Cathedrals beach, Spain

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted September 25, 2012164 views7 comments
I would like to share with you this wonderful place in Galicia, in the North of Spain. It is called Cathedrals beach. The picture was done at sunrise during the high tide. During low tide, you can walk on the beach, entering in caves and crossing arches. The person on the left with the tripod is me.
Comments are welcome

Joana,

I don't think I've had a chance to welcome you to NPN - so Welcome! I think this is your first post, although I'll mention up front, I'll be moving this to the Man & Nature gallery after posting my comments. The coastal city/buildings as well as road/radio towers on the left are pretty clearly "Hand of Man." Hope you understand, and feel free to drop one of the moderators a note if you have any questions.

I do like this seascape though. You certainly get the feeling of the rough coast, ocean and sea mist that makes this a little hazy, but I think it gives this coast character, rather than being a flaw. If that makes sense.

I like the surf and the main rock outcropping. The arch makes for a strong anchor to the scene.

thanks for posting. We look forward to more images and thank you for your participation and comments.

Lon

This is an exciting scene for me because of the action of the water, and because of the inclusion of the human, which gives the viewer an idea of the size of the rocks. The layers created by the misty atmosphere add depth to the image. Excellent capture of a fascinating place. Thanks for sharing.

I love the feel of this Joana. I can practically feel the wind buffetting me. Very dynamic.

Nice job of slowing down the action of the sea and I really like the little keyhole cliff. The lighting/colors are a bit flat though.

I'm confused about one thing though - if the person in the image is you - who took this photo? Or should I ask, how was it taken?
