Postcard from Cadiz Photo

Photographer’s Note

Cadiz is a very unique town. I cannot really explain it but before arriving there, when I saw somebody's shot of Cadiz cathedral in TE, I knew it will be different. It starts with this yellow dome cathedral (1635) which is not similar to anything I know. But the most intriguing is the location of the town on a sharp tiny tip of a peninsula. Yet the small space does not disturb this town to encompass in its borders fantastic beaches, plenty of atmospheric narrow streets, or couple of picturesque squares. And the historians say it may be even the oldest town in Europe. What is very interesting for a photographer: there is a fantastic view from one of the cathedral's towers, from which you can see sea in three directions. You just have to go there and see it by yourself.

Hello Mariusz,
I also enjoyed my visit of Cadiz very much. It's a wonderful city.
This picture has a good composition and lots of beautiful colours. The cathedral is prensented very well.
I have a similar picture (not on TE) with ten or more cats on these rocks on the foreground.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Mariusz,
Very informative note that makes me want to visit this historic and picturesque spot. The architecture is so fantastic, with the yellow domed cathedral surrounded by simple colourful blocks. I like that you have included the water and rocks in the foreground because it adds another dimension to this shot.
Thanks for sharing!

Serwus!
I to jest slynny Kadyks! Cos takiego. Myslalam, ze to miasto z bajek i z piosenek, a okazuje sie, ze istnieje naprawde. Zartuje. Fajowska fotencja.
Siema!

Hi,
you're right. Cádiz is absolutely unique town and probably the oldest continuously-inhabited city in the Iberian Peninsula.
In the time of Spanish Empire the government transfered to this port monopolizing trade with Spanish America. Cadiz has been a principal home port of the Spanish Armada.

Therefore you have seen so good architecture and landmark buildings today!!!

Historically Cádiz was a relevant cetre for very successful Irish merchant community. Nowadays Cádiz a principal port for exporation of Sherry and Andalusian Brandy.

You capture is perfect!
Great perspective with amazing colours!
Well done!

Siemasz Mariusz,
Noooooo... w końcu nie skały, klify, i wiatr... Zupełnie inny klimat, wprowadzający nas powoli we właściwy nastrój...
Piękne delikatne i pastelowe kolory.
Ech... Na Południe! Na Południe!
Pozdrawiam!
