[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [Spanish]
Segovia is a Spanish city in the southern part of the autonomous region of Castile and León, capital of the province of the same name. It is located in the confluence of the rivers Eresma and Clamors on the foot of the saw of Guadarrama.

The cathedral of Segovia, call the " Lady of the Cathedrals " was constructed between 1525 and 1577, to replace the Romanesque temple semidestroyed in the wars of the communities.

Therefore it is, along with the new cathedral of Salamanca, the most late sample of the Gothic of the Spanish architecture.

It was planned by Juan Gil de Hontañón as temple of three ships, with side chapels, cruise and semicircular head with girola, surrounded with radial chapels.

The Gothic cloister is of 1470 and it is the one that was attached to the ancient Romanesque cathedral. Stone was moved to stone to his new emplacement. His arches are beautiful with tracerías drags.

Hola Ros,
Bonita toma de la catedral de Segovia. Buen punto de vista, marco y luz. La única pega que le veo es que el cielo sea excesivamente claro en determinadas zonas, pero aún así me gusta el contraste con las nubes grises.
Buen trabajo!

Hola Ros,
the excellent contrast in that grey weather is really creating a 3D impressuion, the cathedral is excellent sepereated against the sky. Very lovely architecture and a typical winter capture without the leaves. In summer might be also interesting as the trees are not so high.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hello Ros,
Impressive and quite original architecture. I've never been to Spain unfortunately, and these photos tell me that I must soon. Nice composition, too. Regards,
Hakan

Buenas noches Ros,
Bonita imagen sobre bonita y complicada arquitectura religiosa. El color sobrio es muy agradable. Me gusta ver a la gente vivir sobre el lugar al pie del edificio. Bonita fotografía, bravo.
Buenas noches

Hola Ros,

esta catedral realmente fica evidenciada em sua imagem. Sua arquitetura esplendorosa e de tons quentes contrasta belamente com frio que deveria estar fazendo. As pessoas e as árvores secas realçam essa idéia. Bela captura, de tons naturais e de eficiente nitidez. Bonita imagem!
Saludos,
Carlos

Hola Ros,

Hola Ros:

Saludos.

Hola Ros:

Una toma muy buena de esta famosa catedral con una definición y uin POV (No me gusta decirlo asi, prefiero con todas las letras "punto de vista")

La gente que polula por la plaza le da un calor especial a la foto, me gusta así le da más espontaneidad a las fotos.

Buen trabajo y buenas y documentadas explicaciones, eres una crack.

Un abrazo

Josep

Explendida toma de una Catedral preciosa.

Bella composizione con colori non troppo vivi che si adattano allo scatto invernale.
Ottima profondità con la cattedrale che sembra quasi tridimensionale.
Non mi piace molto il venditore di giornali ma non credo che tu potessi farlo spostare ;-)
Ottimo scatto!

Ciao
Andrea
