The Serra de Tramuntana is a mountain range running southwest-northeast which forms the northern backbone of the Spanish island of Majorca. It is also the name given to the comarca of the same area. The Tramuntana Range was awarded World Heritage Status by UNESCO 2011. I took this on an historic train ride through the Serra.

I recently bought some cheap studio flashes, soft boxes and backgrounds. Here is one of the shots of my first "trial and error" session. The model is my friend Yoli, who benevolently bared with me, while I was playing around with the equipment...

My lord, the fleet has moved out of lightspeed. Com-Scan has detected an energy field strong enough to deflect any bombardment...

Our gates were strong, our walls were thick,
So smooth and high, no man could win.
A foothold there, no clever trick
Could take us, have us dead or quick.
Only a bird could have got in.
