There's a stork's nest up top but sadly no storks this year.
This is a Spanish village; therefore wires abound!

The Spanish aren't into running wires underground?

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to slgwv ^club

It would seem not, Steve. They obv. think that if overhead wires are good enough for the good old U.S.of A. then they are good enough for Spain!

Simple, but lovely architecture. The colour of the tower contrast perfectly with the dark blue of the sky. All the best, Andy. Cheers, Joe

Thank you, Joe.
These towers owe a lot to Mudejar style (the Moslems left behind much architectural influence). It's not true that most were minarets before as they mainly date from after La Reconquista, but their legacy is palpable.

The stiff neck angle is flabbergasting !

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Léopold ^club

It was the only way to avoid a lorry (truck) just to my left and get both the steps and railings in (I was going to use it for an HFF shot but changed my mind - obviously!) and the top of the tower! Thank you, Léopold! (that's a lot of groups !)

It's the only angle I could get all the tower in, while avoiding the big truck to my left!
Thank you, Judite!

A perspective that magnifies the object to be photographed. The brick tower catches my attention when in the area where I live all of them are usually made of stone.

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Anton Cruz Carro ^club

I hadn't thought of the brick as being unusual but perhaps it is! Thank you, Anton!
