Home / 2010's / 20190212 Montgó 29
Another trip up this huge lump of rock. I am beginning to feel my age a bit, it was a lot harder than I remember my previous trip. But still worth it.
-
Barney the rock-dog
He's having a great time, but really, it's a long haul even for him. -
Denia
Yes, it is a bit steep isn't it? -
Montgó
It doesn't look like it's getting any easier now we're halfway up. -
Starting to climb Montgó
A rugged trail giving way to a tricky scramble up to the summit, with a mad dog trying to pull me over any which way he can. -
Montgó north coast
View past Denia from the summit. -
Montgó view north
Rugged landscape, isn't it? -
Montgó summit
Barney finding the only shade on the summit. -
Jávea view from the summit
Clear and dry, but there is still some haze about. Ibiza is not visible today. -
Montgó summit
It really is a rocky, mountainous landscape 'round these parts. -
Montgó view
View inland from the top of Montgó. -
Montgó bird
Love the throat markings -
Montgó bird
Wondering if I am ever going to feed it. -
Montgó birdlife
No idea what this is, but it was determined to be photographed. -

Montgó summit
OK, I cheated. I set the camera to "P", set off the self-timer and hoped for the best. -
Lavender
Bee collecting pollen from wild lavender. I can't really photograph insect life (my favourite) when I have a half-mad spaniel in tow. -
Yellow Flowers
Playtime with the macro lens -
Broom
I *think* the common name of this is Butcher's Broom -
White thistle
Yes, I am pleased with this one! -
Blue flowers
Gotta crack that depth of field issue! -
Sage
Sage, with rosemary in the background. I also saw lavender and what looked like fennel. Even this early in the year, the scent was superb. -
Narcissi
Truly tiny narcissi all over Montgó - I should've taken more time over this as the flowers are not all in focus and the bug could've been a real bonus. -
Blue Flowers
Startlingly blue flower which hopefully this shot enhances. -
Blue Flower
No idea what this is, but there was a lot of them about and it's very pretty. -
Bokeh
Again, pleased with this one. The background bokeh seems to enhance the flower spike. -
Spurge
Quite pleased with this one. Focus decreasing with depth quite nicely I thought. -
Arenal
Arenal beach is very distinct in this shot. We're staying in a townhouse pretty much right in the middle of this shot. -
Jávea port & lighthouse
Excellent views from the top of Montgó - it's a clear enough day but a fair amount of haze on the horizon, so Ibiza is not visible. -
Rock Plant
A bit of a better job, but the background needs umm, backgrounding more. -
Rock Plant
Macrophotography is a perishable skill! Depth of field needs increasing to get the whole plant in focus, but keeping as much of the background bokeh as possible. The whole plant is no more than my fingernail in size.
