My last night in Amsterdam.
I wanted to take all colors, from every corner. I did not reach time. Now, I think I should have stayed all night without sleep. But I was tired and felt very cold. I hope to return to this beautiful city.

Castilla, una tierra llena de historias y de historia, lugar de grandes enfrentamientos y conquistas, donde hombres libres han forjado sus destinos con gran trabajo y valentÃa.
Recorriendo bellos parajes,
de una castilla,
quizás olvidada.
Tierra durante siglos castigada,
por la acción humana,
a pesar de sus pesares,
conserva la esencia, el todo, su alma....
Muchas gracias a todos!!
Thanks a lot! :D:D:D

This is the last post of this forest serie and I really look forward to more situations like this one with the fog but unfortunately there aren't nearby were I live, unless I do wake up 4 in the morning... nah not me...
The picture had purple fringing (also on some of the previously posted but in this one it was more marcant) therefore I made some heavier editing (denoise, desaturation, illuminate). Sometimes, in my modest opinion, heavier editing give an unexpected positively result and in this case I do like a lot the painterly, artistic look.
A note regarding flickr automatic tags: this time it got it right... The tree trunks do look like columns.. .like remnants of an ancient civilization....
