Lighted Lighthouse
Faro de Teno
by Jiri Hajek

I'd prefer sunset here, but since the access to this location is limited, sunrise was easier to arrange. Fortunately, it's beautiful here any time of day and as a bonus, I had the lighthouse all for myself for an hour or so. Beautiful morning!

Puente de Besalu _XT22410
Pont de Besalu
by Alberto Estella

El puente de Besalú es un puente románico que está situado en Besalú (Gerona, España) y cruza el río Fluviá. Está catalogado como Bien de Interés Cultural a nivel nacional y a nivel autonómico como Bien Cultural de Interés Nacional,

Se trata de un puente de forma angular con siete arcos desiguales (el primero queda incluido dentro del sector correspondiente al recinto amurallado), que están situados encima de pilares, muchos de ellos basados en la roca viva, con tajamares. Al final del primer tramo, entre el cuarto y el quinto arco, hay un ensanchamiento de la calzada y más adelante, entre el sexto y el séptimo, hay otro. El portal de acceso, fortificado, está sobrepuesto al primer pilar del puente.

Encima del quinto pilar se levanta la torre fortificada, de planta hexagonal con dos arcos de medio punto superpuestos, por el lado de levante, y con un arco apuntado y aspilleras en la cima, por el lado de poniente. En uno de los sillares del pilar central del segundo tramo, hay una piedra heráldica con la fecha 1680, lo que hace pensar en una restauración de gran envergadura o en una reconstrucción casi total del puente.

Historia El puente de Besalú es el resultado de varias reconstrucciones, reformas, añadidos y restauraciones, realizadas a lo largo de los siglos. La primera noticia que se tiene del puente es del año 1075. En 1284 se vuelve a hacer referencia al puente, al vender un huerto. Puede que el trazado inicial fuera otro, ya que aguas arriba hay restos de un pilar con sillares en la base similares a los del puente. Varios aguaceros (1315, 1321, 1433, 1421, 1669, 1771 y 1790) afectaron el puente de modo que fue necesario repararlo a menudo. En 1880 se derribó la torre del centro y el portal de acceso desde el pueblo para facilitar el paso de maquinaria necesaria para la industria local. En 1939, durante la Guerra Civil Española, se volaron dos arcos.

It could be a Paradise
Sant Antoni de Calonge
by Fer_SG

It was a cloudy sunrise on that beach near Cap Roig Hotel in Costa Brava, Catalonia. This shot was taken at 7:56, 4 minutes before the sunrise.

It was really relaxing to be there enjoying colors and the sound of the sea.

Nice view of Monestero Lake.

This panorama is made of three shots. Hugin was used for stretching the panorama with a Biplane projection, while the rest of the job was done with Darktable. A 'Gobe CPL' Polarizer Filter was used.

A scene-referred pipeline was chosen, and a personal Orton effect was applied in the end with few display-scene plugins, blurring a little bit the far mountains.

Painted Morning
Playa de Benijo
by Jiri Hajek

Benijo is a pretty remote beach, but definitely worth the trip. The sea stacks and beach boulders offer plentiful opportunities for compositions.

Photo Tips: Any time of day can be interesting here. I'd prefer sunrise, but sunsets can be equally good. Watch out for waves!

Getting there: It's about an hour of mountain driving from Santa Cruz de Tenerife, so start early. Be careful while driving, since there's a lot steep curves, but the road is in a good condition, so nothing dangerous in case you are careful. There's parking right above the beach, but only for some tens of cars, which is more than enough for mornings, but might be harder to park in the evening.

Dos mil años nos separan de ese puente romano, mas de 1000 de la Mezquita del fondo, y 500 de la Catedral que se aloja en su interior, en esta toma se junta el arte Romano, el arte Musulmán y el arte Cristiano, todo en una sola toma de Córdoba.

Córdoba...
Puente romano de Córdoba
by Luciano Paniagua Montes

El puente romano de Córdoba está situado sobre el río Guadalquivir a su paso por Córdoba, y une el barrio del Campo de la Verdad con el Barrio de la Catedral. También conocido como "el Puente Viejo" fue el único puente con que contó la ciudad durante 20 siglos, hasta la construcción del puente de San Rafael, a mediados del siglo XX. El 9 de enero de 2008 se inauguró la mayor y discutida remodelación que el puente Romano ha tenido en su historia.

Construido a principios del siglo I d.C., durante la época de dominación romana en Córdoba, sobre el río Guadalquivir (probablemente sustituyendo a uno más primitivo de madera), tiene una longitud de unos 331 metros y está compuesto por 16 arcos, aunque originalmente tuvo 17. Fue uno de los más importantes medios de entrada a la ciudad desde la zona sur de la península Ibérica por ser el único punto para cruzar el río sin utilizar ningún tipo de embarcación. Probablemente la Vía Augusta que iba desde Roma hasta Cádiz pasaba por él.

Desde 1931, el puente, conjuntamente con la puerta del puente y la torre de la Calahorra está declarado Bien de interés cultural en la categoría de monumento. Forma parte del centro histórico de Córdoba que fue declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en 1994.

Corbera d'Ebre Ruins (v2)
Corbera d'Ebre Ruins
by Fer_SG

A reminder of war consequences.

Extracted from wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corbera_d%27Ebre

"The town was completely destroyed during the Battle of the Ebro (25 July–16 November 1938) and although the lower part of the town was rebuilt, the upper part, known as Poble Vell (Old Town), including the old church on the hill, has been kept as a reminder.

The town has one of the five information centres run by COMEBE, a public consortium, including the Generalitat de Catalunya, that was founded in 2001 to recover the historical memory of the areas in which the 115-day-long Battle of the Ebro, the longest, bloodiest and most decisive battle of the Spanish Civil War, took place. The Centre d'interpretació de la batalla de l'Ebre (Battle of the Ebro Information Centre) has marked paths on a circuit around the area."

Silky wake up (Vivid edition)
Pont del Petroli
by Fer_SG

Flickr: https://flic.kr/p/2eovE6d

Sunrise in Moll del Petroli (Petrolium dock), Badalona.

Simple shot in Manual mode with 416 seconds (7 minutes) of exposition. This is my first shot taken and published with a filter. In fact, it was a double filter (Haida ND3.0 {100 steps} and Haida ND1.8 {6 steps}).

After, It was processed with Darktable creating the basic canvas for AdobeRGB with the Logarithmic option for Unbreak input profile. Then, additional plugins like Tone Curve, Highpass filters (only rocks), Local contrast (only rocks), Lowpass filters, Haze removal, some denoise plugins, and others were applied.

In this edition, the exposition was a little bit increased, colors were not modified but saturation and vividness were increased.

There is another version where the exposition was maintained a little bit low, colors were modified to be more neutral, and also violets where increased. You can see following this link: www.flickr.com/photos/fersg/46899055231/in/photostream/

Wine Cathedral
Wine Cathedral
by Fer_SG

Extracted and translated from wikipedia: ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catedral_del_vi

A wine cathedral is, in the Catalan sphere, a cooperative winery with a large ship built in the Modernist style approximately between 1910 and 1920.

The architects that designed this type of construction are Cèsar Martinell (disciple of Antoni Gaudí) or Pere Domènech i Roura, among others. The denomination was created by Àngel Guimerà to refer, initially, to the Cooperative Winery of the Espluga de Francolí and later extended to the Cooperative Winery of Gandesa and other similar cellars. These buildings have in common their characteristic architectural style, as well as the size of the ships.

The name of the wine cathedral is explained above all by the aesthetics (for example, by the facade and the vaults of the ceiling) and by the dimensions. Keep in mind, on the other hand, that the beauty and other peculiarities of these works are linked to functionality. It is a specific conception of modernism, in which the aesthetics and functionality were built on the wall; and so is seen in many other modernist works that are wineries like the attic of La Pedrera in Barcelona, the Palace of Catalan Music of Barcelona, the Institute Pere Mata de Reus or slaughterhouses Modernist Tortosa among others.
