Photographer’s Note
Arriondas (Les Arriondes en asturiano) es una villa asturiana, capital del concejo de Parres y de la parroquia de Cuadroveña.
A 8 kilómetros de Cangas de Onís y 65 de Oviedo está habitada por 2.575 personas (2007). Se halla en la vega formada por los ríos Sella y Piloña, que se juntan cerca de ella.
Gracias al Descenso Internacional del Sella la actividad turística en la villa ha crecido notablemente en los últimos años. Así, el turismo activo ha proliferado y son numerosas las empresas dedicadas a organizar descensos en kayak, piragua, etc. por el río Sella. En este río también se pesca salmón durante la temporada veraniega. No en vano, Arriondas es considerada la capital salmonera de España.
El Descenso Internacional del Sella se celebra el primer sábado de agosto posterior al día 2 de dicho mes entre Arriondas y Ribadesella (Principado de Asturias - España), con un recorrido de 20 km a lo largo del río Sella.

Ayer mostré una imagen de Ribadesella, donde termina el descenso del río Sella, hoy os muestro el lugar donde comienza, Arriondas. Pude tener un ángulo mejor, pero está tomada desde el coche en marcha (no se puede parar en todos los lugares...)

Arriondas (Les Arriondas in Asturian) is a village in Asturias, the capital of Parres council and the parish of Cuadroveña.
At 8 km from Cangas de Onís Oviedo and 65 is inhabited by 2575 people (2007). It lies in the valley formed by the rivers Sella and Piloña, who come together around it.
Thanks to the Sella Descent International tourism in the village has grown dramatically in recent years. Thus, tourism has flourished and many companies organize descents by kayak, canoe, etc.. by the River Sella. In this river is during the salmon fishing season in summer. Not surprisingly, Arriondas salmon is considered the capital of Spain.
The International Descent of the Sella is held the first Saturday in August following the day of the month between 2 and Arriondas Ribadesella (Asturias - Spain), with a distance of 20 km along the River Sella.

Hola Charo!
Une autre belle photo et excellente composition. La rangée de maisons qui longent le ruisseau est magnifique surmonté par la montagne. J'aime bien le pont qui traverse le ruisseau et les kayaks qui ajoute de la couleurs à la photo. Bien pensé d'inclure les arbustes en avant-plan.
Tous mes compliment,
Amicalement,
Emilius

Hi Charo,
Beautiful village seen perched on the banks of the lovely river.
The wonderful green hillside stands out brilliantly against this vivid blue sky.
Looks like a great spot to take out the kayak on and then maybe a hike on those lovely hills.
Regards, Tom

Hallo charo. Um es vorweg zu sagen, die HP 717 ist eine prima Kamera. Du hast die kleine Ortschaft in bester Manier photographiert. Komposition, Licht und Farben, POV usw. sind bestens. Vorzüglich ist auch der gekonnte Text. Viele Grüße, Wolfgang.

Hi Charo
It looks warm and inviting. A good composition considering it was shot from a moving vehicle.

hi Charo
I like this scenery of the bright rendition of river, houses and bridge in front of a hill and making a fine view. Naturally when you see a blue sky of this tone, you will not want to miss a shot. It is postcard quality!
Not sure if my eyes is sleepy or I sense a tilt in level because I see the houses are slanting. But when you are in a moving car and need the snap very quickly, there is no time to miss by thinking of level :))
