All in a day's cycle ride

[Kaye Leggett]

Yesterday we did a 20 mile cycle ride in the National Park of Capo de Gata (Southern Spain). I restricted myself to one 90mm lens to see what I could come up with. Here are the results

1 - the spring flowers are just gorgeous and grow in the most unlikely of places without any help from any gardening



2 - the sea is impossibly blue



3 - 'someone' saw potential in what we think was an old quarry floor



4 & 5 I was lucky to get this shot on the beach - five minutes later it had been 'decorated' with drying beachwear. And the sand dunes are unusual here as are the sandstone rocks - fossiled sand apparently. This beach was used in one of the Indiana Jones movies for this reason





6 - And on the way back to base



7 - to finish, a cheeky shot of my husband !!

A very impressive set of images. That was a good day's work with the camera.

Great series and just goes to show you can get a pretty good landscape at 90mm. I like the windmill and old quarry especially. Wonder if it was Pacasso or Dali? Being Spain it was most likely Dali.

Nicely done. I need a bike to help with zooming with my feet when I'm only carrying one lens.

Nice series. I love the last one just for a bit of fun.

Kaye, great shots and such a nice variety!

Hi Kaye,

A very nice series. Uniquely beautiful to me are #4 & #5. Love the colours in #1 & #2.

#7

Aside - I can see dust spots in the sky especially apparent in #2

[Kaye Leggett]

Thank you all for your very encouraging comments. Graham I agree it is definitely Dali! Christina, I have spent some of this morning cleaning..... Hopefully the dustspots will disappear today! As for these, they'll have to wait until I get home and have access to my monitor.

This morning I was up at dawn to capture the flora on camera, watch this space.....

Very nice set Kaye. My fav is #3.

I am with Chris....the last one made me laugh so loud...I am beginning to like your sense of humour... More please...I cannot find a favourite, maybe one and three but I really like the last one best!

Awesome, Kay. I'd say you rose to the challenge that you presented to yourself. Must have been a lovely ride. Nicely done.

[Kaye Leggett]

Thanks again to all. Setting myself challenges seems to work!
