This mountain is more wooded than what I would have imagined for Sardinia. I compared your photo #97115
with a couple that I posted for the Grand Ballon (Vosges) and found a passable similarity except for the Punta'a big crag. Looks like a big oak in the signature selection. Lily is a knockout.
Thanks, Mark. I'm not sure about the Vosges having never been ther. But I have been to Schwarzwald on the other side of the Rhine and if that's an indication the resemblance must be accidental. There are quite a lot of oaks (many of them cork oaks) on Sardinia but the remainder is just macchia, thorny bushes which bloom and smell marvelously. I agree about the lily. It's one of my favourite shots from the island.
Great page Gangolf! The only problem is that with modem conection, which I have, it takes '3h' to load, but hopefully one day we will all be on cable :-)
Thanks Aleksandar! Yes Mathias Zehring pointed that out to me a while ago before he switched to DSL. I just end up putting more and more large pictures on my pages. I guess I'll have to stop that again.
Thanks Livio! No I'm sparing the best ones until the end. Actually it is just another shot of the same orchid I put up on the Punta Catirina page. It is sharper and you can see the blossoms more clearly. I have three more orchid pictures, one for each Monte Albo summit I plan to submit (including the Monte Albo group page).
Thanks Klaus! It's a Nikon Coolpix 5700 which I used without any additional gear on Sardinia (didn't want to carry all those converters and filters with me - our luggage was 7kg overweight already). It'll be different in Lesachtal in September, though. Plus I started experimenting with pol filters...
Thanks, Maria Grazia! I think I developed a taste for flowers on Sardegna. We were lucky - the weeks before we arrived they had a lot of rain so that all the meadows and flowers waited for us to arrive!
