    I was born in a city quite close to the Natural Park of Coark Tree Forest (in spanish named 'Parque Natural de los Alcornocales'). Allways dreaming with explore it. Many people from here donīt estimate the beauty of the place. A lot of new species of ferns and insects are found to the Science every year there.

    Some pictures from my last visit on december at last year. They are from the surroundings, the access to the true park is quite restricted.

    This is a typical forest formation named here 'Dehesa', itīs a mass of trees with many clear areas maden by local fauna as deer, wild boar and other semi-domestic cattle. That trees (Quercus suber) produce acorns whiches are the food of the famous 'Iberic Pig', they live in semi-freedom ub these forest feeding acorns and tubers... Later they will be sacrificed to make with their legs the delicious Iberic 'jamon serrano'.





    A lot of species of fungi live under the coark trees.













    Mosses grow on the all rocks and trees.





    And some littles streams flow down the rocks

    beautiful country-side you have over there. What's left in Singapore are man-made parks.

    Thank you for sharing the pictures. The pictures are beautiful. The forest looks very different from the tropical rainforest that we see here.

    A minor side note: you can try using some fill-in flash for some of the subjects in the shade. It will help to extract a little more details in your already great great looking photos.

    now i have a new food to add to my to try list when i visit spain again... 'jamon serrano'!!!

    oh and the pics, as usual, are lovely!
    reminds me of a trip i made to munchen in the season sometime before oktoberfest.
    we travelled to the osteriech border and trek up some hills.
    the wild strawberries and black current were small but packed full of flavour! yum...
    my friend's dad also picked some mushrooms and fungi for dinner.
    that was a real treat!
