It seems I have some kinda' obssesion on ruined houses, dontcha think?
Villa Encarnación was built in the early twentieth century for Manuel Llano and his wife, Mrs. Encarnación. Originally, the house was beautifully furnished; during the civil war was fitted out as field hospital and, after this, as accommodation for prisoners of war, sentenced to hard labor in the many civil works that a postwar country needs, and their guardians. After that, the house started to fall slowly into oblivion. A sad decadence story for a beautiful house, like so many other.
I met it for the first time nine to ten years ago, during some fieldwork near Arriondas (Asturias). I took a couple of fast photos with a disposable camera, and wrote a mental note to come back someday.
It had to pass ten years for me to come back. I greeted some unfriendly horses that roam the property, and took about a dozen photos. After a hard selection process, this was the one.
I'll be honest: There are better potos of this house; you can find them in the web. So, I decided to differentiate mine from them by enhancing it a little bit.
Yours is the last word on whether I succeeded or not.

Fire Island geomorphology
I have just submitted The Island of the Lizard King's map to my gallery.
It has been a nice small proyect: It has recalled nice memories for my late childhood, challenged some of my abilities, and entertained me in this days of isolation because of the COVID-19 (Damn it!).
Also, as geologist, I couldn't help trying to find geological sense to the main island's features, something quite risky and difficult in most of the fantasy maps, that are usually designed just for aesthetic purposes, forgetting all logic and laws of physics (A wizard, or a god, did it, didn't he?)
I was going to expose my conclusions in the pictures description, but th
And I came back to her
I wrote about expectations before, and how they tend to twist and surprise the artist. This happened with my first (and only! :crying:) Daily Deviation: A photo I judged not good enough by itself, and submitted to the stock folder.
In some way, something very similar happened to a couple of images of an angel statue (that I, prosaically, titled "Cemetery angel 1" and "Cemetery angel 2") I took some years ago: They are not DD's, but, even though I sentenced them to the stock folder too, little by little, they are among the most faved and praised of my gallery.
I now all the merit is hers (well, the sculptor's...): I just framed without much
Urban Landscapes Proyect Method Improvement
During the last months, taking advantage of the little spare time I had, I've been doing the Nikon School Online Grade. Now it's time to finish it, and for that I gotta do a final proyect, consisting of eight photographs on a common theme.
I've chosen Urban Landscapes: Probably it's the one I'm more confortable with, and, back home after holidays, it's the nearest field, apart of the portrait (but my models are mainly my daughter and family, and I'd never upload photos of them).
I want to focus it like a working project, so, early this morning I took the camera and spent several hours roaming the city... and think I gotta change the method.
Invisible Man is back!
So, 'ere we are again, after a (too) long hiatus.
Job issues took me away from nearly any artistic activity almost since last spring. We have not finished the project that has occupied me more than ten hours a day for the past nine months, but we begin to see the end of it, so I have the luxury of entering into this new equinox with a new Invisible Man misadventures' strip:
This time, idea came to my mind while listening Queen's greatest hits with my daughter some weeks ago. After that, it all started to roll again...
I know it was not very successful before, but I had to do it: I needed to think in something more than concrete, quality an
