Siguenza

Photographer's Note

The castle in Sigüenza, near Guadalajara. The construcion began in year 1123 on over an old Moorish castle. It was the residence of the bishop and cardinal of Sigüenza in the time that members of the church were also warriors.
Today, inside of the castle there is a modern and comfortable hotel. In Spain there is a state-owned net of hotels constructed in old monuments like this one. They are called "paradores".
----
I preferred to take the upper side of the castle. The side below was unfortunately surrounded by ugly cars.

Nice shot, Clemente. Impressive subject. Perhaps colours could be more saturated? I guess time of day is a factor there. Nice composition/perspective. Well done.

Wow a great hotel! I would love to stay there! Nice photo, good lighting (even in the shadow) and good framing, a pleasing view of the hotel, well done

Hermosa vista del castillo. Me gusta mucho el cielo salpicado de nubes y la luz sobre la piedra del castillo. Creo que el punto de visto es bueno, ya que permite tener crear una sensación de grandeza del edificio. La inclución del puente ha sido un acierto ya que rompe con la diagonal del muro, pero sinceramente, creo que el azul del marco no es muy acertado.
Buen trabajo

Hi Clemente,
Really a beautiful place to produce an excellent historical movie. I already can hear the clarion call and the clattering of hoofs
