Montseny

Thankfully I had some time around lunch today, and was able to put some thought into the blip. I discovered that Montseny was covered in snow, and would be a nice backdrop for something... That "something" was not so easy, but I spotted this lonely Mediterranean Pine from the car. I shall not go into detail about what I needed to do to get a good angle, but my shoes are not a pretty sight right now.

Montseny is a mountain range west of the coastal hills north of Barcelona. It is part of the Catalan Pre-Coastal Range. It has the highest mountains in the area south of the Pyrenees and dominates the plains south of Girona. UNESCO designated Montseny a biosphere reserve in 1978. The regional government designated it a natural park in 1987. (from Wikipedia)
