Trees

Autumn has arrived. Despite its typical sadness (the end of summer, beggining of cold and rain, shorter days...) this season has got many reasons not to be worst one. One of mines is that I like woods, and autumn is the most beautiful time for woods, as you can see in the pic!
Since I have lived most of my life in the south of Spain, I'm not used to these humid and old woods which grow in the north, and now it's easier for me to enjoy these magic places. This one in the pic is located in Euskadi (a place with an awesome nature, but maybe sadly known by many of you because of the terrorist attacks... Please follow the link if you feel interested in know a little bit more about this beautiful region.)

There are these kind of woods in the south, too, but they are not the common ones. When I lived in Extremadura I liked walking by some open woods, called "dehesas". Traditional uses of farming have modelled the primary dense woods of quercus into an ondulated landscape, where you can easily see a lot of animals, overall beautiful birds...

It's said that we want all we haven't got, and that is happening to me now... When I lived in the south, I loved my "dehesas", but I desired with anxiety time to visit the amazing landscapes of the north.... Now I have plenty of time to watch cliffs, wet woods and big mountains, but what I'd like best is to come back to walk by that sunny south...

It's pretty cold here!! ;-)
