I am so fortunate to live, where I do. Within a few minutes, I can reach such beautiful and wild places in nature. Yesterday evening I attended a triple birthday celebration, two of those celebrating are good friends of mine. The party was in a different valley to where I live, with the wonderful River Guadalfeo connecting us.
This is the route I took to reach there. Along the river. It's pretty toasty here right now, so I waited until almost sundown to venture out. Until it was the perfect temperature to walk. It took me about 30 minutes to get there.
I could probably walk it quicker, if I was fully focused on the walk, but it's so beautiful, that I had to pause many times to take in my surroundings.
And also to greet the river! I love walking with the sound of the river flowing next to me. Such wonderful music to my ears. I wasn't the only one enjoying the river, as up ahead I was greeted by the wonderful sound of bells.
These goats were the only other beings I met on my walk. I'm sure there was a shepard somewhere, but I didn't see him. Perhaps he had dozed off somewhere, as finally the heat of the day was beginning to die off.
Or perhaps he was in one of these caves. They don't look so big from the photos, but there was definitely enough room to cool off in there. Alot of shepherds make little dwellings in the many caves in the area.
As the evening wore on, the light began to change and with it the landscape. Everything was now beginning to be bathe in warm shades of orange.
At this point I could hear the music in the distance. So I made my way to the river, so that I could take a quick dip. Even though it had cooled down a lot, I was still quite hot from walking, so stripping off znd taking a plunge in the fresh river water was so invigorating. I've no pictures unfortunately, I was too busy getting wet.
Then it was time to head more inland. This was the path that would take me to the party. Tree lined all the way. It felt so good, to leave the river and step towards these trees.
I love this walk way, it has such a magical feel about it. I mean it's not hard to imagine magical creatures living in here. Going about their daily lives, as I made my way through this beautifully overgrown pathway. I just kept moving towards the music.
I didn't really take any pictures of the party, as usual I was too busy dancing. There were a few DJs and also this wonderful group, Eat Prunes, some of them are good friends of mine. The sing really uplifting lyrics, over some really nice fat Drum n Bass tracks. They always get the crowd going.
All in all, I had a wonderful evening. I mean what's better then being in nature, bathing in a river and then getting to dance with friends.
Nice photos. Thank you for sharing.
Whilst reading this, I juxtaposed it with my concrete jungle world. I walk betwixt homes on a road designed for cars. The few animals I see are so scared of any movement. We all feel the same feeling of angst in being hit by cars. The smell is a mixture of exhaust fumes and people cooking food (which might be the only good thing about it all). But there is no inherent beauty, nothing that makes one feel "at home". Thank you for sharing your part of the world. It is seriously beautiful.
I lived in London for a while, so I do understand that feeling.
But there is also some beauty within cities as well xxxx
So true yes. Not all is bad. There is immense beauty in some buildings and street alleys.
that looks awesome and wish we were there!
You are welcome any time xxx

That felt like going on a walk with you. Really cool.
Sounds like music I'd love.
Found some wild Coriander and Dill, Buckwheat and a bunch of other really wild herbs and a whole colorful variety of flowers. Recognising Oregano was strange, as I never really noticed it.
The land you are walking on looks so exotic and hot. How hot is it there right now?
It got up to 42 degrees Celsius today. Waited for ot to cool down, them I went to that very same river with my girls and the dogs and cooled off, the wTet was deliciously cold.
Wow they are some amazing finds.
I live wild oregano xxxx
