Views to the west.

One of the reasons we live here in the village of Torre del Compte is for the fantastic views, we love them. Although we have views in all directions our favourite is to the west, across the valley of the Matarraña river, towards the village of La Fresneda.

The view of La Fresneda which we usually see is the one above which I took this morning. On top of the hill in the left hand half of the picture is the village ermita. The highest point to the right is the old castle which has the church immediately in front of it. All three buildings are lit at night so we have the view around the clock.


However, the view constantly changes. A few mornings ago I took the photo above as the early morning mists slowly cleared from the valley.


Later, the same morning when the mists had cleared, we were presented with a different scene.

Yesterday evening, we had a terrific sunset. The sun now has moved from far to the right, where it sets in the summer, to the left of the ermita and it has another 5 weeks to make it's way slightly further to the left before it starts on it's way back.

Here's another sunset I photographed on the 4th November 2006.

And just in case you were wondering what Torre del Compte looks like from the direction of La Fresneda, here it is above.
