Sickles of the river Duratón.

The North zone of Segovia, next to Sepulveda, is a big flatness, arid and very deserted, if we penetrate for these grounds we will observe with puzzlement as they are marked by a deep rut created by the river Duraton.

The river Duraton winds in big meanders of almost 360th grades, and has excavated to his step a deep ravine of vertical walls that writhes on if same in multiple returns. The cliffs of this ravine serve as shelter to a nourished colony of vultures that delight us with his elegant flight.

The fund of the ravine, under protection of his shade and the waters that it cover this one populated with a leafy forest of senile sheet that contrasts with the dryness of the exterior flatness. In autumn, the fund of the Sickles is an explosion of color that contrasts with the severity of the exterior scenery to the ravine.

Two WS with different sights local.

Ola Ros,
Grazie per averci fatto scoprire questa preziosa perla nascosta nel centro della spagna.
Questa foto mi ricorda l'horseshoe bend in Arizona, un altro posto che ho scoperto grazie a TE.

Excellent POV that show both sides of this dramatic bend in the river. The green water contrast beautifully with the red sandstone. Great depth achieved from this prespective.

Hola Ros,

estupenda vista e bela sequencia de registros dessa beleza! Definitivamente um bela Canyon de águas esverdeadas. Gosto muito dessa perspectiva e das cores naturais, mas não por isso, menos belas. Parabéns!!!
Saludos,
Carlos

Hola Ros,

Hola Ros.
Bella imagen de paisaje con unos colores bonitos y nitidez.
Buen angulo de la toma.
un saludo.

Hola Ros:

Bonitas fotos de este rio Duratón que por lo que se ve es bastante caudaloso y por las orillas se deduce que hay veces que ha superado mucho su cadual,¿O es que es la cola de un pantano? Me sorprende ver la profundidad y caual que puede haber alcanzado. Por otra parte por lo agreste y lo yermo de los llanos superiores parece el Gran Cañon del Colorado.
'' Si es que en España tenemos de to!!

Bueno, las fotos muy bien hechas un trabajo muy bueno.

Un beso

Josep

Hi Ros,
A powerful shot, taken from a superb POV. The meandering river is perfectly captured here, and I love the hues and tones of the water and the way they blend with the surrounding beige and green hues of the land masses. The clarity of detail is outstanding and you managed the strong light well with this exposure. Very impressive. Thanks for the interesting note.
John

Hi Ros,
Fascinating country, I like the romantic atmosphere and the fantastic POV. Colours are beautiful, excellent image, Congratulations. Have a nice evening
George

Hola Ros,
that is very pleasant. This rock with the river around is a very good composition and the POV is excellent to see that. Good colours and contrasts, the workjshops are a good addition.

Hola Ros!
Magnifique rivière qui coule en zigzag avec de superbes rochers qui la bordent. Bonne composition. Je trouve qu'il manque un tout petit peu de contraste mais ça reste une belle photo.
Bravo!... et bonne semaine,
Emilius

Fotografia bem tomada desse incrível lugar. A superfície irregular e as cores estão muito bonitas. Beleza de trabalho.

Hola Ros!
Magnifico panoramade estas colinas deserticas!
Pero, el vierde de los arboles y del rìo contrastan bien con elrojo de los acantilados.
Composiciòn optima con la forma del meandro!
Me gustan tanto los dos WS.
Un abrazo!
Marie Louise.

Ros,
looking at your different images of this place I have to agree absolutely with you that the main post is certainly the right choice as the prime presentation. Very nice framing with the water on both side of the bend. Colors quite typical for some desert like place. and good match between the green of the water and the scarce vegetation on the ravine.
Regards, Peter

Hello Ros,
I like the wonderful light all over the scene. I like those plants/trees on top of the hill...I saw the same ones in Toledo when I went there; it gives an arid feeling to the landscape...

I wish you had a wider angle lens on this one to be able to cover the whole river turn. I also think the focus is a bit soft, maybe it could use some sharpening.

Good evening!

Marc

hello Ros, that's very interesting place. it remainds me of Grand Canion in USA -- with similar meander of the river and similar ground colours. I see, that you manage very nice light, and LIGHT is everything! :)
