Autumn Colours
The area near the refugio at the famous Basa de la Mora/Ibon de Plan lake in the mountains of Saravillo offered a splendid view of the autumn landscape. At this date and after much rain and cold nights, the colours are more subdued than a week ago, but still it is an enjoyable experience to see the variety offered up by the landscape; from palest yellow to the most vibrant red passing via many tones of orange, all set of splendidly by the dark green of the pine forest.
The sound of a bell clanging kept us company as we strolled in the area near the refugio. Must to our amusement, we later discovered a herd of sheep; the whole herd following leader sheep with bell. It's always a treat to see the animals loose in the mountains, though soon they will all be brought down for the winter months either to the villages or to lower pastures beyond Barbastro.
