Two photos this week, of the necropolises (necropolii?) at Revenga and Cuyacabras, Spain.
P was disappointed that they’re only 1,000 years old, which speaks to the differing expectations of a Spaniard and a Canadian (my nation of birth is officially just over a tenth that old).
It only occurred to me afterward that we should have laid Seve down beside them for scale, since about half were smaller than he was at the time, not even six months old.
Beyond the obvious “beyond this world” connotation, second image shows, in the distance, a peak still snow-capped even in April. I want to say that it’s Tres Provincias — La Rioja, and Soria and Burgos in Castilla y León — but I trust neither my memory nor my sense of geography. Besides, what locals call key features of the mountain range often differs considerably from what you’ll find on a map, Google or otherwise.
What (I’m afraid to ask) did they bury in those?
Humans. Very small ones, apparently.
looks eerie.
We were there on a bright and sunny spring day and it wasn’t at all creepy. On a foggy November day? I imagine that’s a totally different experience!
These photos I think were creepy. haha I mean look at the shapes of those concaves..
Interesting photos though. 
Thanks — even though I’d had it described to me, it was still strange to see …
It is a remarkable place… I can only imagine.
Very strange — glad I got to see it in person, though!
Fabulous shots, Jeni. Creepy too!
Thank you!
Very interesting place.
It is — I’d love to go back.
I love your take on the theme
Thanks!
Really interesting shots Jeni! Completely different from any of the other pics I saw during the course of this week’s challenge. Fits the “beyond” category completely.
Thank you — I’d actually forgotten about this photos but they seemed a good fit when I saw them again.
Very interesting – beyond, for sure. And thanks for visiting my blog -
Thanks, you too!
I’ve never seen anything like this. Quite interesting, and I do love the mountains beyond. Great selection for the challenge.
Thanks !
I’ve never see anything like this before.
I hadn’t, either. Really neat to see in person, though.
