When I was in Barcelona I took a day trip to Montserrat. It was quite an adventure going up the mountain and there were a lot of visitors. I was careful to stay on the sidewalks and not look down too much but I really admired this view.
Here are more pictures for this week’s theme.

Great shot! I like how the path peeks in and out of the hills and you get a sense of how steep it really is by the valley next to it.

Nash over and out. Not a big fan of going up into the mountains so I probably would have just said what I just said about that one. But it sure looks beautiful.

I can understand that but it was worth it!
