Photographer’s Note

This is the same sculpture I uploaded yesterday, seen from the back. It's in the corner of a pedestrian square, very close to a staircase, some restaurants and a few trees. I've never got the shooting angle I'd like to... For an idea of the size, that hand is over one meter high. Francisco Leiro, the sculptor, has two more works in my city, both of them controversial for their (lack of) beauty.
This post is an homage to David Meca, a Spanish swimmer who is entirely devoted to very demanding challenges. His latest one was to cross the Strait of Gibraltar three times without stopping; that involved swimming also at night, with freezing temperatures. After twelve hours swimming, with 2 metre high waves, he had to abandon. He has been about to die several times during his challenges. Take a look at his impressive CV at Wikipedia.
Thanks for watching and for your comments!
(I'll include the exif data as soon as I can)
