Brought my 1500 D700 shots of 16 days Cote d'Opale back to one thousand... plenty of missed oportunities, wrong settings, blown out skies, dirty lenses, waterdrops on the lens etc, etc. Duh!
About this shot
Tricky stuff walking along the French cliffs at sunset, you really need a tides table to avoid getting in trouble. 5 meters of water level difference, from smashing waves against the cliffs to an empty space of almost one kilometer, with a couple of surprises in between.
Not easy planning a sunset shoot. This is at a distance of over half an hour to the next beach/cliff stairs, no (smart)phone range here, not another soul in sight - and the water is too far away! Bugger!
I found out I *really* need to get my set-up of ND hard and soft grads!
THX for viewing folks! Faves and comments are always welcome! Have a nice day.

Después de estar todos estos meses intentando pillar un buen anochecer, lo fui a encontrar el penúltimo día de mis vacaciones. Por eso el título tiene un doble sentido, se acaba la estación y encontré mi objetivo.

Zumaia (Spanish: Zumaya) is a small town in the north of Spain in the Basque Country.
The town has two beaches (Itzurun and Santiago), which are of interest to geologists because they are situated among the longest set of continuous rock strata in the world. Known locally as the "flysch" they date from the mid-cretaceous period to the present, a time period of over 100 million years. The K-T boundary is present at the Itzurun beach, and fossils can be found, notably of ammonites. The strata stretches along a distance of about 8 km, between the towns/beaches of Deba and Getaria, with Zumaia lying in the middle. en.Wikipedia
My photos, see also in my comment, were taken at the beach of Itzurun ... I was impressed by the rock formations and sunset atmosphere.

Zumaia (baskisch, spanisch Zumaya) ist eine Stadt in der Provinz Gipuzkoa (spanisch Guipúzcoa) im Norden der iberischen Halbinsel in der spanischen Region Baskenland. Sie liegt ca. 25 km westlich der Stadt San Sebastian. Geologisch interessant ist Zumaia vor allem wegen des an der Küste gut sichtbaren Flyschs. Flysch (eine schweizerische Bezeichnung für Felsmaterial, das zu Bergrutschen und Hangrutschungen neigt) bezeichnet in der Geologie eine in ihrer Gesteinszusammensetzung abwechslungsreiche Wechselfolge von oft kalkhaltigen Sandsteinen und Tonsteinen, die intensiv verformt sein kann. Wikipedia
Zumaia hat zwei Strände (Itzurun and Santiago) ... meine Aufnahmen habe ich am Strand von Itzurun gemacht. Die Felsformationen waren sehr eindrucksvoll.

En el siglo XIII Alfonso X, a través de la Carta Puebla, reconoce a Gozón como comunidad debido a su enorme importancia en industria pesquera de la caza de ballenas y los astilleros.
En el siglo XVII y XVIII, la industria ballenera fue a menos y la población derivo su economía hacia la industria conservera y de salazones. Esta nueva industria provoca que el puerto de Gozón pase a ser uno de los más importantes de la costa cantábrica.
En el siglo XX aparece el turismo y se descubre este paraíso.
Al otro lado de la bahia está la Ermita del Carmen,se encuentra en una pequeña isla que lleva su nombre y durante la marea baja se puede acceder por el pedrero desde la playa del Dique. Todos los años se celebra una misa el día 16 de Julio en la festividad del N. Sra. del Carmen.

Situated 1834m above sea level in one of the most strikingly beautiful locations in Germany, the Kehlsteinhaus, also known to many as the Eagle's Nest, is a building steeped in history. Build as a fiftieth birthday present for National Socialist leader Adolf Hitler, the Teehaus perched at the summit of the Kehlstein mountain in the Bavarian Alps. It is situated on a ridge at the top of the Kehlstein mountain. The last 124 m up to the Kehlsteinhaus are reached by an elevator bored straight down through the mountain and linked via a tunnel through the granite below that is 124 meters long. The inside of the large elevator car is surfaced with polished brass, Venetian mirrors and green leather. The elevator is still used daily. Construction of the mountain elevator system cost the lives of 12 construction workers. The main reception room is dominated by a fireplace of red Italian marble, presented by Mussolini. This is also often called Hitler's Tea House but that is a misnomer. Although Reichsleiter Martin Bormann was inspired to build the Kehlsteinhaus by Hitler's obvious fancy for the Teehaus on the Mooslahnerkopf, Hitler did not use the Kehlsteinhaus as an afternoon tea house, nor did he visit it regularly. Hitler used the Kehlsteinhaus only to show off to visiting dignitaries, and he probably did not visit it himself more than twenty times, as he did not like the height and the perceived dangers of lightning and the elevator. Bormann himself and Eva Braun did far more entertaining in the Kehlsteinhaus than did Hitler. Although the Kehlsteinhaus was a designated target for the April 1945 Royal Air Force bombing attack. The Allies thought there might be underground military facilities there, part of the mythical Alpine Redoubt, it was not hit. Apparently it was too small a target, and too difficult to pick out of the surrounding area from above. Due to its being having been commissioned by the Nazi leadership, it will never be possible to separate the Kehlsteinhaus from its bitter historical legacy. However, with more than fifty years having passed since the end of the war and with new friendships having been made. Nowadays it has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in southern Germany.
Photo of the Kehlsteinhaus taken from the Jenner mountain. Father and son are on a hike to the top of the mountain. The helicopter was landing on top of the mountain. A few seconds later a paraglider was jumping down. A quiet expensive taxi ride for this paraglider. But I'm sure the view most be magnificient from up there.
Kehlsteinhaus, ook wel genoemd Adelaarsnest, is gebouwd op de top van de Kehlstein, nabij de Obersalzberg bij Berchtesgaden in Zuid-Duitsland. Het werd ontworpen en gebouwd onder regie van Martin Bormann en werd Hitler op zijn vijftigste verjaardag Kehlsteinhaus in 1939 cadeau gedaan door de NSDAP. Martin Bormann organiseerde de bouw van een theehuis, het Kehlsteinhaus, op de top van de Kehlstein, op 1834 meter hoogte. In feite was het project door de steile hellingen een waanzinnige onderneming. De nazi's waren er echter voortdurend op uit het Duitse volk te verbazen met hun daden en dus werd ook hier besloten das Unmögliche zu machen. Kosten noch moeite werden gespaard om het project zo snel mogelijk te realiseren. Een kleine 4000 arbeiders werkten dag en nacht aan de toevoerweg. Voor het laatste gedeelte werd een tunnel en een lift te bouwen. Voor deze lift werd een schacht met een hoogte van 124 meter in de berg uitgehouwen. De lift zelf werd voorzien van alle comfort: ventilatie, gestoffeerde banken en spiegels. Dit laatste werd gedaan vanwege de claustrofobie van de Führer. De lift wordt tot op heden gebruikt door vele toeristen, die het Kehlsteinhaus en het panorama komen bekijken. Hitler zelf bezocht het huis slechts incidenteel, ondanks de nabijheid van zijn zomerhuis het Berghof. Niet alleen omdat hij leed aan hoogtevrees en claustrofobie, maar ook omdat slecht tegen de ijle lucht op grote hoogte kon. Bovendien was hij bang voor aanslagen tijdens de reis met de lift. Wel verbleven zijn maîtresse Eva Braun en haar zuster Gretl met vriendinnen hier regelmatig. Het huis bleef gespaard tijdens het geallieerde bombardement in april 1945. Na de oorlog hadden de Amerikanen, die het beheer van de Obersalzberg hadden overgenomen, plannen ook het Kehlsteinhaus te verwoesten. Op aandringen van de regering in Beieren bleef het huis gespaard en werd het uiteindelijk overgedragen aan de deelstaat Beieren, onder voorwaarde dat alles wat aan het naziverleden was gerelateerd zou worden uitgewist. Tegenwoordig fungeert het Kehlsteinhaus als toeristische attractie.

En esta ocasión queria dedicarle a mi amiga Gema, ha sido mama recientemente de una niña llamada Leire. Os invito a todos a pasar por su galeria, ver sus fotos y darle la enhorabuena.
Foto tomada en Albarración, hoz del río Gudalaviar.
Albarracín posee un casco histórico medieval de gran belleza, fruto de su dilatada historia y de su importancia como villa fronteriza, pero además toda la población, hoy en día, aún conserva la doble muralla que lo protegía, así como el Castillo y los torreones del Andador y de doña Blanca.
Antes de poseer estas murallas, tuvo un castillo a cuyos pies comenzó a crecer la localidad, lo que llevó a construir las murallas a partir del siglo X, ampliándose en la centuria posterior. De hecho, éstas son las que se pueden observar, si bien parcialmente rehechas en épocas posteriores.
La razón para que estas murallas se hayan conservado tan bien a lo largo de la historia, se debe a que tras la reconquista cristiana, la ciudad pasó a formar parte del Reino de Aragón, y posteriormente en el siglo XIV a la Corona de Aragón, convirtiéndose así en zona fronteriza con Castilla, lo que obligaba a mantener el amurallamiento en buenas condiciones.
En realidad, el sistema defensivo de Albarracín, lo componían tres fortalezas: el castillo Principal, el del Andador y el Torreón de Doña Blanca, a los que se sumaban dos recintos cerrados por las murallas. El recinto amurallado de menor tamaño se correspondería con el poblamiento musulmán, mientras que el segundo recinto amurallado es posterior, incluyendo en su interior parte del monte de la localidad.
English:
This time I would like to dedicate this picture to my friend Gema, that has been a breast recently. Your daughter Leire and she. I recommend to you to visit her gallery and to greet her.
Albarracín possesses a historical medieval hull of great beauty, fruit of your extensive history and of your importance as frontier villa, but in addition the whole population, nowadays, still preserves the double wall that was protecting it, as well as the Castle and the towers of the Walker and of dona Blanca.
Before possessing these walls, it had a castle to whose feet the locality began to grow, which led to constructing the walls from the 10th century, being extended in the later century. In fact, these are those who can be observed, though partially re-done in later epochs.
The reason in order that these walls have remained so well along the history, owes to that after the Christian reconquest, the city happened to form a part of the Kingdom of Aragon, and later in the 14th century to the Wreath of Aragon, turning this way into frontier zone with Castile, which the amurallamiento was forcing to support in good conditions.
Actually, Albarracín's defensive system, three fortresses were composing it: the Principal castle, that of the Walker and Dona Blanca's Tower, to that two enclosures closed by the walls were adding. The enclosure walled of minor size would correspond with the Moslem poblamiento, whereas the second walled enclosure is later, including in your interior report of the mount of the locality.

About this shot
Scoop nr 1 This is 'The Scoop' next to the modern London City Hall, a great place for photography - If they would let ya. I can't complain though.
Scoop nr 2 Always keep an eye on your shadow when you're out and about, or else you might be ruining your own shots. *cough* Yep! :-)
Scoop nr 3 Don't be afraid to go out on a walk with another photographer thinking "you might end up getting the same shots!" This is not a problem at all. Evidence: This is Scott's shot of me taking the shot above. And this one. Y'see? It's another world, so no problem at all, unless you keep shooting over each others shoulders all the time of course. But then, there's always post-processing. ;-)
Have a nice day!

Haha, this one just makes me smile... I don't think his tongue could be any longer :) We were in the middle of a long walk Barney, Dilly and I went on a few days before I left for France. I only meant to have a short walk, on one of the smaller hills in the background of this pic but wonderful weather meant I was reluctant to go home. We ended up staying out hours longer than I'd planned, eventually walking (or in Barney's case, loping) up to the highest point of the Malverns (not that high - around 1,300ft). I love walking on the hills of course, but even seeing them from a distance makes me happy... They're the first thing I look for when coming home: from miles away you can spot them rising in an orderly line out of the flood plains of Worcestershire, it's a nice sight when you've been away for awhile :)
Barney was ecstatically happy to see me (the feeling was mutual!) when I arrived this afternoon. He was already bounding down the hall as I turned the key and opened the front door. I had to stand outside for 10 minutes while he just leaped up and down, tripping on my suitcase, crashing into my legs, throwing himself on the floor in a wriggling heap and just as I reached down to pat him, leaping up again, to lick my face! When I finally got inside he pounced on his kong, proudly prancing back to show me, shaking his head ferociously and doing a funny little dance with his front paws. Finally, he led the way back to the garden, tail curled jauntily over his back and a cheeky grin on his face that was an invitation (or perhaps demand is the right term) for play :) I couldn't resist...
It's lovely having such a fantastic welcome home but I'm glad I've got no plans to for a long holiday or visit with relatives soon - I hate saying goodbye to him - especially as he knows what a suitcase is. Whenever I bring the case downstairs, he immediately goes into sulk mode (he has bitter experience with me bringing my case down and then leaving for university for 3 months). Unless I'm gathering his bowls, leads, toys etc he will go very quiet and subdued. I call him and he won't come, he just stares at the suitcase, then at me and stays where he is, head on his paws. It is a truly pitiful sight and one that breaks my heart (even though I know, after a day of sulking he's back to his happy self!!) Yes, I had a lovely time but I'm glad to be back and I think Barney's pretty pleased too :)

Seyðisfjörður (Seydisfiordur) is a village in the Eastfjords of Iceland at the end of the fjord of the same name. A road over Fjarðarheiði mountain pass connects Seyðisfjörður to the rest of Iceland; 27 km to the ring road and Egilsstaðir. Seyðisfjörður is surrounded by mountains on all sides with most prominent Mt. Bjólfur to the West (1085m) and Strandartindur (1010m) to the East. The fjord itself is accessible on each side from the town, by following the main road that leads through the town.
The pass is amazing, like an alpine valley just growing from the sea level. You can't believe your eyes, which tell you that you are in a high mountain environment, since your brain knows you are so close to the Ocean.
The clouds were passing away very fast, the light was changing every minute, the meltwater level of this small lake was rising.
Why not shooting a long exposition and capture that natural mirror?
This valley is just awesome.
Near Seyðisfjörður , Iceland, June 2010.

Seyðisfjörður (Seydisfiordur) es un pueblo en el Este de Islandia, que se encuentra al final del fiordo que lleva el mismo nombre. La carretera de montaña que cruza el paso de Fjarðarheiði conecta Seyðisfjörður con el resto de Islandia, 27 km (un mundo) hasta Egilsstaðir, que es el núcleo de población más cercano. Seyðisfjörður se encuentra rodeada de altas montañas por todos lados, por lo que el acceso al valle es sólo por un punto o a través del mar. Los picos más altos son Bjólfur en el Oeste (1085m) y Strandartindur (1010m) hacia el Este.
El paso de Fjarðarheiði es increíble, es como un valle alpino emergiendo desde el nivel del mar. Cuando estas allí, no puedes creer a tus ojos, que te dicen que estás en un paisaje de alta montaña de 3000m, mientras que tu cerebro sabe que estás muy cerca del Océano.
Las nubes desaparecían muy rápido, la luz cambiaba a cada minuto, el nivel de agua del deshielo de este pequeño lago glaciar crecía contínuamente.
¿Por qué no usar una larga exposición y capturar ese espejo natural?
Este valle es impresionante.

Nome comune: Ibisco.
Genere: Hibiscus.
Famiglia: Malvaceae.
Etimologia: deriva dal nome greco, ebisckos e ibiskus, usato già da Dioscoride per indicare una specie di malva.
Provenienza: Stati Uniti del sud, America Meridionale, Africa, Cina, Giappone, India, Siria, Italia e regioni mediterranee.
Descrizione genere: comprende circa 250-300 specie di arbusti, piccoli alberi o piante erbacee, perenni o annuali, rustici o delicati, sempreverdi o a foglie decidue. In tutte le specie i fiori, che compaiono di solito all’ascella delle foglie (ma anche all’apice dei rami), sono imbutiformi, semplici, semidoppi, doppi o stradoppi e, comunque, molto appariscenti. Il calice è formato da cinque sepali, disposti ad avvolgere la base del fiore. La corolla è formata da cinque petali (nei fiori semplici) uguali, svasati all’estremitaà o piani, ben distanziati tra loro o leggermente sovrapposti l’uno all’altro. Dal centro del fiore fuoriesce la colonna staminale, sulla quale sono disposti gli stami e che può essere più lunga o più corta della corolla, ma che in ogni caso porta sul suo prolungamento lo stilo, terminante con cinque pistilli. I fiori sono inodori, ad eccezione di quelli delle specie H. arnottianus e H. waimae, dotati di un lieve profumo. Le varietà e gli ibridi oggi in commercio sono stati ottenuti da poche specie orticole e sono suddivisibili in due grandi gruppi: gli ibischi tropicali (derivati da H. rosa-sinensis) e gli ibischi rustici (derivati da H. syriacus o Rosa di Sharon).
Silence
La brume matinale danse
Dans le plus grand des silences
Laissant paraître
Ce paysage, qui veut naître
Pour cette nouvelle journée
Mes yeux émerveillés
Devant tant de douceur
Où s’éveillent les couleurs
Je me souviens de cette scène
Qui par delà, les monts m’emmène
A la découverte de se Pays
Où tout n’est que magie
Domi
Silence
The morning mist dance
In the largest of silence
Betraying
This landscape, which is born
For this new day
My eyes filled with wonder
Faced with such gentleness
Where awake colors
I remember this scene
Who beyond, the mountains take me
Discovering to Country
Where everything is magic
Domi
"All you need is faith and trust... and a little bit of pixie dust!"
That quote perfectly describes my feelings about my first workshop yesterday. I was beyond excited to meet my group and see what everyone had to offer, and I was nervous too...that I would suddenly forget how to create an image! So I thought it only appropriate to do a Peter Pan picture :-)
It was an absolutely wonderful day from start to finish. I think that we all learned something, and we definitely all had a laugh at some of my odd techniques both in shooting and editing!! :-P I am bursting with excitement for the next one now!

The Königssee is a lake located in the extreme southeast of the German state of Bavaria, near the border with Austria. It's all part of the Berchtesgaden National Park. Located at a Jurassic rift it was formed by glaciers during the last ice age. It stretches about 7.7 km. The lake similar to a fjord is surrounded by steeply rising flanks of mountains up to 2700 m. The lake is noted for its clear water and is advertised as the cleanest lake in Germany. For this reason, only electric driven passenger ships, rowing and pedal boats have been permitted on the lake since 1909. Due to its picturesque setting, the lake and surrounding parklands are very popular with tourists and hikers. In addition, the lake's position surrounded by sheer rock walls creates an echo, which is known for its clarity. St. Bartholomä, a famous pilgrimage church with a small inn nearby, is located on a peninsula about halfway down the western lakeshore. It named for Saint Bartholomew the Apostle Bartholomäus in German. A first chapel at the lake was built in 1134 from 1697 onwards it has been rebuilt in a Baroque style with a floor plan modelled on Salzburg Cathedral, two onion domes and a red domed roof. St. Bartholomä and the southern edge can only be reached by boat or via hiking trails up the surrounding mountains.
A bird's eye view of St. Bartholomä next to the Konigssee in the county of Berchtesgaden - Germany. You can see three electric boats. Photo taken from the Jenner mountain top at the height of 1,870 meters where the beauty of the Berchtesgaden valley and Königssee can be viewed. The lake is noted for its clear water and is advertised as the cleanest lake in Germany. For this reason, only electric driven passenger ships, rowing and pedal boats have been permitted on the lake since 1909.
De Königssee is een meer in het uiterste zuidoosten van de Duitse deelstaat Beieren, nabij de grens met Oostenrijk. Het is het diepste meer van Duitsland, met een maximale diepte van 190 m. De Königssee is 7,7 km lang. Vrijwel heel het meer ligt in het Nationaal Park Berchtesgaden. Het landschap is vandaag de dag nog net zo onberoerd en betoverend als in de tijd van de koningen. Omgeven door hoge rotswanden ligt de smaragdgroene Königssee als een fjord temidden van de Beierse Alpen. De bedevaartskerk St. Bartholomä met zijn rode koepeldaken, het symbool van de Königsee, is enkel per electroboot bereikbaar. Wanneer de stuurman tijdens de overtocht op zijn trompet blaast, klinkt de wereldberoemde echo van de Königssee, de melodie wordt enkele seconden herhaald – verder heerst hier een heerlijke rust. De rode koepeldaken en uivormige torenkoepels sieren de buitenkant, het interieur van de barokke kerk is een weerspiegeling van de Salzburger Dom. Als in een prentenboek ligt de bedevaartkerk voor het bergpanorama van de Watzmann op een landtong in de smaragdgroene Königssee. De berg als legende omgeven van sagen. De fascinatie van de bergen is zelden duidelijker als bij het symbool van het Berchtesgadener Land. De beroemde oostwand van de Watzmann, die met zijn 1800m - vertikaal de hoogste rotswand van de Alpen is. De wand is steeds opnieuw een uitdaging voor veel bergbeklimmers. Het water van de Königssee is het schoonste meer van Duitsland en voldoet aan de kwaliteiten van drinkwater. Steile rotsen, donkere wouden, wilde ravijnen en gletsjers, maar ook bekoorlijke almen en liefelijke dalen. Flora en fauna worden in Duitsland's nationaalpark aan hun lot overgelaten. De bezoeker beleeft een andere bijna vergane wereld, die hier in stand gehouden en wetenschappelijk onderzocht wordt. Zo bewaren ze hier het heden een stuk verleden voor de toekomst. Het is wat mij betreft vrijwel het mooiste meer van de Alpen en zeker het mooiste van Duitsland.
Praias de Adão e Eva
Essas duas pequenas praias desconhecidas ou simplesmente não notadas da grande maioria da população talvez tenha nisto o seu maior charme, proxima a uma das maiores cidades da America Latina e do proprio Hemisferio Sul do Planeta, mantem seu clima de interior e paz, apesar de achar que no Verão deva ficar um pouco cheia...
Agora vejam só vocês, como as pessoas pecam pela falta de humildade, ontem postei uma foto cujo o titulo era FLORES NO MIRANTE, o titulo foi dado unica e exclusivamente no sentido Literal e "vegetativo" dos elementos do primeiro plano da foto, mas sabe como a falta de humildade de algumas pessoas (na verdade apenas duas regateiras) se auto elegendo uma flor acabaram levando a um tombo feio quando no meio dos comentarios disse que as flores eram um tipo de Tiririca do Brejo, elas pegam uma carapuça que nao serviam na cabeça e forçam a sua entrada, depois quando a carapuça rasga a culpa é minha
hihihhihihihihihihi....
Desejo um excelente sabado para o meu fiel e diario publico, mas só para aqueles que tem um coração livre de malicia e repleto de boa vontade, os outros indico o Macedo ou o Quevedo...

Alla notevole altitudine di 2.126 m s.l.m. Avers/Juf è l'insediamento abitato per tutto l'anno più alto d'Europa.
Una trentina di abitanti vivono tutto l'anno in questo villaggio sull'altipiano ai piedi del Passo Septimer e del Monte Staller.
La sopravvivevenza è dura per questi agricoltori di montagna che sfidano le temperature glaciali del lungo inverno e che hanno realizzato un percrso didattico nel mondo degli animali che vanno in letargo durante l'inverno: qui si possono ossevare le marmotte.

The Königssee is a lake located in the extreme southeast Berchtesgadener Land district of the German state of Bavaria, near the border with Austria. Large parts are comprised by the Berchtesgaden National Park.
St. Bartholomä and Watzmann
Lying within the Berchtesgaden Alps in the municipality of Schönau am Königsee, just south of Berchtesgaden and the Austrian City of Salzburg, the Königssee is Germany's third deepest lake. Located at a Jurassic rift it was formed by glaciers during the last ice age. It stretches about 7.7 km (5 mi) in the north-south direction and is about 1.7 km (1 mi) across at its widest point. Except at its outlet, the Königsseer Ache at the village of Königssee, the lake similar to a fjord is surrounded by steeply rising flanks of mountains up to 2700 m (8900 ft), including the fabled Watzmann massif in the west.
The literal translation appears to be "King's Lake", however while German: König does indeed mean "king", there had been no Bavarian kings since the days of Louis the German until Elector Maximilian I Joseph assumed the royal title in 1806. Therefore the name more probably stems from the first name Kuno of local nobles, who appear in several historical sources referring to the donation of the Berchtesgaden Provostry in the 12th century; the lake was formerly called Kunigsee.
In 1944 a subcamp of the Dachau concentration camp was located nearby where Heinrich Himmler had a residence built at Schönau for his mistress Hedwig Potthast.
The lake is noted for its clear water and is advertised as the cleanest lake in Germany. For this reason, only electric driven passenger ships, rowing and pedal boats have been permitted on the lake since 1909. Due to its picturesque setting, the lake and surrounding parklands are very popular with tourists and hikers. In addition, the lake's position surrounded by sheer rock walls creates an echo, which is known for its clarity. On boat tours, it has become traditional to stop and play a flugelhorn or trumpet to display the echo; formerly demonstrated by shooting a cannon, it could be heard reflected up to seven times.
The Basilica-Cathedral of Our Lady of the Pillar is a Roman Catholic church in the city of Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain. The Basilica venerates Blessed Virgin Mary, under her title Our Lady of the Pillar praised as Mother of the Hispanic Peoples by Pope John Paul II. It is reputed to be the first church dedicated to Mary in history (Wikipedia).

La Catedral-Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar, en Zaragoza, es un importante templo barroco de España. Según la tradición, se trata del primer templo mariano de la Cristiandad, puesto que en él se conserva y venera el pilar —en realidad, una columna de jaspe— que, según la tradición, fue puesto por la Virgen María, quien, viviendo aún en Jerusalén, se habría aparecido en carne mortal al apóstol Santiago el día 2 de enero del año 40. Documentalmente no hay pruebas de un culto mariano hasta que en 1297 —en una bula del papa Bonifacio VIII— y 1299 —una declaración de los Jurados de Zaragoza— aparezcan menciones que hablan por primera vez de la advocación del «Pilar» (Wikipedia).

Got lucky after 26262 successive shots, HEH. Thank this fella , for zipping above the reflections. I hope the mood and multiplied darkness give a foreboding sense in this picture. I hope you guys notice that there are two persons walking, and their footsteps are in tandem :)
