Appreciating Nature! .:. In The Middle of Nowhere

It looks like I found the best community that fits my needs and my weekly schedule! I usually share these walks in the #WednesdayWalk community, but as I'm running the #HHHLive show on that day, I'm usually exhausted and can't create any posts on Wednesday... But, on the other side, the week doesn't have enough days to publish everything that I would like to share, and because of that, my (internal) photo gallery is growing and I can't manage to publish these posts "on time"... That's where the #TBT comes in place! I can re-check old photos, remind myself how great it was, maybe motivate myself to go out and pay another visit, or just enjoy the memory!!

Usually, I have 2 main reasons behind publishing "these kinds" of posts...

1. It is too cold to go outside for a walk, but I still want to enjoy the "outdoor" experience... In those moments I pick some "summer" walk (like I did last week!) to warm myself up... 😂

2. It is too cold to go outside for a walk 😃, but I like to motivate myself that it is "not that cold"... Then I find photos from a walk like this one, that took place last year, in December 2023!!! It was cold, but it was sunny, and very pleasant weather for a walk...

The advantage of cold weather and winter is that the air is so clear and pure, especially in the mountains! I mean, there is no pollution up there as there are no normal roads at all or any industry nearby... What I want to say is that you can see so far in the distance as there is no "summer" humidity... If you pay attention to the photo above, you can see the sea in the distance and it is 20km far from the point where this photo is taken!

Speaking of that, I didn't say where this is... Let me share the exact location on the map...

As you can see, we were in the middle of nowhere... 😃

..and then you walk around, and you find a huge hole in the ground!! 😱 Obviously, it is artificial, as you can see by the stones from the inner side... If I remember well, this hole served as a "refrigerator" for people in the area... They would collect SNOW and store it inside it, well-covered with hay, in layers... It was a good way to preserve fresh food (especially fish), almost during the whole year!

Another look at the mountain peaks of the area... It is a wide photo on the banner, but you can recognize the small part of my photo above it!

It's amazing how roots find their way through rocks! Look at this beautiful art of nature!!

The best thing of all was that on this walk we saw maybe 2 people in total!!! And when you look at a photo like this one, you think that you are somewhere in the prairie, while we were almost 1000m above sea level...

I had more tryouts of these closeup photos, but almost none were successful... At least, I have these gorgeous red leaves for remember...

Most of these places from signs, aren't well marked... I mean, you see the names and distance, but when you get there, you don't know that you are at that spot... 😃 But, the one above, I do know as that was one of the first places on this mountain that we visited when we came to Spain... One of our friends recommended this mountain fountain (or maybe spring is a better word) if we want to drink good, natural water... Many people are going to these springs to collect water for home use, including ourselves!

What's interesting regarding this Font de Partagat is that after a few years of going there, we found another mountain fountain for recollecting water, that was a bit closer, and a bit "lower" than this one... The point of all this is that we actually began this walk at the Font del Moli, and were hiking up toward the other one... We didn't get to it, but looking at the map, and this sign, we were somewhere in the middle of the trail... Maybe next time!

It was enough for now, we headed back to the car, this time, going much faster as we were going down the mountain... 😃

I hope you enjoyed this short walk in the mountains... I did, and I feel nostalgia for this place... Will have to pay another visit soon!!!

Thank you for your time,
