Christmas Lights ( 2 ) - Spain Bridge Photo

Photographer’s Note

Christmas Lights - Spain Bridge
Cali - Colombia
.......................................................

The spanish colony donated to the city of Cali, the Spain bridge over the river Cali, in the year 1936

It was built by the spanish engineer Antonio Casado Belmonte. At that time he informed the district headquarters Granada with Avenue Colombia.

Today, with a stoicism withstood the test of time, and for these Holidays December, has been decorated by local government, giving it glow and joy.

What is observed on the river, are figures that resemble bright trunks of sugar cane, sweet and traditional product of this region.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

With all due respect to my friends in TrekEarth, I want to dedicate this image to the entire Spanish colony in my country and all the Spanish friends to "hang" her work here on our site.

amicably, John

Hola John,
Quizás la compo de la otra sea mas lograda, principalmente porque el fondo aquí no es tan interesante, pero eses verdes y dorados son muy exquisitos y la hacen muchísimo atrayente y bella.
Un abrazo, José.

hello John,
the bright green light is quite fascinating, I must confess that so far when hearing about Christmas lights I thought more about white and red :) very interesting scene, I particularly like how the water seems to have turned bright green as well :) the technical aspects of the photo are impeccable, very nice work.

regards,
Kristine

Hola John,

Green neon lights are more effective from this side and yellow colored maize's are very attractive on water. This is an informative photo too for showing opposite site of your last post. Very good taken under difficult light conditions without any loss. A valuable dedication, congratulations. Have a nice new week.

Saludos cordiales,

Ertugrul

Hola John,
buen complemento fotográfico a tu anterior post, con este puente y su asombrosa iluminación de unos tonos verdes preciosos.
La historia del puente que explicas en tu nota es muy interesante, y por supuesto que te agradezco esa dedicatoria.
Buen trabajo, amigo mío.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Hi John. Seasons greetings. There’s no doubting the colour here ;-). That green is certainly vivid and surreal. Well captured and thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Hola John,

Muy interesante el uso de luces verdes para darle un sentido mas navideno a este puente. Me parece un lugar muy bonito con una arquitectura simple pero elegante. Buen punto de vista y detalles. Gracias John y Feliz Navidad :-)

Buenos días John,
Esta vegetación artificial es totalmente original. Es una creación artística de circunstancia y simbólica. Excelente imagen con estos colores verdes intensos. Bravo.
Buen día
Cordialmente
Joël

Hola John,

estou na dúvida entre essa e a outra foto. Ambas apresentam lindas cores intensas. O grafismo do varal sobre o rio é mais visívil nessa aqui. A cor verde dá uma sensação muito boa. Imagino que ao vivo seja ainda melhor. Belo registro!
Saludos,
Carlos

Gracias por tu dedicatoria John, por mi parte espero seguir "colgando" fotografías durante mucho tiempo.
Bonita manera teneis en Colombia de engalanar las calles (y lo que no son calles), por Navidad, muy original y llamativa. bellos colores.
Un trabajo muy inspirado.

Buen fin de semana, amigo.

Hola John.
No hay dudas que en tu anterior foto hay mas presencia de elementos importantes detrás del puente si la comparamos con esta, aquí predomina y se ve muy bien el tono verde sobre el agua del río y el puente España. Esta muy bien captada y con muy buen foco y marco.
Abrazos mi amigo.
