How many times have we admired a panoramic image of a city and wondered how the photographer managed to obtain such an original and beautiful image?
Aerial images, panoramic images, landscape images.
Nowadays with the excellent photographic cameras that mount the cell phones and the optimal resolution of the digital cameras it is not such a difficult task.
Cuántas veces hemos admirado la imagen panoramica de una ciudad y nos hemos preguntado; cómo habrá el hecho el fotógrafo para obtener una imagen tan original y hermosa?
Imágenes aéreas, imágenes panorámicas, imágenes de paisajes.
En la actualidad con las excelente cámaras fotográficas que montan los celulares y la óptima resolución de las cámaras digitales no es una tarea tan difícil.
More than anything is to be in the right place at the right time.
These photos correspond to my trip to Barcelona before the coronavirurs pandemic.
I was lucky to have a clear day with a blue sky "forever" as my friends say when there are very few clouds on the horizon, or when they are so well integrated with the environment that they do not harm it, and on the contrary, they embellish it.
Más que nada es encontrarse en el lugar justo en el momento justo.
Estas fotos corresponden a mi viaje a Barcelona antes de la pandemia del coronavirurs.
Toda la suerte que me tocara un dia diáfano con un cielo color azul "para siempre" como dicen mis amigos cuando hay muy pocas nubes en el horizonte, o cuando están tan bien integrantes con el ambiente que no lo perjudican, y al contrario, lo embellecen.
Taking a panoramic picture is like enjoying the whole environment, at your fingertips. It can be a natural environment with the magnificence of its landscapes. Or it can be a city as in this case.
I am talking about Barcelona, the city that in itself is an icon of Catalan modernist architecture, a true homage to Antoni Gaudí, its main exponent.
Today I want to stop and admire it from afar. In another post I will show you other images of my tour.
Sitting from a height admiring that intense brulicar of human forms but at the same time contemplating the external architectural geometry of a great city.
We almost always walk looking at the ground. Rarely do we raise our heads and look up. Discovering details and unknown places of which we had no knowledge of their existence.
Seen from afar, Barcelona has nothing to do with that cosmopolitan city that hosts so many foreign visitors.
It appears as an orderly set of buildings arranged neatly on a flat plane with some undulations not too pronounced.
Catalans love their city. And they feel it as their own in every sense.
There is a strong sense of belonging to their culture, their architectural beauties, their history and even their independence that contrasts with Madrid's polarization.
Los catalanes aman su ciudad. Y la sienten como propia en todos los sentidos.
Hay un fuerte sentido de apartenencia hacia su cultura, sus bellezas arquitectónicas, su historia y hasta su indepentismo que se contraprone con la polarización madrilista.
Today Barcelona is a metropolis of recognized international prestige, as well as an important and attractive tourist and cultural center, not only for Europe, but also for a large part of the world, without ever ceasing to be a thriving international financial and congress center.
En la actualidad Barcelona es una metrópoli de reconocido prestigio internacional, a la vez que un importante y atractivo foco turístico y cultural, no solo para Europa, sino también para gran parte del mundo, sin dejar nunca de ser un pujante centro financiero y congresístico internacional.
