Well, in this photo I want to talk about a lot of things.
First let me say about the city where I took the photo: Burgos.

I think Burgos is one of the nicest cities of Spain. It is a small and nice city. It is difficult find so a city like Burgos. I mean, it is an old city with medieval buildings. Some of them are really important. The romanesque and gothic art are very important in this city and also its old history.
The cathedral, the castle, the river, the walls, churchs, palaces or monasteries.
But also has something very unusual: if you follow the river Arlanzon you will find a wonderful walk in the middle of a forest.
Yes, this forest belongs to the city.

Maybe something unusual but also something nice.



Once I've said this... in my last picture I talk about the Eurovision contest. Don't be wrong, probably that singer will go to Eurovision. But he really isn't a singer: he's an actor and in this video (sorry in Spanish) you will understand why this song.


But, the last thing I will say with this photo, tomorrow there will be another elections. We are going to choose our next president.
But someone tomorrow won't be able to vote any candidate.

Yesterday ETA killed a man who, time ago, belong to the city hall of Mondragón, a little village in Guipúzcoa (the Basque Country). He belonged to the socialist party and that was his fault.
His wife and one of his three sons were the first persons who helped him. A terrorist waited him and shot him a few times. Some of the shots were to the nape of the neck.

The major of the village belongs to a party which supports the killers.

Isaías Carrasco is the name of the last victim of ETA.
He was 43 years old and he leaves wife and three sons.
He was killed two days before the elections... it is the only way the terrorists vote in Spain.

Holà Carlos,

A very beautiful photo with the winter's light. Hot colours and a sky blue.
Buena tarde,

Well Coco, a nice photo again.
The region of Burgos looks very beautiful indeed.
I think I will spend a few days of my next trip to Spain in that region.
I also heard the news about the murder on
Senior Carrasco. Will this useless violence never stop?

Kind regards,

Eddie

Hi Carlos,
This is a very attractive image with gorgeous golden autumn colors. The vertical perspective is very well chosen and like the upper branches set against the deep blue sky. Great note. Well done and TFS. Gerald

Hi Carlos,
Amazing trees. Good colors. Original POV. Wonderful perspective.Good sharpness and contrast.

Hola Carlos,
malgrat la tristesa d'aquest dia, amb els fets que has explicat tan bé a la teva nota, la foto és magnífica i d'una gran bellesa.
M'agrada molt el punt de vista tan baix, la gran perspectiva dels arbres, les fulles mortes a terra i el cel blau al fons.
I demà, anirem a fer allò que als assassins no els agrada que fem, pensar, decidir, i votar el que creiem més apropiat a les nostres idees, una cosa que aquests fills de mala mare no toleren ni toleraran mai. O s'està d'acord amb ells i la seva bogeria, o senzillament, et maten.
Espero veure algun dia un País Basc en pau i amb la llibertat que ara no poden disfrutar gran part dels seus ciutadans.
Salut, i com deia ahir el MiguelP, jo demà aniré a "zapatear" i serà el meu petit homenatge al company de sindicat i ciutadà Isaías Carrasco, que descansi en pau.
Josep

Hola Carlitos, yo también le he dedicado una foto a Isaías. Todos los atentados son terribles, y este no es una excepción. Bonito homenaje compañero.

Hola Carlos:
La foto es simplemente preciosa: el punto de vista bajo que da realce a los árboles y el contraste armonioso entre los colores. Una bella imagen para un día triste.
Un abrazo,
Pepe

Hi Carlos
The light and the automnals colors are beautifull in this comosition. Your cropping is beautifull
Bertrand

I just finished writing my 20 critiques to find this beauty from you. I think it is one of my favourites from you in a long time. The winter light is wonderful with its golden tones illuminating the trees to perfection. Well composed from a low POV and a gorgeous blue sky in the background.
Sad story in your note though. My thoughts go out to his family. Did they catch the terrorist responsible?

Hola Carlos:
un poco deprimente el ambiente otoñal cuando estoy esperando impaciente la llegada de la primavera...
Me gusta la sensación de profundidad y de infinito de la foto, asi como sus colores
P.D: Enrollate y intenta colgar alguna con flores más primaveresca
Un saludo,

Hola Carlos,

els colors magnífics+ la llum intensa + la gran qualitat d'imatge + l'atmòsfera envolvent +
la bona profunditat de camp + impecable presentació = magnífica fotografia....una esperança cap al futur lliure, sense amenaces i sense assassins

Una abraçada, Jordi

Hola capullín.

Un bonito color si señor. Incluso para ser tu.

Eso si, como homenaje...un 10. Esperemos que no se tenga que dedicar ninguna más a nadie jamás.

Aleeeeee

Hola Carlos
Que triste sobre la victima del Eta. Menos mal que gano Zapatero. Y que tonteria el chiki chiki.
Por fin, que bonita tu foto.
Me encantan los colores, la vista tan baja y la profundidad. Ademas me gusta como el arbol y la linea del avion forman una cruz.
Un saludo
Nikki

hola,
veo que has hecho mucho los deberes y no has parado con las fotos. Me temo que llevo mucho retraso con tu galeria...bueno ya la ire viendo poco a poco...
me encanta esta foto. La composición es magnífica. La toma baja va muy bien ya que da una impresion de profundidad muy espectacular. El arbol inclinado encuadra dentro de la foto y centra perfectamente sobre la avenida de arboles.
Nada que decir de los colores y luces.

Me recuerda a una foto que hice hace un tiempo, pero la tuya es una version muy muy mejorada.

Hasta otra,

Javier

Hola Carlos,
Wonderful shot!
Great composition, light and colors...
Best regards. Uğur

Hi Carlos
Beautiful composition, with good use of low horizon. The plane trail adds interest.
Sad note - what can one say?
Phil

Hello Carlos,
A forest inside a city ? Well difficult to believe but apparently true.
You make think about including Burgos ( And perhaps other suggestions too - I've been to Segovia ) in my next Spain trip.
Excellent one, and makes me learn more about Spain - Friendly - Izzet

Hello CARLOS,
simple and nice composed picture,good lighting
a beautiful place and generally a shot
that excites my feelings
bravo

Costantino

Hola Carlos:

Estupenda estampa del bosque, desde abajo todo parece un poco distinto, y un cambio de posición permite ver cosas nuevas. Bellos colores y un buen punto de vista para acompañar esta nota.

Un saludo,
Angel.

Your note is terrifying, Carlos and at the first moment I was thinking how would this match with your post. Maybe the dead leaves and the tree that is about to crash gives some of that - who knows.
The picture is great anyway and the low POV is a very good and wise choice. I wish it could be sharper, but that is a minor detail.
Peter

Sad story but the photo is so nice, the light produced wonderful colours, very serene impression...

Cheers
Alexander

Hi Carlos ;

Hello Carlos
The DOF and perspective are great in this shot. Your framing is also a bonus, as are the colours and the light. Nice work.
Best wishes
Mark
