Bubion & Capileira

Hey folks, I’m sorry for not posting anything the last two weeks, but I had a hectic time since my last post. Family reasons mainly, maybe I’ll post something about it on my personal blog, I don’t know yet.

So, I promosed you more pictures from Spain, right? Ok. This one is from the southern region of the Sierra Nevada, called Las Alpujarras. These are the villages of Bubion (right) and Capileira (left, the highest of the two). The picture was taken close to a third one of these villages, called Pampaneira, situated a bit lower in the valley.

As you can see these little white villages are very idyllic and seem to almost fall of the mountain’s flank. If you think this is not one of my most strongest images, then I completely agree ;-). It was a very overcast day yielding pale colors. I did some effort in Photoshop’s LAB color mode to recover the image a bit. I don’t feel like I succeeded very well in it, though. It looks more like a painting than a photograph now. I uploaded the full reselution original as well, so feel free to comment or to give suggestions on the postprocessing. I still wanted to share the picture with you to show how beautiful nature can be in that area of Spain.
