Colours of the land

Even after 14 years here, I'm still amazed by the colours of the land and plants,  considering that this is a very hot dry part of Spain.  There are always plants with colour, those that don't shed their leaves, such as the rosemary and the olive trees, the wild thyme, the list goes on.  But also, there are a lot of colours that come from the land itself, the rocks that give wonderful scenery.  Colours ranging from dark grey to terracotta,  from dull to shiny,

No words really necessary in these photos

layers of grey with a hint of red

and a slowly collapsing almond above the wall

shiny stones washed down a stream

over a metre tall,  fallen from way up high

silvery shiny rocks
