Barbate on the horizon, a photo from Cadiz, Andalucia

Photographer's Note

Hello friends today I propose a walk on an endless beach with the beautiful view of the town of Barbate on the horizon, I hope you like it.Barbate (1940 to 1998 was called Barbate de Franco) is a Spanish municipality in the province of Cadiz, Andalusia. In 2010 it had 22,977 inhabitants. Its surface area is 142 km ² and has a density of 160.27 inhabitants / km ². Its geographical coordinates are 36 ° 11 'N, 5 ° 55' W. It is situated at an altitude of 14 meters and 64 kilometers from the provincial capital, Cadiz. Located on the coast near Cape Trafalgar, against which the battle took place the same name. Traditionally a fishing village has been devoted both to fishing in Moroccan fishing grounds and fishing for tuna by the traditional art of the trap. This municipality is located the Natural Park of Scrub and Salt marshes of Barbate, the natural monument Tombolo of Trafalgar, and the same Cape Trafalgar. After the Civil War, the town is re-founded the independence of Vejer de la Frontera and is now called Barbate de Franco, with a consistory itself. It was not until March 7, 1998 when he lost the Franco name by decree of the Junta de Andalucía.It has an urban core and some important districts: Zahara, Los Canos de Meca and Zahora. It has 25 kilometers of coastline, where beaches are Mangueta, Zahora, Los Canos de Meca, Mint, Our Lady of Carmen, Cañillos, Pajares and Zahara. Already in Roman times under the name of Portus Baesippo, Barbate was an important fishing port that was dedicated to the trap. Later in the Muslim era was renamed Barbat, like its river. The recapture Alfonso X the Wise and becomes dependent on Vejer de la Frontera, where the port itself. Today, still living in the purse seine fishery (trawl) and tourism, with its white sand beaches and great weather. The trap is a seasonal activity during the migratory path of tuna to the Mediterranean (from right) and return this to the Atlantic (inside) after spawning. Among the most marked in recent decades could be highlighted: the expropriation of the Sierra del Retin (including Hazas of Luck) by the Ministry of Defence in 1982, declared a Natural Park Scrub and Salt marshes of Barbate by Parliament Andalusia in 1988 and the complete breakdown of the treaty with Morocco in 1999.

Hallo angel. Landschaft an der See mit Windrädern. Gut gesehen und realisiert. Auch hier in Deutschland stehen immer mehr Windräder. Nicht alle mögen diese neue Art der Energiegewinnung. Und wenn Windräder wirklich unverzichtbar sind, sollen sie nicht vor der eigenen Haustür stehen. Viele Grüße, Wolfgang.

Hello Angel,

The diagonal lin of waves and the distance in the water allows for deepness. The towm makes contrast against the mountain. I like the view of these wind turbines looking like toothpicks planted in the mountains.

Best regards

Jacques

Bonjour Angel,

J'aime beaucoup l'ambiance qui se dégage de cette image. Le paysage semble très loin à l'horizon et on traverse une mer d'air salin pour l'admirer. Une belle composition.

The side views of the waves are beautifully presented with an artistic outcome. Superb DOF and POV with town in the distance giving contrast to the hillside. Clarity is perfect even as far back as the wind turbines on the top of the hills. Excellent color and light management combine with the angle you have chosen makes this photo very appealing to me, great job Angel!!

TFS..........Your Friend from California.........Buddy

Angel
Nota bella ed interessante.
Battaglie, guerra Civil, e poi la pesca del tonno a trappola come da noi in Sardegna ed in Sicilia a Trapani.
Il paese e le torri dell'eolico.
Scompaiono i nomi o si modificano ...ma poi i soldi vincono sempre .

Hola Angel.
Fantastico este gran panorama de la costa con la poblacion de Barbate en la distancia, los molinos eolicos aun mas lejanos, crean una imagen con tremendo DOF, precioso el efecto del oleaje en el primer plano, es un bonito trabajo en este dominante de azules.
Pasa una buena tarde.
Un abrazo.
Luis.

Hola Angel,
Seascape pictures are always enthusiastic, and with the wind-turbines on the ridge skyline the photo enriched with.
Just one comment: I'd suggest to allocate less of the picture space's to empty sky on upper part. besides this, a nice coastline scenery seen.
Ike

josepmarin (59385) 2012-06-26 3:21

Hola Ángel,
esta imagen es como una bonita postal, en la que nos ofreces la belleza de la costa y de la playa mediante un ángulo visual realmente eficaz, donde has captado una vista sensacional, muy profunda, con la ciudad al fondo, el parque de aerogeneradores, y la espuma de las olas rompiendo en la playa en el primer plano.
La luz y los colores están a un gran nivel.
Un bello trabajo, amigo mío.
Un abrazo,
Josep
