It was a rainy day, this one, so I'm not even sure if this waterfall flows regularly. I made this image from the town of Canfranc, in the Pyrenees, very close to the border with France.

Light through the forest
in photographs
Galicia, October 2021.
I made this image yesterday during my morning bike ride. As I kept going uphill, the fog started to make way for the clear sky. There's a magical spot where the Sun can create light beams through trees, and that's what I was looking for. I found it, and it was beautiful.
Tree in the morning fog

Galicia, October 2021.
I've made dozens of images of this tree, in every possible condition. I walk by it very often, almost every day, and I just love the way it looks. Some days, though, it looks especially good. This foggy morning was one of those times.
Peak behind the clouds, Pyrenees
in photographs
Another image from my trip to the Pyrenees, this time an image made from France of a Spanish peak which name I don't remember. What I do remember, though, is the beautiful sight that early morning.
Long exposure of Lac Gentau, Lacs d'Ayous

A long exposure of Lac Gentau with the beautiful Midi d'Ossau in the background. Yet another great view from the stunning hike to Lacs d'Ayous in the french Pyrenees.
Baby horse and mom, Lacs d'Ayous
in photographs
Even though I got a few images from some majestic peaks on my hike to Lacs d'Ayous, this one of the baby horse with its mom has to be one of my favorites.
Besides the moment between the horse, this image is all about the light.
The town and the mountains, Sabiñánigo

Peña Foratata, Sallent de Gállego

The beautiful Peña Foratata, in two images. The first one, with a human touch, and the second one, just the mountain. What a beautiful place in the Pyrenees.
Torla, Aragon
in photographs
Torla, a small town in northern Aragon, is the gateway to the beautiful Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park. As I was heading back home after a long hike, I decided to stop and look for some images, those I had failed to make in the park.
I knew that, many times, adding a human touch to a landscape makes images so much more interesting. In this case, it wasn't just a "touch", but a whole church. I absolutely loved the contrast of the stone building, and the towering wall of rock that stood in the background.
The human made walls versus the walls made by Nature.
Boat, Brittany

An image from a very peaceful afternoon back in 2018, in Brittany, France.
Fence and trees, another example of why I love fog
in photographs
This is yet another example of why I love fog. I've walked by this scene dozens of times, and I never thought of making an image of it. In regular conditions, it's just too busy. But a few days ago, things were different -- the fog had removed the background, leaving me with a much simpler scene I could work with. I loved how the three posts contrast with the three trees.

Somewhere behind those clouds lays Monte Perdido (Lost Mountain), in Ordesa National Park.
Bust in the fog

Another foggy morning, another morning of photography. I especially like Sunday mornings since there's no one on the streets. That and the fog create an eerie atmosphere that I love.

An image from December 2018 I made in the Alentejo, Portugal.

A path, a house and a tree
in photographs
Galicia, October 2021.
I made this image during this morning's walk -- a beautiful foggy one. I thought I had already walked every single street and path in this town, but to my surprise I was able to find some new spots around, and even more I didn't have time to explore today.
I loved this scene -- peaceful, calm, beautiful. A little stone house, a tree, and a path.
Pic du Midi d'Ossau in the fog
in photographs
In my opinion, one of the most beautiful peaks in the Pyrenees mountains. I was lucky enough to see a couple of sunrises at the feet of this magnificient mountain, and during one of them I was gifted with some fog to make everything even better.
Lone tree, Galicia, August 2018
in photographs
I've been trying to remember where I made this image, because I want to revisit this tree --if it's still there, of course. But I can't remember exactly where I took it, so I guess I'll just have to keep searching.
Foggy night at the bridge
in photographs
Some images I made last night at the "roman bridge" (even though the locals call it roman, the bridge is actually from the medieval ages) in heavy fog.
Storks, Monforte de Lemos, February 2019
in photographs
This image was one of my first attempts at wildlife photography with my Bronica SQ-Ai. I failed.
As soon as I got close, the storks flew away and never came back. I waited with my tripod and camera ready for almost an hour. They didn't trust me and I don't blame them.
I moved on and kept making images, but decided to check on them again on my way back home, and good I did. They were back, and this time I won't let them leave without an image.
Having ran out of film, I grabbed my digital camera. That would've been my choice anyway, even if I had film. The Bronica proved too big and slow for a scene like this.
I clicked a few times, but it was with this last composition that I got what I was looking for. Inmediately after, they flew away again. This time, I didn't mind.
You can watch the whole thing on this video: "Wildlife" photography with the Bronica.
