white brush strokes, a photo from Granada, Andalucia

Photographer's Note

This is the city of Granada observed from the Alhambra ("La Alhambra") towards the north - north-west, if I remember well.
It was a very sunny day in November, so I used my polarizer filter to enhance the blue hue of the sky and highlight the few white clouds present. Also because of this, I diled-in -1 step in the exposure compensation of the camera.
From La Alhambra very much of the city can be seen from a very vantage point. That is why, probably, the Arabs that conquered the Iberian peninsula built it on that hill.

Hi Jurgen
nice shot here.
I'm a big fan of cityscape and architecture, so this is naturally in my eyesight right away.
I like how the photo seems to get taller and taller, with more and more depth.
Seems like a great place to walk around.
lovely overview.
enjoy your day

Hi Jurgen!
That's masterpiece of DOF! Very moody panoramic scene with amazing depth. Super light and colors management. Super play of sun ligths on houses walls
Warm regards

Hola Jurgen,
Bella vista de Granada, no sabia que la Alhambra dominaba tanto la ciudad ! Me encanta la luz baja que hace un juego de sombras y luces en las fachadas. Es una lastima que la compresion de la foto ha hecho perder calidad, pero no puedes hacer muchas cosas para luchar contra.
