MONTSERRAT

Mountain Montserrat (1236m) is a part of the Catalan Pre-Coastal Range. Its huge ridge on the top looks like a jaw with tusks. Montserrat is a conglomerate of the sedimentary rocks, that emerged from the Ebro Basin in the Eocene Epoch (around 50 million years ago). The mountain situated 50km from Barcelona and is an attractive place for tourists, mountain climbers and pilgrims, because of Santa Maria de Montserrat monastery, that was built in the XI century.

It was my second time on Montserrat. I was lucky, because as I was on the top of the mountain the weather has suddenly changed into bad weather. Usually bad weather means good images for a photographer…

Montseny

Montseny is a mountain range located in Cataluniya, Spain, about 70km North from Barcelona. The highest point is Turó de l'Home 1712 m above sea level…

Yesterday I and a couple of friends went to the mountain Montseny. Montseny is a mountain range located in Catalunya, Spain, about 70km North from Barcelona. The highest point is Turó de l'Home 1712 m above sea level.

Before you get to the top of the mountain, you have to walk through the dense forest that is mostly dominated by evergreen oaks, cork oaks, alders and pines. Suddenly, through the branches of conifer trees, you see the peak of Turó de l'Home. A few more meters and you are at the top. A huge panorama view opens and paralyzes you with its eternal beauty...
