TablasDaimiel1

Tablas de Daimiel (La Mancha), Spain

The "Tablas de Daimiel National Park"
is a nature reserve of nearly 2 hectares (5 acres):
a wetland in an arid part of Spain.

The European Union has designated it
a Special Protection Area For Birds;
the Unesco includes it in its list of Biosphere Reserves.

After some years of relative drought
–mainly due to overexploitation–
it's now, after heavier rainfall
and an emergency transfer
of water from the Tagus river,
in great splendor again.

Quite lovely, I went looking on Google satellite maps to see if I could find this exact location and struck out.

I really like the 'walk way'... leading lines that invite the observer to explore.

Nicely captured with sufficient DOF to capture the detail enough to appear as it would naturally. ( by... natural... I mean the human eye refocuses with each eye movement such that near and far always seem in focus...whereas the lens cannot... )

Nice, Daniel.
