Photo of the Week 55 – Benitachell
Filed Under Photography on March 10, 2009 at 11:15 pm
This week I’ve chosen another scan of one of my old Olympus OM-1 shots. In this case from September 2000 in Spain on a family holiday. This particular shot was taken within walking distance of my parent’s place just outside the village of Moraira on the Costa Blanca. If you head up the mountain behind the house you end up with some lovely views of the valley below, and with a zoom lens you can pick out some of the neighbouring villages, including the small town of Benitachell. I particularly like this shot because of the layering of the small hill the village is on, and the mountains in the background. I also like the way the church is still the tallest building is the village, just like it was a hundred years ago.
Hi Bart,
Nice pic with Montgo in the background
Its a small world since I was having a few probs with my laptop whilst using the Wifi in La Marina at Ondara, Spain and experienced a Click Jack and therefore decided to do a google search for advice and info.
After reading your advice and disabling iframes in firefox I decided to advice my pal in Xabia by sending your URL that you had pics of Benitachell on your home page, weird since I used to work in Dublin and live down the road from Benitachell and often visit the Chinese after playing squash at Lemon Trees in Moraria.
Small world. To be honest I still dan’t use my laptop for on-line banking despite running Ad-AWare and AVG anti virus software since its the cursor has a weird delay and the text is delaid / slow and juddering etc.
Best regards, Martin
Hi Martin,
Thanks for much for your comment. It really is a shockingly small world sometimes! It’s been a few years since I’ve been in Moraira, but I always really enjoyed my time there, and with any luck I’ll be back again soon!
Bart.
