Adventures, wildlife, and life in the Alpujarras

Polar air has marched it's way to southern Spain, even dropping some precipitation along the way. We went to take some photo's showing the snowy Sierra Nevada above. Our usual place for this shot took us into an area that was devastated by wildfire in September last year. It was horrifying to watch then, It was horrifying to wander through today. The loss of wildlife, nature & livelihoods is beyond words.
