Today, 28th of february, is the Day of Andalucía. The whole region was on holiday, flags, anthem and gatherings, even if the musician looks like more that 50% forbidden  ;D

This town was very well taken care of, interesting and peculiar. People was friendly. One of them invite us to his table on the town square. Beautiful day.
  Meet the cousins

Alas, a very colorful day with great company and a gracious couple as hosts. We even had time to go to Cuco´s studio and showroom were Birna admired the prints and mix-media he so expertly creates.

Today´s MNM was not so ¨micro¨, as we were joined by another two NG members: Cgoss and Cuco de Frutos. We all happen to be first degree cousins so it was an easy call  ;D

  It started in one of the white towns in the south of Spain: Casares. Specifically in the "mirador" at the top

Easy call!  ;)

Paco and I spent the first part of the day crossing over the Rio Grande (or Rio Pedro?) to go to a wetland area on the other side of the river. I never got there, however, as I was occupied with trying to match crossing trains chased by cars of different colours. It was a long and strenuous affair before I got my images like I had envisioned them.

Barbie racing the train to Cádiz. Voigtländer 58mm f/.4 on my Zf.

Yes, we were going to the Toruños natural reserve but it was so interesting the 200 meters from the car to there...we never made it. Again  ;D

  A little something in the middle of the way

The vehicles...

  The Z9 is crazy responsive by the way, don't try it...

As close as we got but to be fair, the first bridge was closed

One more of the big things about getting together is being able to try new gear. Exploring the 400 4.5

The second image should pair nicely with the second one of the post #90!  Love them!

After the morning excursion towards the Wetland preserve, we spent some enjoyable hours in Paco's school for dancing lessons :) (not me, of course). On the return back to Paco's apartment, I convinced him to do the seven sins of photography (according to some well-known (sic) photographer) by circling over and over again the central roundabout of Valdelargrana, which is decorated by a huge monument as a homage to the local speciality of 'los salineros', the salt workers. The artwork is by Juan Gallardo and is quite photogenic in particular at night. When we had counted a sufficient number of sins, some more were added for good measure and the following photo emerged. The manly profile is of course of Paco, the designated driver.

Paco's lovely 58mm f/1.4 Nikkor ('Neo-Noct') on the full-spectrum Nikon Z5.
