I'm going there frecuently and I'm afraid because I feel it more threatened than ever, many of old trees are dying and the original forest are shrinking, forestal tracks are being improved and visitors in 4x4 vehicles are growing exponentially at same time that an increasing amount of people is buying land and building a-legally vacation houses near to the gorges [ It's supossed that is a protected area ]. At least visitors seems to be more conscious nowadays than they were 20 years ago when I landed there for first time. I've spent many weekends there this year photographying the area, and I will be a lot more in the foreseeable future, so it will be more to come. Thank you very much for the kind words, they're greatly appreciated. Saludos ----------------------------------------- http://imaginarymagnitude.net/blog/
