Infinite Gallery Photo

Photographer’s Note

A covered gallery in the town of Aranjuez.
For those who don´t know it, I would really recommend going to see Aranjuez - it´s about 20-30 km from Madrid on the A-4 (road south to Andalucia), it´s the nicest town in those parts. It is spanish version of Versalles and far less known, but in my opinion even nicer for that very reason - not so much mass tourism. There is a beautiful palace, surrounded by enormous gardens full of trees and shade - a very welcome stop when travelling the A-4 south in the height of summer.

This covered gallery actually gives access to people´s homes - the palace´s gallerys are more sumptuous. The incredible length of the gallery made it a great subject for the photo - along with the very particular vaults (called "bóvedas baídas" in spanish) and the way the light reflected on them.

Hi Charity
Great perspective. The length of the gallery made that it looks like a reflection repeated in several mirrors. Very original and interesting concept. Congratulations.
Cheers
Roman

Bonjour Charity Anne,
Très jolie photo d'architecture, l'effet perspective
est bien réussi.Un peu dommage que la lumière à travers les arcades ne soit pas plus intense.

Hi Charity,

Nice shot with an interesting POV and an excellent note.

I thought your shot needed a bit more contrast to make the textures and architectural features stand out - I've done a workshop - hope you like it
