The Big River, a photo from Cadiz, Andalucia

Photographer's Note

The romans called it "BETIS". The arabs named it "ɡwaðalkiˈβir" which means THE BIG RIVER and in Spanish is known by GUADALQUIVIR. This picture is taken a few kilometers from its estuary at Sanlúcar de Barrameda. The shore we see in front corresponds to the National Park of DONANA, one of the wildlife reserves more important in Europe. During the XVI and XVII centuries his shores saw the galleons arriving from America heading to Seville and vice versa. In this place, near a village called Trebujena, the famous film director Steven Spielberg filmed his movie "Empire of the Sun".

Hola vecino!!

Ja, jaa...hoy coincidimos!
Me gusta mucho el formato panorámico de tu foto, y como se distribuye en tres franjas horizontales, la variedad de tonos de azul es genial y ofrece un precioso contraste con el cielo, muy buena!!

Recibe un cordial saludo.

Hello Luis,
A very nice view of the majestic river. I like the layers of various tones of blue and green/brown and the quiet atmosphere that the great amounts of water create.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Jose
This is a beautiful composition with the great river. Lovely light and colours with superb atmosphere. The sky with the fluffy clouds makes a nice contrast with the more sombre tones of the water. The sharpness and clarity are excellent.
best regards
