I had a calm Sunday, got up very early as usual, drank a cup of hot coffee and went out for a long walk to exercise, although this time I didn't take my camera with me... So I came back earlier than usual and my wife had just finished preparing breakfast... I shared the rest of the morning with my wife and my youngest daughter, then I went to my mother's house (next door to my house by the way) and stayed there during the afternoon with her and my sister who was there visiting... In the late afternoon I returned home and remembered that January has been a delightful month for landscape photography and that I still had many of these photos in my archives waiting to be processed and shared here on #Hive with you, so this is what I dedicated the final hours of the day to...
Tuve un Domingo calmado, me levantĂ© muy temprano como siempre, bebĂ una taza de cafĂ© caliente y salĂ a dar una larga caminata para ejercitarme, aunque esta vez no llevĂ© mi cámara conmigo... AsĂ que retornĂ© más temprano de lo acostumbrado y mi esposa reciĂ©n estaba terminado de preparar el desayuno... CompartĂ el resto de la mañana con mi esposa y mi hija menor, luego fui a casa de mi madre (aledaña a mi casa por cierto) y allĂ estuve durante la tarde con ella y mi hermana quien estaba allĂ de visita... Al final de la tarde regresĂ© a mi casa y recordĂ© que Enero ha sido un mes delicioso para hacer fotografĂas de paisajes y que aĂşn tenĂa muchas de estas fotos en mis archivos esperando ser procesadas y compartidas aquĂ en #Hive con ustedes, asĂ que a esto fue lo que dediquĂ© las horas finales del dĂa...
The Montalban valley covers a relatively small space, I would say about 10 or 11 kilometers from north to south and about 6 kilometers from east to west approximately. However, the “climatic mood” of this place can be as hilariously changeable as mine (and believe me, my mood swings like a pendulum in an earthquake)... So it's common here in Montalbán to have mornings with blue or overcast and gray skies, fog, high temperatures and humidity, or even a cool wind and a bit of morning chill, all in the same week and with no previous signs for change... All this means that the already varied landscape can seem to look even more diverse day after day, even making the same place look different depending on the day you visit... And that's very good for taking pictures, indeed!...
El valle de Montalbán abarca un espacio relativamente pequeño, yo dirĂa que son unos 10 u 11 kilĂłmetros de Norte a Sur y unos 6 de Este a Oeste aproximadamente. Sin embargo, el "humor climático" de este lugar puede ser tan divertidamente cambiante como mi el mĂo (y crĂ©anme que mi humor oscila como un pĂ©ndulo en un terremoto)... AsĂ que es comĂşn que aquĂ en Montalbán tengamos mañanas con cielos azules o encapotados y grises, niebla, temperaturas y humedad altas, o incluso un viento fresco y un poco de frĂo matutino, todo en una misma semana y sin señales previas para el cambio... Todo esto trae como consecuencia que el ya variopinto paisaje pueda parece lucir aĂşn más diverso dĂa tras dĂa, haciendo incluso que un mismo lugar parezca otro segĂşn se el dĂa en el que se le visite... ¡Y eso es muy buen para hacer fotos caray!...
Not only the valley is an inexhaustible source of landscapes worthy to be explored and of course photographed, also the views from the surrounding hills give us a peripheral and eloquent vision of Montalbán... This year the dry season has arrived in a very accentuated way, so I will surely have many more days of good weather to make excursions and take pictures. I hope
sincerely hope that forest fires are not as common and extensive as in past years, as this tends to dramatically impact the appearance of the surroundings and even the local climate...
No solo el valle es una fuente inagotable de paisajes dignos de ser recorridos y por supuesto fotografiados, tambiĂ©n las vistas desde las colinas alrededor nos regalan una visiĂłn perifĂ©rica y elocuente de Montalbán... Este año la estaciĂłn seca a llegado muy acentuada, asĂ que seguramente tendrĂ© por delante bastantes dĂas más de buen clima para hacer excursiones y tomar fotos. Espero sinceramente que los incendios forestales no sean tan comunes y extensos como en años pasados, pues esto suele impactar de manera dramática el aspecto de los alrededores e incluso el clima local...
This week that starts today, it seems to me propitious to continue my rounds of excursions to places in the valley, either walking or riding my bike, so during the second half of January I will surely have more landscapes to share with you... ;)
Esta semana que comienza hoy, me parece propicia para continuar mis rondas de excursiones por lugares del valle, ya se caminado o montado en mi bicicleta, asà que durante la segunda mitad de Enero tendré más paisajes para compartir con ustedes seguramente... ;)
