Today I brought to share with you some photos which are a little different from my usual street theme and which will give us a glimpse of the inter-communal roads, rural roads or simple paths around the town centre of my town. I took these photos, at least most of them, during mornings with clear skies and intense sunlight. So because of this, the contrasts in these photos are strong and were difficult to manage in each image. However, this is something I like to edit in monochrome formats, although I rarely do it in photos with natural landscape elements like these. But I'll stop talking, and we'd better move on and look at these photos together...

Hoy traje para compartir con ustedes algunas fotos que se alejan de mi temática habitual de calle y que nos brindarán una visión de las carreteras intercomunales, caminos rurales o simples senderos alrededor del casco urbano de mi pueblo. Hice estas fotos, cuando menos la mayoría de ellas, durante las mañanas de días con cielos despejados e intensa luz solar. Entonces y debido a esto, los contrastes en estas fotos son fuertes y fueron difíciles de gestionar en cada imagen. Sin embargo, esto es algo que me gusta para editar en formatos monocromáticos, aunque rara vez lo hago en fotos con elementos de paisaje natural como estas. Pero dejaré de hablar, y mejor sigamos adelante y miremos juntos estas fotos...

Some of these roads are not always so lonely, but recently we have been facing a new fuel crisis and the gas stations in town are closed, so I have had the opportunity to travel these roads and found very few motor vehicles and only a few people on their bicycles. In addition, many of these roads are now rarely used, due to the non-use of the farmland through which they pass... Bad for the economy, but good for taking pictures, I guess!... :)

Algunos de estos caminos no están siempre así de solitarios, pero recientemente hemos estado enfrentando una nueva crisis de combustibles y las gasolineras del pueblo están cerradas, así que he tenido la oportunidad de transitar estas vías y encontrando muy pocos vehículos automotores y apenas algunas personas sobre sus bicicletas. Además, muchos de estos caminos ahora se usan muy poco, debido al desuso de las tierras de siembra las cuales atraviesan... ¡Malo para la economía, pero bueno par hacer fotos, supongo!... :)


Thank you very much for your visit and appreciation!

¡Muchas gracias por pasar y apreciar!

I figured you would like this kind of photos taken in these light conditions and turned to black and white, @victorbz friend!... hehehe :) I know you love high contrast!... Of course I'll try to take more photos like this!... Thanks for the motivating comment and your support!

Hey Jesus ! exactly my preferred light condition is the harsh light ! ;-)))
you're doing this very well

Eso también es bueno, salirse de la temática habitual y mostrar otras facetas de la fotografía, en este caso de caminos, que de paso quedaron muy bien, todas están geniales, pero siempre habrá una favorita de mi parte, me gusto la del viejo camino real

:) Gracias por la visita y por el apoyo @lanzjoseg friend!

I'm sorry to hear about the fuel crisis. It must be a nightmare, but at least it gave you the opportunity to take lovely photos 😊 Although, I'd love to see them in color 😉
