Fantastic picture, IanH!
I'm intrigued. The picture is clearly taken in the cork oaks - see the leaves as well as the various pieces of bark. However, google maps, using the lat - long from your camera, places it in the Himalayan cedars. I'm guessing this is just the 'error' in the satellite information, though it is rather bigger than we usually get these days.

Thanks Roger. This certainly was in the cork grove, pretty well dead centre or near enough. It would seem the gps in my phone was not having a good day.
