Your photos are great pairing, demonstrating your skill in very different modes.
The best I can do – no head for heights myself and no skill photographing birds – is report that every bird in Liston has its eye open for Leopard, Prince of Darkness as he prowls, and runs up trees, and skithers down them backwards hoping for a kill – as is his nature, but not our desire.

I look at both of your photos, Paula, while listening to the music you’ ve chosen perfectly to go with them and…it really does feel like one happy Thursday! Must admit I could sit somewhere on the rooftops of the first photo and enjoy the view…just like a bird, and simply appreciate the beauty around. Splendid captures!

Just a quick hello. Insane amount of work here today (a lot lately, but the level of work reached to a completely retarded amount today) and fully packed program in the evenings! Both shots are really lovely. I didn’t have any drafts saved up that could fit, so I have to pass on the challenge this time… I hope that you’re fine and that you’re enjoying the summer! 🙂

Ya veo que esta ola de calor está siendo igual de seria en toda Europa, aquí es tan terrible que cuesta caminar.
Ya te queda muy poco para las vacaciones y en la playa seguro que conseguirás mejor temperatura.
