the tiny village of Ballestar sitting pretty on a hill in the Els Ports mountains. The almond orchards are neatly laid out around the town.
When I took the shot the fog had just started to lift, there was still some haze in the air- it almost looked like a mirage. The sun was trying to break through the clouds - I happen to catch the sunspot on the town before the clouds closed in once more.

MiguelP and PixelTerror suggested trying to darken the photo to get more contrast- here it is. I like it- althought it looses a bit of the dreamlike quality.
