rocky remote, a photo from Huesca, Aragon

Photographer's Note

LOS MALLOS DE AGﾜERO is a village located pictueresquely against dark and steep rocks in the north of Aragaon. It is a small, sleepy and pretty remote place with very modest (i.e. almost no) facilities for tourism. But beautiful, and we enjoyed our overnight stay here.

Nearby is the similar and slightly better known village Los Mallos de Riglos. Also the impressive castle of Loarre is not far away.

THIS PICTURE is the main view of the town as you appraoch it on the main (and only) road leading there.
Not visible are the many vultures that live in the area and make quite a sight when they fly out at dusk.

Hello Benny

Looks a bit like Meteora in Greece. A superb elevated vantage point with good sharpness and nice warm cold colour contrasts between the blue sky and orange red village. Tfs!

Hello,
Spectacular place, I've instantly searched the google maps to see it! Great postcard, that's an area I will visit for sure.

Hello Benny,
A very good composition with the strange dark peaks neatly balanced by the low buildings and church basking in the sun. It's a fascinating scenery and a well taken photo. I never heard of this place.
Regards,
Gert

Dag Benny,

Dit is echt een heel mooie foto.
Perfect samengesteld met de rotsen rechts and the huizen ervoor.
Ook mooi scherp en kleurrijk gepresenteerd.
Heel goed foto werk, bedankt.

Groeten uit Oost-Vlaanderen,
John.

Hello Benny,

After reading your notes, I was surprised at the number of photographs on TE, revealing this place.

I do like your composition, showing how the buildings are so closely spaced, huddling beneath the dark, eroded rocks.
The warmth of the colours makes the village appear very welcoming, the church tower acting like a watchful sentry!

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hallo Benny,
Op de miniatuurfoto dacht ik dat dit het dorp Alqu騷ar (eveneens in Huesca gelegen) was. Toch niet maar minstens even mooi.
De achterliggende steil oprijzende rotsen zijn hier zelfs nog indrukwekkender.
De gevels en daken in dezelfde roze tinten maken deze dorpjes heel mooi.
Ik ben overtuigd dat je in de straatjes nog heel wat pittoreske hoeken gevonden hebt.
Vele groeten, Paul

Hi Benny
The majestic steep cliffs' shapes and formations immediately drawing the eye! The compact clusters of houses lends this more impact and strong focus point. It's a fascinating heritage sight pleasantly taken along with great clarity, colour and contrast. Congrats
Best regards

Hi Benny,

The town looks like a great place to visit, and it seems untouched by tourism. Its location is fantastic, with those huge cliffs behind it - they look like a giant ruined castle.

Hello Benny
What a fascinating capture highlighting an inhospitable terrain to which the villagers had to deal with for livelihood!
I tip my hat to the architects who had to surpass themselves for leveling so many inner floors, given the incongruous territory.
You pictured so beautifully, at the foot of four giant gods, a
magnificent and cozy village.
You show by the rules book a prize-winner phenomenon!
Cheers

Hi Benny,
What an extraordinary place! You have selected a great point of view to present it well.
The combination of stylish buildings with the church tower contrasts with the unique rock formations. The rocks are of unusual color and shape. Nice asymmetric composition as well.
Excellent work, and such an interesting less known destination,
M
