SURROUNDINGS OF MONTALBÁN - (PHOTOGRAPHY SERIES)

Tcats.jpg


The past few days, or rather the past few weeks, have been quite challenging. On the one hand, there's the weather, which hasn't been typical for this time of year. We can have a beautiful day with clear skies and a cool breeze, and then a sudden, unusually violent storm followed by temperatures that can exceed 36°C along with very high humidity. And if the weather weren't enough, there's also the fact that I'm still recovering from some health problems related to heatstroke... For these reasons and more, I woke up early today and, after a light breakfast, went for a walk in the countryside surrounding the town with my camera slung around my neck... I simply wanted to walk without having to think too much, and that's exactly what I did...

Los días recientes, yo diría que "las semanas recientes", han siso muy complejos. Por un lado está el clima, el cual no termina de ser el acostumbrado a estas alturas del año, pues igual podemos tener un día hermoso de cielos limpios y brisa fresca, que una repentina tormenta de inusitada violenta y temperaturas que pueden sobrepasar los 36°C junto con una humedad muy alta. Y si el factor climático no fuera suficiente, entonces está también el hecho de que estoy aún e fase de recuperación después de haber sufrido algunos problemas de salud relacionados precisamente con un golpe de calor... Por esto y por más, hoy desperté temprano y, después de un ligero desayuno, salí a deambular hacia los alrededores campestres del pueblo con mi cámara en colgada al cuello... Simplemente quería caminar sin tener que pensar demasiado y así lo hice...

To be honest, I'm fortunate enough not to have to walk far to be immersed in the places you see in the photos in this post. Truth be told, just about 800 meters from my house, the town ends abruptly and the countryside begins... The first thing I encounter is a narrow stream (once quite powerful) surrounded by a lovely riverside forest with a few narrow paths that allow you to walk alongside the river. Then, when the forest ends—which isn't very wide, really—pastureland begins, and from the main road (a dirt track, not very wide, but wide enough for four-wheel-drive vehicles) you can appreciate the landscape with the mountains rising up around the valley...

Para ser honesto, tengo la fortuna de no tener que caminar demasiado para estar inmerso en esos lugares que observan en las fotos de este post. La verdad sea dicha, a solo unos 800 metros de mi casa el pueblo termina abruptamente y comienza el campo... Lo primero que encuentro es un angosto riachuelo (otrora caudaloso) rodeado de un lindo bosque de ribera el cual tiene algunos angostos senderos por los cuales se puede caminar bordeando al río. Luego, cuando se termina el bosque que no es muy ancho en realidad, comienzan algunos pastizales y desde la vía principal (un camino de tierra no muy ancho, pero si lo suficiente para que transiten vehículos de cuatro ruedas) se puede apreciar el paisaje con las montañas alzándose alrededor del valle...

This place is part of everything that, as a child (almost half a century ago, by the way), I liked to call "my other backyard," because I would sneak out of the house to come to the woods, play in the river, and wander along the dirt paths when I was just a little boy of 7 or 8 years old... Back then there were fewer fences, the river was fuller and cleaner, and you could even find women washing clothes in its waters. The weather was also more pleasant then, but in general, the place is still beautiful and ideal for relaxing with a walk amidst nature and the countryside...

Este lugar es parte de todo aquello a lo cual de niño (casi medio siglo atrás, por cierto) me gustaba llamar "mi otro patio trasero" pues me escapaba de casa para venir al bosque, jugar en el río y deambular por los caminos de tierra cuando era apenas un chiquillo de 7u 8 años... En aquel entonces había menos empalizadas, el río era más caudaloso y limpio, pudiéndose incluso encontrar mujeres allí lavando la ropa en sus aguas, también el clima era más benévolo entonces, pero en líneas generales el lugar sigue siendo bonito e ideal para relajarse caminando entre lo natural y lo rural...

These days, when I visit these places, I think of it as "my everyday space," because it's still so easy for me to come here and spend a pleasant time walking around, relaxing, taking in the scenery, listening to the wind, and breathing in the invigorating fresh air...

Hoy por hoy, cuando recorro estos lugares, lo que se viene a mi mente es llamarlo "mi espacio cotidiano", pues para mi sigue siendo muy fácil venir aquí y pasar un buen rato caminando relajadamente mientras observo el paisaje, escucho el viento y respiro un vitalizador aire fresco...

    That’s true, and it happens a lot in my city, too. Today, the sun was beating down mercilessly, and then suddenly it rained—it’s just wild. I hope it’s much better for you to go out now; I stopped by to see if there was a new post. I hope you’re doing well. !LADY

    What an incredible place with so much green. The flowers are so colorful, and the nature is unreal. I like this photo that has a nice wild look about it.

    A beautiful place to enjoy some peace and reconnect with nature.💚

    That heatstroke sounds awful so I hope you are feeling much better now. Having the countryside just 800 meters from your doorstep sounds like the perfect cure for a stressful week.

  • @worthmind(52)· 2d

    I get this completely. I do the same thing when my head gets noisy, just walk until the thoughts quiet down. Your 'other backyard' 800 metres from the house sounds like the perfect place for that.

  • @maryjacy(69)· 2d

    This place look so beautiful, and it’s good place to relax and feel the beauty of nature, probably if there’s a shade there, one can actually relax to have a good time. All angles are look good and bright as well.

    How are doing, hope you’re getting better everyday:)

    Excellent walk and reflection; there is no better medicine than walking outdoors and connecting with our everyday spaces. I send you warm regards and best wishes for your health.
