo Formentor
104 - on top of Massanella
23 - Merendera filifolia near Palma
41 - Arum pictum, Cabo Formentor
18 - Cala Boquer

Seems like I've photographed some other plants than Crocus, too

Thomas,

Paddy, these "Steinmännchen (Stone-people)" were everywhere on Mallorca.
In the mountains they are used to mark a trail - very useful!!!

One more panorama photo with the view from Puig Massanella east-south-west with the Puig Mayor on the very right side

And an overview photo of Paguera playa. Don't ask me who the half-naked man on the right is, suddenly he was there

[Maggi Young]

Thomas,  wonderful panorama pix!!
The  native peoples of North America have these Steinmännchen, also.... they call them Inukshuk  ( these ones have 'arms' !!    )

[Thomas Huber]

The Spanish ones don't have arms, but we found this one:

Extraordinary.... how do they put their glasses on when they they have no arms? Mind you, I see their glasses have no legs......

   Good question, Maggi - very good question. But I don't have an answer for you

Quite a spectacle!

Fantastic panoramas - and so easy to scroll acrosssssssssssssssss and enjoy the views

Thomas, some of those pictures, the panoramic ones in particular, make me feel like an eagle soaring over those sites. Wonderful!

A friend here in the greater Washington, D.C. area, grows Arum pictum - it was in bloom a few weeks ago. My plant is too small to bloom.

Maggi a Canadian friend of mine has small inukshuk made from pieces of thick glass. I think these ones are armless?

Gorgeous landscape!! I hadn't realised how high the hills are on Mallorca! Thanks so much for the photos.

I know what my son would say if you asked him who the king of Mallorca is: Rafa! And not "our" Rafa

We have one with arms and a book about these tribal creations ( which can be found in a truly monumental scale in Canada) and they alll show "arms".... will take pic and add it here later..... later.... here is a pc of our Inukshuk, he's about 15cm high and is made of dark green jade.....

 Mmm, Chloë , this is a puzzle.... I'm guessing a famous Mallorcan footballer? Or is Raphael Nadal  a Mallorcan?
Of course "our" Rafa is the king of Castille!!

Jim, my photos do only partly show the beauty of the Serra de Tramuntana. Seeing them with your own eyes
is much more breathtaking. After the trip I was told that the smile on my face seems to be like burned in 

Chloe, please tell us who your son's favourite Rafa is!

Maggi your American Canadian  Steinmännchen looks much more arty than the Mallorcan ones!
