POTD : Old sea fort at Los Cancajos

I want just about every image from 9th January 2014 to be my photo of the day. But there can only be one. BUT the others can be found here: http://photos.imb.biz/travel/lapalma/day6

The day didn't start too well - our walking trip to the Caldera was cancelled due to bad weather. So what to do? It wasn't sitting out at the pool weather so we went for a stroll along the sea front at Los Cancajos.

It took a long time to walk a short distance because every few steps there were amazing photo opportunities. It wasn't that the views were particularly special it was the sky.... and the way it interacted with the coastline. Then after the amazing ruined sea fort we came across a woman doing her morning exercises on a platform, silhouetted against that sky. You just couldn't set up a scene like that... it's is just perfect.

Walking back to the hotel we passed through the local shopping arcade. This again was something of a photographer's delight. Although this isn't an abandoned shopping centre - it felt like it. It was a chance to photograph some urban decay.

Just about all the images from this day have been processed using Nik Software to get the effects I was looking for.

Please take the time to look through the full gallery... http://photos.imb.biz/travel/lapalma/day6 - you won't be disappointed.
