Ibón d' Estanés

Early this morning there was a thunderstorm. Thunder, lightning, rain and hail. We weren't sure if we'd be able to go ahead with our outing to the mountains, but it was fine, though a bit cloudy. We had a pleasant walk, not too hot most of the time, and a bit windy on the top.
From the car park at Sansanet, it´s about 90 minutes' walk up a steep path to the mountain lake. After we'd been walking for a few minutes, we passed some young men, one of whom was carrying his music with him and sharing it with the other walkers. It made me cross; not really the place for that.
Anyway, with lots of stops to get my breath back we made it to the lake.

Although we started our walk in France, the lake is in Spain.

This is a Carline thistle.
