Eagle Aquaduct – It is located near the village of Nerja, 50 kms. East of Malaga (South of Spain), at the Mediterranic Coast, south of a chain of mountains known as “Sierra Almijara” (its peak is 1800 meters high (5400 feet)).
This aquaduct was built during the XIXth Century under the direction of a local builder called Francisco Cantarero. Its structure is composed of four storeys of brick arcades with a total of 38 arches. It was built to supply several Sugar Mill factories processing sugar cane from local plantations which are dated in this area since the XVIth Century. Today, all sugar mill factories are closed but this aquaduct is still used to supply water to communal farmers.
Nowadays, however, this aquaduct menaces ruin and deserves a careful rebuilding to avoid its collapse.

Maybe a bit over-exposed, but a real interesting post.
Good composition and excellent note, that's TE.
Thank you, Rui !

Impressionnante construction. J'en ai presque le vertige à m'imaginer au-dessus. Brrr. Le site est majestueux. Au vu de la météo j'aurais cadré différemment.

The shape, the balance, the colors, just a very nice picture. But is it really made of bricks? I can't believe it!

Beautiful capture of an interesting structure ;-) The top bit is a bit over exposed, but you could easily remedy this by masking the rest and applying saturation to just the mountains and sky in the background.

muito bonita esta construção.Maravilhosa.Interessante foto.Boa prespectiva e conjunção de cores.Parabens.Obrigada por ter partilhado.

Beautiful landscape and building. Your picture is a lot better than the picture at the homepage you link to.
Sell you pic. to them:-)

Good color and contrast in the picture.

Wow - I like the sight of this fine construction very much - add something extra to that fine landscape - too bad to hear about the condition it seams to be in.
Tanks for sharing you fine work Rui.

What a site!! I appreciate the comment and the view but i regret the slight over-exposure. What a pity you couldn't have shot this scenery with sunset light!

Great construction, fantastic architecture, well done!

A fine view of a fine aquaduct. I think the light helped you quite a bit here, must be evening, right?

Très joli édifice qui vaut la peine d'être photographié, et vous l'avez fait d'une excellente manière, peut-être auriez-vous dû coloriser légérement la composition.

Never saw such a beautiful aquaduct, Rui,
a nice total view !

What can I say beautiful photo Rui,
Good composition, good colours perfect one, good job

Beautiful composition! Very good detail and nice balanced colors. Very good.

Now, this, I like! Beautiful aquaduct and setting as well. Maybe you can crank the saturation just a bit up?

Hi Rui, I missed this one. What an impressive bridge (aquaduct)! Nicely captured in all its splendour!

quite interesting, I like how the picture was framed, complete giving us an idea of the whole area, also great note.

what a mammoth of a structure. excellent note and composition.

Wow, incredible building. The equality of the stages' thickness is strange in my point of view. We could imagine that the first stage should be much stronger than the last...
Technically, the picture is well framed, so as we can appreciate the entire structure.

Impressive structure!
The top part is a little bit over over exposed. Anyway, very nice picture.
Its a shame that a beautiful structure like this one may collapse because of negligence.

De cortar a respiração toda a grandiosidade da foto.

Construção espectacular em terras vizinhas.Bela foto.Parabéns

I'm surprised about this aqueduct, I didn't know about its existence. Anyway, it's a very nice picture.
Nice job!

Wow! really interesting!!
Pretty strage, but nice picture!

Fantastic picture! Great colors, superb frame and shading. Incredible aquaduc with 4 levels!!! Congratulation for this wonderfull shot.

Fantastic architecture, excellent exposure and composition. I have never seen anything like this before, only single storey aquiducts. TFS

Wow, excelente foto panorámica. Gran trabajo en el manejo del espacio y la combinación de naturaleza y obra humana. El contraste de color muy buenos y dan mucha vida a la foto. Felicidades Rui, excelente trabajo.

Saludos, Joaquin
