Here is the Presa de las Bermejales, a large lake (and a man-made reservoir) situated in the west of Granada Province on the northern boundary of the Natural Park of Las Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama.
This secluded spot, far from the usual tourist trail, is a haven of tranquility especially during the very busy month of August. It´s a beautiful place to spend a peaceful few hours or days, enjoying nature at it´s best.
I love coming here!

This is gorgeous, Marianne, there’s so much to look at and so many layers of silhouettes. xxx Ailsa
It IS quite an interesting shot, the more you look at it. And it´s thanks to you and your challenge that I got to examine it in detail! Thanks Ailsa 🙂
Gorgeous!! I love the lines and framing. What a spectacular place. 🙂
It was a photograph, perfectly framed, just waiting to happen 🙂

Really nice photos – nice blog
Thanks. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment.
What a striking image!
Thanks, M. I thought I would have found lots of photos of silhouettes in my collection, but there were surprisingly few.
Glad I managed to find this one though. 🙂
great photo…light and light and some more light!
Thanks!
That´s one of the fantastic things about Spain, isn´t it? The wonderful light. We are soooo lucky living here. 🙂
No wonder you like coming there 🙂 I would too. Beautiful Marianne, just beautiful… I have a thing for lakes .. too bad it is not closer to my home 😉
It´s such a peaceful area, Paula. I´ve always loved places where there is water – either inland lakes, rivers or by the sea.
Beautiful and perfect framing!
Thanks Gilly – I really appreciate your comment. 🙂
Perfect for the challenge, and silhouettes aren’t so easy to come by.
Thanks Jo. You´re right, I really had to search to come up with this one.
This is really beautiful, Marianne. 🙂 I haven’t forgotten your “looking up” challenge. It will be my next post. 🙂
Thanks and I look forward to seeing it! 🙂
I love how that frames the view, and the long shadows are interesting, too.
Thanks Margaret. I totally agree 🙂
stunning views
Yes, they really are 🙂

I love that picture – I can see why you like going there!
Thanks Marco. I love the way the structure almost forms a picture frame around the scene 🙂
You’re right, it does! I REALLY like this picture
