Photographer’s Note
After my last post of an ancient photo, today I return to the 21st century and present this photo of the small village of Pal in the Principality of Andorra, where it is possible to see the interesting, simple and solid traditional mountain architecture, in these houses constructed with stone, wood and slate roofs, with the beautiful autumns colours.
Its integration in the landscape is perfect, its tones fuse with a lot of harmony.
If the quality of image is not high enough, it is due to the compression to publish, and because of the quantity of elements that form the photo, especially this magnificent tree.
In WS a more opened plane of the village.
I hope that you like.

Después de mi último post de una foto antigua, hoy vuelvo al siglo XXI y presento esta foto del pequeño pueblo de Pal en el Principado de Andorra, donde se puede ver la interesante, sencilla y sólida arquitectura tradicional de montaña, en estas casas construidas con piedra, madera y tejados de pizarra, con los bellos colores del otoño.
Su integración en el paisaje es perfecta, sus tonos se fusionan con mucha armonía.
Si la calidad de imagen no es suficientemente alta es debido a la compresión para publicar, y por causa de la cantidad de elementos que forman la foto, sobre todo este magnífico árbol.
En WS un plano más abierto del pueblo.
Espero que os guste.

Salut Josep,
Je préfère le WS même si le ciel pourrait être un peu recoupé. Ici l'image est bien nette mais par manque de recul le beau bouleau a dû être amputé de sa pointe.
Bonsoir

Josep,
J'aime bein ce POV en contre plongée qui fait ressortir les dimensions de la montagne.
La netteté des maisons, avec de nombreux détails à observer, est vraiment sympa elle aussi.
Bonne soirée,
JB.

Hola Jose:
Tu ya nos tienes acostumbrados con este tipo de fotografías. Escenarios luminosos, llenos de vida, de contrastes y de detalles.
El punto de vista utilizado, llena de majestuosidad la perspectiva, dado que lo tomas de abajo hacia arriba. Gran equilibrio y bellas tonalidades, especialmente en las casas.

Hola mi amigo Josep,
Your very good captured frame from village of Pal shows its a very quite place for to live there. I like their authentic layout and construction style. Using stone as a building material is creates splendid facades and views in your captures. Your workshop post is showing this beautiful place to us widely. Both of them are great shots.
Friendly Regards,
Ertugrul

Olá Josep.
Vejo que voltaste a caminhar pelas belas paisagens de Andorra e as suas belas aldeias.
Esta foto e a do WS são ambas válidas para um post principal embora de caracteristicas diferentes.
Esta é muito boa pelos detalhes das casinhas tipicas que podemos apreciar e pela forma como podemos apreciar a imagem de baixo para cima, tendo a sensação de estar a subir a colina, enquanto que a outra é uma panoramica mais geral mas que tambem tem detalhes bem interessantes.
Um abraço.
Paulo

Josep,
A paisagem é magnífica e a fotografia foi muito bem tomada para mostrá-la. A profundidade, com a inclusão da pequena árvore à direta, ficou muito boa.
Abraço

Bonsoir, mon bon ami Josep,
J'aime beaucoup cette décomposition entre ciel et terre. Le ciel d'un bleu pur, la montagne aride, la montagne qui s'enrichit de végétations et puis les maisons qui s'accrochent joliment aux flancs de la montagne. En plus, il existe ce merveilleux peuplier sur la droite qui embellit l'ensemble.
Merci, Josep, également pour la vue générale (cela permet de mieux se rendre compte de l'environnement), la photo est très réussie.
Amitiés.

Hola fera.
Una maca foto si senyor 100% muntanyenca. M'agrada però aquesta molt més que el WS on costa una mica de trobar el poble (potser estic adormit....tot sia dit) però bé, en qualsevol cas, una altre foto maca del país veí i amic.
Apaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

É muito interessante ver como estas aldeias ainda preservam a sua identidade. Em portugal há também algumas que têm sido palco de renovações incríveis. Gosto muito destas casas feitas de pedra e lousa. E gosto também da bonita fotos que nos mostras.

Hi Josep,
The stone structures are very interesting and seem to be frozen in time.What a beautiful place to live on the mountainside and from your workshop i can see that the views are breathtaking.Very nicely composed with the view up the mountainside and placement of the tree.Take care and TFS.

Hola Josep!
M'agrada l'aire que li has donat a la foto amb l'arbre al marge dret i la diagonal que formen les teulades, casa i muntanya. Els colors tradicionals del pirineu i les formes em transmeten l'energia que aquestes fotos desprenen. Posats a triar, personalment m'agrada més el WS, més obert i paissatgístic.
Salut! Jordi

Hi Josep
Great to see your work again. Love the rich colours here and the superb light. The elevated position of the buildings offer a great hillside landscape. Lovely work.

Hi Josep!
Your Andorra images make me wish to visit this small but nice and very photogenic country.
Good composition with the tree at the side and the few houses at the steep mountan.

Hi Josep,
I like this image looking upwards on this hillside location. The tall green tree is very well placed in the image and sort of offset by the smaller tree on the far left on a diagonal. Nice idea and excellent shot. TFS. Gerald

This is a lovely little viallge! So beautiful! I like these colours very well saturated and this great POV. Nice to include the tree, it gives a good contrast.

Hola Josep:
Des de les copes del Trade Center que no t'he pogut comentar cap treball. Quant no es per naps és per cols, ara he estat vuit dies sense ordinador, doncs malgrat tenir el Panda, se'm havia infectat fins i tot ficant-se un intrús que m’anava tocant el voraviu fins l'extrem de haver-lo de configurar de nou.
Perdona que sigui breu comentant la teva preciosa foto de Pal, presa desde un perspectiva de cara a munt que fa que prengui volum. Els dos arbres groguencs amb diagonal, el del primer terme i el del fondo, marquen una distancia que dona proporcions a la imatge. Molt be com sempre company.
Una abraçada i penso que fins més aviat jejeje.
Salut!
Josep

Good evening for you

Hola Josep
Very effective low POV with the 'jigsaw' of the roofs, leading up to the slope of the hill. The details you've got, especially on the stones of the houses is excellent. Beautiful contrast with the spotless blue sky. Nice work my friend!
Best Regards

Hola Josep, fantastic framing with that shinning tree at right. It looks like a lady taking care of this ancient architecture. Lovely place to live or at least spend some quiet days away from the stressful city. Nice general view in WS, but this tree is a real wonder.
Un abrazo,

Hola Josep.
Antes que todo quiero decirte que he estado muy ocupado ultimamente, pase tres dias en Puerto Plata en la region norte del pais no de paseo por cuestiones de trabajo.
Veo que has vuelto a tus fotos recientes la cual la encuentro magnifica, tienen muy buena composicion y los colores y POV estan estupendos. Precioso paisaje. Esta es mucho mejor que tu WS.
Un fuerte abrazo tu amigo.

Bonsoir Josep,
Joli contre plongée sur petit hameau où la lumière bien présente donne des couleurs naturelles très agréables. Le paysage montagneux, que l'on peut mieux apprécier sur ta photo bonus, est superbe. L'arbre sur la droite complète bien l'image. Une belle région à découvrir, merci Josep.
Avec toutes mes amitiés et un très bon WE,

Hello Josep,
This is a fine picturesque scenery, showing the houses clinging to the steep hillside!
The fine light renders good details in the ancient architecture, and I like the point of view and inclusion og the tree in composition!

Bonjour, Josep.
Belle image si typique de cet endroit magnifique. C'est vrai que l'architecture de ces maisons rend leur integration dans le paysage remarquable. Les materiaux de construction sont d'ailleurs parfaitement choisis pour cela. Pierre apparente, toits d'ardoise, bois aux teintes chaudes, tout cela est parfaitement rendu sur ton image.
Merci du partage!

Josep bonjour.
C'est une belle composition en diagonale avec, à la base les chalets traditionnels sous une belle lumière qui leur donne du relief. Les deux arbres dorés semblent se répondre d'un côté à l'autre de la photo.
Amicalement,
Jacques
