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.
Thank you – it was a view I’ll never forget!
I love Montserrat.
It was a marvelous place and one of my favorites too!
Indeed.
Such an amazing view…think I would also have looked at the view ahead rather than down!
I was able to see this view while standing on the sidewalk and I was so happy that I could!
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!
Nice image Meg. I imagine looking down is scary.
Thank you! I was careful about staying on the sidewalk and it definitely made me feel safer… :)

Oohhh, that looks great! I’m not afraid of heights, but I never go close to the fence. Great shot.
Thanks – I’m really glad that I was able to get this picture!

Good thought – it is fantastic!
Perfection, Meg :)
It was really amazing – thanks Jo!
I’m always amazed at how they actually built these paths! Great shot.
Thank you and that is a good point about the paths too!
Very high up there!
That’s for sure! It was a long way down… :)
Oooh, a little bit scary, but beautiful.
That is just how I felt and it was definitely worth it!
I haven’t been to Montserrat but your photo makes me want to go. Even with vertigo!
It is quite a challenge getting there but it’s such an amazing place I’d still recommend it!
That is quite a view, but I can imagine the light-headed feeling that goes with it.
You’re right Patti – I’m so happy that I was able to be there and enjoy those views!
I hope that is a walking track. I would hate to drive a car up there! Spectacular view and spectacular photograph.
It is really narrow and winding isn’t it? Thank you – it really was quite a sight!
That looks quite a climb – I guess it was worth if for the amazing views though. :)
It was a long drive to the top but I’m glad I went this one time!

Clearly a very wise place to maintain your focus both for the shot and for your safety/sanity!!!
It was a challenge to find a good observation spot and still feel safe!
What a fabulous view. One really gets a clutch in the gut peering into your frame! I appreciate that your didn’t look down too much and stayed on the walks. YIKES!!
Thanks Ruth! You are right – I was very careful and tried not to look down too much… :)
Now that’s a view! I’m not too fearful of heights, but that might have tested my mettle! :-)
I thought the view was extraordinary and at the same time I can’t believe that I really went up that mountain!
What an amazing view and stunning photograph. I love the waves of green in the background!
Thank you Elisa! There was so much to see in this scene I’m glad I was able to take a picture as a souvenir… :)
Yikes, that is HIGH! As everyone else said…the green waves are fascinating…
I liked that green background too – it adds a little peacefulness to the rest of the picture!
