About to rain.
Juniperus oxycedrus subsp. macrocarpa (Cupresaceae), with a cataloguing of "almost extinct" in the Andalusian Flora, abounds in this "rare" landscape. It is interesting to note that this particular coast moved backwards as an effect of a tsunami caused by the big Lisbon earthquake of 1755. At this time, the early second half of XVIII c., the successive presence in the area of notorious naturalists and botanists such as the swedish Pehr Löfling, Clas Alströmer, Pehr Osbeck and Féderic Logié - all of them disciples of Carl Linnaeus doing time here before embarking for the Americas from Cadiz-, as well as the dedication of Spanish colleagues, was making great contributions to the knowledge of coastal flora and vegetation. La Barrosa beach takes its old name from the plant named barrón in Spanish -Ammophila arenaria-, pictured in the first image of this series, as a welcome/remembrance sign for newcomers.
Dune vegetation, La Barrosa Beach, Chiclana (Cadiz). April. 8/8. Please be aware and protect coastal flora :)
