A favourite album this time of year is George Winston's "Winter." While caught up in the bliss of the historical Ukrainian church in Redwater, AB with gigantic snowflakes falling past my lens, the clarity and detail of every note was unmistakable. How pristine the sight, and how perfect my recollection of these fine piano melodies.

Riotinto, Huelva
El Rio Tinto recibe su nombre por el color rojo intenso de sus aguas y recorre 100 km atravesando la provincia de Huelva (Andalucía, Sur de España).
El color rojo es debido a la presencia de cationes de metales pesados erosionados por causa de la acidez de las aguas (ph tamponado de 2.4, muy ácido). La abundancia de minerales de Pirita y Calcopirita (sulfuros de hierro y cobre) y la presencia de unas extrañas bacterias acidófilas que oxidan estos minerales, generan el ácido sulfúrico que a la postre re-alimenta el proceso de lixiviado de los metales.
En el agua del rio sobreviven bacterias, microorganismos y vida en condiciones extremas, la NASA lo está estudiando y ha descrito recientemente este microsistema como el más parecido a Marte que podemos encontrar en la Tierra.
Los minerales de cobre, hierro, manganeso, …, se extraen en las explotaciones mineras de Rio Tinto desde hace 5000 años por íberos, fenicios, romanos y musulmanes, y ha sido explotada durante los dos últimos siglos por la compañía británica Rio Tinto Company Limited.
En el pequeño pueblo de Rio Tinto se pueden encontrar casas Victorianas, precisamente en los barrios que habitaron los Ingleses durante ese tiempo.
Para la visita y el recorrido del cauce del rio puedes contar con Fieldwork Riotinto (rio y minas) .
In my por English:
Rio Tinto is named for the deep red color of its waters and travels 100 km through the province of Huelva (Andalucía, southern Spain).
The red color is due to the presence of heavy metal cations eroded because the acidity of the water (pH 2.4 buffered, strongly acidic). The abundance of minerals Pyrite and Chalcopyrite (copper and iron sulfides) and the presence of strange acidophilus bacteria that oxidize these minerals, generate the sulfuric acid media that eventually re-feeds the process of leaching of metals.
In the river water surviving bacteria, microorganisms and life in extreme conditions, NASA is studying this media and has recently described this microsystem as the closest thing to Mars on Earth can find.
Copper, iron, manganese, ..., are extracted in the mines of Rio Tinto for 5000 years by Iberians, Phoenicians, Romans and Muslims, and has been exploited for the last two centuries by the British company Rio Tinto Company Limited .
In the small town of Rio Tinto Victorian houses can be found precisely in neighborhoods inhabited by the English people during that time.
To visit and travel the river bed you can count on Fieldwork Riotinto (rio and mines visits).
2017 was a good year with lots of adventures, visits to new locations, revisits to old favourites and so much more.
So, I'm leaving 2017 with one of my favourite shots from a favourite location and wishing all my friends a fabulous 2018.

It was nice to see some bats flitting around me as I walked down to the stream before sunrise this morning. I struggled to find strong images, but did quite like this one, taken as some of the trees started to be hit by the early sun.
Tres días en Riotinto, Aracena y El Rocio
Itinerario fotográfico sugerido para 3 días:
- 1er día: llegada a Aracena, Hotel Convento Aracena, y a las 16:30, en Riotinto (a 30 minutos en coche), visita guiada a las 3 explotaciones mineras a cielo abierto (Cerro Colado, Corta Atalaya y Peña de Hierro) de la mano de Fieldwork Riotinto, profesionales y muy atentos. Volver a Aracena para cenar (cerca de Jabugo, ya sabes) y dormir.
- 2do día: de nuevo a Riotinto y a las 9:00 visita personalizada (Fieldwork Riotinto) al cauce del Rio Tinto (Las Majadillas, Naya y sus vagonetas y el Nacimiento), comiendo en Riotinto, en el Restaurante La Fábrica. Retorno a Aracena y visita a la Cueva de las Maravillas. Quédate esa noche en Aracena, estarás reventado, mejor madrugar mañana para ir a El Rocio.
- 3er día: viaje a las 7:00 hasta El Rocio, Hotel La Malvasía. De Aracena al Rocío hay 2 hrs en coche. A las 9:00 visita personalizada en Land Rover al Parque Nacional de Doñana de la mano de Doñana Nature durante la mañana (te recogen del hotel y te devuelven). Comer en el Restaurante Toruño, a espaldas del hotel, sin dudarlo. La tarde permite visitar la Ermita del Rocío, empaparse de Rocío y montar en cochecito tirado por mulas para ver las Hermandades. Te apuesto a que cenas en El Toruño, y si no, ya sabes, de tapas y Manzanilla por el Rocío. A dormir y coger fuerzas para el retorno.
-Sugerencia: yo no pude hacerlo porque todos los pilotos estaban en los incendios de Galicia, pero el 4to día, al salir del Hotel, bien podrías pasar por el aeródromo AeroNiebla y contratar un paseo de 1hr en avioneta para sobrevolar el cauce del Rio Tinto, espectacular sin ninguna duda. Probablemente cogeré un AVE un sábado de estos y me iré a Sevilla (a 40 km de Niebla) para hacer el reportaje aéreo.
Todas estas referencias se encuentran fácilmente en internet.
In my poor English:
Suggested photography itinerary for 3 days:
- 1st day: arrival in Aracena, Aracena Convento Hotel, and after lunch go to Riotinto (30 minutes drive), guided tour at 16:30 to 3 open pit mines (Cerro Colado, Corta Atalaya and Peña de Hierro) of Fieldwork Riotinto hand, professional people and very attentive. Back to Aracena for dinner (near Jabugo, you know) and sleep.
- 2nd day: back to Rio Tinto for personal tour at 9:00 (Fieldwork Riotinto) to the bed of the Rio Tinto (The Majadillas, Naya and his wagons and the born point), eating at Rio Tinto, at the Factory restaurant. Aracena return for visit the Cave of Wonders. Stay the night at Aracena, you're busted, better get up early tomorrow for move to El Rocio.
- 3rd day: at 7:00 am trip to El Rocio, Hotel La Malvasía (Aracena to Rocio 2 hrs drive). At 9:00 Land Rover personal tour in the Doñana National Park, Doñana Nature's hand during the morning (pick up from the hotel and you get back). Dining at the Toruño restaurant, behind the hotel, without hesitation. At the afternoon can visit the shrine of El Rocio, Rocio and soak stroller ride pulled by mules to see the Brotherhoods. I'll bet you dinner at El Toruño, and if not, you know, tapas and “Manzanilla”. A sleep and get ready for the return.
Additional Suggestion: I could not do it because all pilots were on Galicia fires this summer, but the 4th day, when you check out, you might as well go through the AeroNiebla aerodrome and hire a 1 hr walk by plane to fly over the bed of the Rio Tinto , undoubtedly spectacular. Probably I'll take one of these Saturdays one AVE and go to Sevilla (40 km of Niebla) for air report.
All these references are easily found on the Internet.

Another Red Water image from a couple of weeks ago when the water levels were low (I suspect they are higher now!).
The last of these for now. I might be able to take some more this week, I imagine the mood of the stream will be somewhat different from last time!
A couple of close up shots of ferns that had fallen into the stream, luckily in an almost still pool. By the second the early morning sun was hitting the trees above - showing the extent to which the light can change over a few minutes. Maybe one or two to come.
In a fast flowing stream a bubble connects, oh so briefly, with a hanging stem, giving a glimpse of the world above.

A little closer in than the last one. This is quite a stable flow pattern...at least until the tide comes in!
The start of a new series of Red Water images. Most times when I go down to the stream I arrive in near darkness and wait for the light to emerge as the sky brightens. This can take some time as the stream is generally in a deep channel - the sides vary between about 1 and 5 metres - and under a dense tree canopy. In this series I am trying to capture the feeling as the brightness begins to emerge. This is a magical time, just me, the sound of running water and the occasional tapping of woodpeckers; and usually the midges haven't warmed to their task. It is a more contemplative time before the colours begin to emerge and the photography becomes more frenetic.
