Relaxing way Photo

Photographer’s Note

This one is the fifth photo of my small series on the Camí Real, that in this section already is located in the parish of Andorra la Vella, and changes its name to become “ Rec of the Solà ”.
The Rec of the Solà is a magnificent illuminated stroll, with a level layout and passable pavement for all. He is very pleasant to go one night of summer. During the route we can observe the orchards and the urban and mountainous landscape.
This irrigation ditch was constructed in 1880 to give to water to the orchards of the solarium of Andorra la Vella. More recently (since 1990) it is made passable like zone of stroll. The way is equipped of banks and a picnicking place, and all it is a fabulous viewpoint of Andorra Vella and Escaldes-Engordany.
Its unevenness is inappreciable, the time of route is of 1 h. 30’, and does not have difficulty.

In the photo one can see the trees with their flowers of spring, the zone of the orchards and the deep view towards the south, watching at Spain.

Photo taken with monopod.

---------------------------

Ésta es la quinta foto de mi pequeña serie sobre el Camí Real, que en este tramo ya está situado en la parroquia de Andorra la Vella, y cambia su nombre para convertirse en el “Rec del Solà”.
El Rec del Solà es un magnífico paseo iluminado, con un trazado llano y empedrado transitable para todos. Es muy agradable ir una noche de verano. Durante el recorrido podemos observar los huertos y el paisaje urbano y montañoso.
Esta reguera se construyó en 1880 para dar agua a los huertos de la solana de Andorra la Vella. Más recientemente (hacia 1990) se hace transitable como zona de paseo. El camino está equipado de bancos y de un merendero, y todo él es un fabuloso mirador de Andorra la Vella y Escaldes-Engordany.
Su desnivel es inapreciable, el tiempo de recorrido es de 1 h. 30’, y no tiene dificultad.

En la foto se pueden ver los árboles con sus flores de primavera, la zona de los huertos y la profunda vista hacia el sur, mirando a España.

Foto tomada con monópode.

Hola Josep
Otra estupenda toma de eso lugar tan bello. Simplemente yo adoré the árbol con su color rosado en la izquierda como se quisiera mantener siempre nuestra mirada para ella. El punto de vista elejido está espetacular añadido por los bellos colores y contrastes, y también, por las sombras muy claras de la cerca. Bello trabajo. Saludos cordiales, Consuelo

Bonjour Josep,
un clin d'oeil au printemps dans ce beau paysage d'Andorre.
Les personnnages sont un peu trop poussés à droite j'aurais cadré un rien plus à gauche.
J'aime les belles couleurs très franches.
Bien à toi.
Daniel.

Hola Josep,
bonic senser el que ens proposes avui, tot rodejat de natura, vida i excel.lents colors. És l'esclat de la natura! Però allò que més em fascina de l'imatge , és la llum, té una lluminositat fantàstica que dóna vitalitat a la magnífica composició. La profunditat de camp i el POV són molt bons!

Bon cap de setmana,

Jordi

zeca (20026) 2008-05-09 11:08

Hello Josep,
I notice the nice walkway along the hillside, providing some great views of mountains and the valley below!
A pleasant composition, where the tree in blossom is a natural eye-catcher...
A well balanced composition, good colour palette and a fine sense of depth!
Greetings,

Hola Josep:

Tiempo sin visitar tu galería, pero ya estoy de vuelta.

La profundidad de campo de tu foto, recoge una serie de detalles con gran colorido.
La composición y los elementos naturales, guardan una gran relación con el cerco del camino, que si bien nos conduce fuera de la toma, deja ver un sendero lleno de calidad y sencilles.

Excelente trabajo, como todos los tuyos.

parbo (10970) 2008-05-10 9:52

Hola mi amigo Josep,

Your series is continues with another beautiful photo. Walking path in the middle of nature inviting there with its beautiful colors and sights. Especially pink blossomed tree is very attractive in green and blue. Walking path is creating a natural depth. Very good clarity and sharpness, congratulations.

Cordialmente

PS. Sorry for my late visit, I was on assignment.

feather (49860) 2008-05-10 13:32

It looks to be a very pleasant place to walk. It even provides a man-made path to walk on as well as to use as your lead-in on the images.:) The pink blossom is very pretty and the diagonals of the mountain slopes make the perfect background. Good work

Bonsoir,
belle photo de cette promenade avec son petit chemin pavé qui nous enmène au loin pour admirrer ces différentes essences d' arbres,qui rivalise de beauté entre eux et vous avez su très bien nous le montrer.
Il nous permet aussi de bien voir montagnes, rochers, ciel, et certainement rivière qui coule au fond de ces vallées.
Merci du partage.

Amitiés Thomas

atus (15452) 2008-05-10 14:49

Hello Josep,
nicely captured shot of good perspective and sense of depth with the promenade and the people standing on it. The light is very well managed and the flower blossomed tree adds contrast and more beauty.
Very well done, my friend! Tfs and best wishes.

Hola Josep,
It looks to be a great place to walk and spend some time outdoor. At least the view is very pleasant and the spring colors add a special touch. Great composition indeed having the path on the corner and opening for this amazing valley.
Saludos

Hola Josep
The pink blossom on the left is very pretty along the path & the wooden fencing. Draws my eye straight away! The valley in the deep, the opposing diagonals & the blue sky also makes this shot very attractive. Nice work my friend!

Bonsoir Josep,

Une saturation des couleurs bien gérée ici. La promenage sur ce chemin empierré doit être très agréable et doit offrir de jolis point de vue. L'arbre en fleur apporte un belle touche de couleur dans la composition. La rambarde donne un bel effet de profondeur. Jolie photo, merci Josep.

Avec toutes mes amitiés et un très bon WE,

Jean-Charles

Didi (36084) 2008-05-18 0:33

Bonjour mon cher Josep
Quel bonheur d'habiter à proximité de cette région.
Le printemps marque sa présence par la floraison du prunus.
Bien que le pola fasse chuter la vitesse de -1Ev je suis fort étonné par la vitesse lente par cette belle luminosité.
Mais ce n'est qu'un petit détail qui n'enlève rien aux belles couleurs printanières.
Amitiés.

worldcitizen (2257) 2008-05-25 13:20

Hola Josep,
This is such a relaxing and beautiful view. This spot has all the perfect elements for a wonderful spot to walk: beautiful color, greenery, mountains, and the trail itself. I like the stones on the ground and the wooden fences. It would be great to take a walk there right now!!
