Alcazar, Segovia, Spain

Another shot that took a lot of walking around and waiting. That

patch of blue was the only one in the whole sky when I took this ...

Your walk around paid off handsomely getting the light at the point of view that delivers the most spectaculat view of the Fortress (I guees you know that the Spanish word Alcazar comes from the Arabic word Al Ksr that means: The Fortress)

And, thanks once again for appreciating a photo that others don't seem to. This didn't do well in the old ratings game and didn't attract any comments. I think people just look at it as a standard sort of postcard shot, which it is. On the other hand, getting it (FOR ME) required spending four hours walking around the entire base of the hill, freezing, with the weather and light changing all the time looking for good spots and waiting for good light. A person who knew the area could probably drive there and get this in five minutes, though.

 

 

Well Bill, I know all those places...

Next time you come here, just let me know some days in advance and we can plan a shooting trip together to some place you'd like to photograph.
