Pico Gilbo

Riaño, March 2022.
They call it the Matterhorn of León, because of its shape. I've never been to the famous swiss mountain so I'm not sure about the accuracy of the comparison, but I can say that Gilbo is a beautiful peak.
Watch the video from Riaño, in the Picos de Europa mountains.

Photography as a way to be more present
in journal
The act of taking photos can be seen as a way to remember things we don't want to forget, or to share those moments with others. The danger is: photography can take us away from the present moment, trading the experience we are having now for one in the future.
This is a very real concern and sometimes, the best thing we can do is to put the camera away and enjoy -- this is especially true for fleeting moments that don't last long.
But photography can be used as a tool to enrich the experience. In our search for beauty, we pay more attention, we increase its meaning, and we can feel even more present than before. Many times, photography can even be what creates those meaningful moments to begin with!
It is important, then, to know when to capture the moment, and to know when to simply take it all in. And if possible, find the real magic, somewhere in between.
