The High Tormo Photo

Photographer’s Note

La Ciudad Encantada es un paraje natural de formaciones rocosas calcáreas o calizas formadas a lo largo de miles de años, situado en Valdecabras, en el término municipal de Cuenca (Cuenca, España), en una amplia zona de pinares y a una altitud de 1.500 metros.

Fue declarada Sitio Natural de Interés Nacional el 11 de junio de 1929.
La acción del agua, el viento y el hielo ha hecho posible este fenómeno kárstico. La heterogeneidad de las rocas en cuanto a su morfología, composición química y grado de dureza es lo que ha permitido el desgaste desigual de las mismas por los elementos atmosféricos, dando como resultado una muestra sorprendente de arte pintoresco proveniente de la misma naturaleza.

El Tormo Alto. Monolito de 20 metros, milagro o juego de equilibrio, emblema de la Ciudad.

Dos WS.

Hola Charo,
io ne ho viste di foto con soggetti particolari, soprattutto nei Canyon, ma qui...
Nooooo! Non hai avuto paura che ti arrivasse in testa?
Ahahahahahahah!

Non possiamo rischiare di perdere una brava fotografa come te! Ahahahah!

Davvero molto particolare.
Ottimi la luce e lo sharp, come sempre!

Hola, amiga Charo,
en mi foto de este fantástico monolito está Pili a su lado, para dar la escala, y lo recuerdo perfectamente, aunque era en Septiembre y evidentemente, no había este manto de nieve que resulta tan fotogénico en combinación con estas caprichosas formas de roca caliza erosionada.
Me gusta cómo se ve y cómo has conseguido una buena luz y un buen nivel de colores, algo siempre difícil en fotografías de paisajes nevados.
Los Hongos en uno de los WS también los recuerdo, son impresionantes.
Un abrazo para los dos,
Pili y Josep

No es usual ver El Torno nevado, es original en ese sentido.

Un saludo.

Charo, this is an awesome stone, and the snow makes it magical, color and detail are super and the trees scale it wonderfully. Great capture.

Bonjour Charo,
Je n'ai jamais vu un tel équilibre "instable" naturel. Je ne voudrais pas rester trop longtemps près de ce rocher. C'est une photo spectaculaire, bien construite et réalisée. Bravo.
Bonne journée

Hola Charo!
Uma formação rochosa muito interessante e bela!
O formato vertical ajudou bastante sua composição que também é simples, mas muito eficaz para tornar o local ainda mais belo, com as árvores e a neve bem posicionadas na imagem! Gostei bastante!
Parabéns, abraços e até logo!

Hello Charo,
It's fantastic, and incredible at the same time.
This monolith is a splendid creation of nature and a very miracle game balance, and you did a magnificent work to swow us in this way... Very well done!
Best regards
Giorgio

papagolf21 (56765) 2009-03-26 15:38

Bonsoir, ma bonne amie Charo,
Je suis sous le charme devant ces champignons de pierre. Déjà hier j'étais étonné par ses falaises, ses cathédrales de pierre, mais là, je ne sais plus quoi exprimer.
Comment te remercier pour ces précieuses images qui apprennent chaque fois davantage sur les curiosités de Dame Nature.
Félicitations.
Bravo également pour ton excellent français (chapeau bas, révérence) !
Amitiés.
Philippe

Clementi (45285) 2009-03-26 16:08

ciao Charo,
semplicemente stupenda, questa roccia gigante che sembra cadere da un momento all'altro.
ottimo lavoro
Giorgio

Hola Charo

What a strangely shaped rock! The snow adds good graphism, & vaguely resembles an old persons hair. Good sharpness & well composed. Bravo!

bakes888 (18353) 2009-03-27 0:42

Hi Charo. Amazing rock!! The comparison with the trees makes it even more startling. Nice capture with good colours and detail. Thanks for sharing.
Have a good weekend, Paul.
Thanks for the WS also.

gildasjan (24149) 2009-03-27 1:24

Bonjour Charo
On se demande bien comment ce rocher tient debout.C'est bien vu de l'avoir photographié sous cette lumière et ce bleu ciel.
Bonne journée
Amicalement

pablominto (41398) 2009-03-27 1:27

Hei Charo,

Naturen har mange luner, men dette er et av de merkeligste jeg har sett!
Jeg tror jeg ville være veldig forsiktig når jeg nærmer meg denne, hahaha...
En fin komposisjon med et interessant fenomen!

Hilsen,
Pablo -

Juntas (3574) 2009-03-27 4:04

Olá Charo. As maravilhas que a natureza faz... O pov baixo ainda lhe dá mais sensação de grandeza. Cores boas e definição. Bom enquadramento. Belo trabalho. Um abraço. Paulo

Dyerco (9310) 2009-03-27 5:32

Hi Charo
What an unusual place. While we have hoodoos here these are quite different. I guess it's only a matter of time before they topple. Nicely composed with the trees for scale.

Hola Charo!

Muy bonita toma del monolito en día espectacular por lo que veo después de una gran nevada. El cielo es muy bonito y es una imagen poco vista de la ciudad encantada que si cabe con la nieve tiene mas encanto, enhorabuena!
Saludos
Alberto
