Rockslider, your picture has a ufo in the sky, at least to my eye. I tried zoom in and resolution is not there. Swing?

In aid climbing terms ... it's a "pig". I'm sitting at the anchor at the beginning of the pitch waiting for two climbers ahead of me to finish the pitch before I start ... they are "hauling" their gear in that picture, hence you are seeing their pig.

Rockslider, thank you , that becomes clear. I show myself to be a person only familiar, first hand, with scramble type climbing.

I thought you might like the Rivera one.

This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

Re: Garden of Earthly Delights
I loved the Rivera. I got to see most of his murals when I was in Mexico City once. This was a long, long time ago when Dream of a Sunday Afternoon in Alameda Park was still in the Hotel del Prado (the hotel was torn down after the earthquake in 85).

You are converting me to a lover of landscapes. I thought I'd never convert!
