Riviera of the Guadaíra and water mills

| No comment


The city of Alcalá de Guadaíra has gifted natural soundings which is the Riviera of the Guadaíra, declared Natural Monument in the year 2011 and which occupies a length of about 10 kms along the Guadaíra River.

Here we can enjoy of the sights of twelve water mills of Arab origins, these industrial constructions gave a lot of activity to the local town and also to the whole of the shire, up until the XX century, when the last of them stoped its activity.


Their antiquity can be traced back to the Islamic Spanish era and the lower Middle Ages, the majority of them were refurbished and repaired in the XVIII century, giving us evidence of their importance in the local activity, in fact the city is known as Alcala of the bakers.

Accordition

My experience in photography goes back a long time, before I studied architecture at Sydney University, which were I did a formal technical training in the field. I did theory and practice, I was able to do developing of photography the old fashion way and I gained and deep understanding of the practice and theoretical aspect of it.

First of all I do enjoy photography for the sake of it although I take the subject very seriously but one must take pleasure in what he or she does, secondly I believe every situation deserve an specific approach to it, I do not stop learning, I love to do know new things and I like to experiment in photography whenever it is possible, having said that the years of experience have giving me a working method, which I may alter if suitable.

I have studied photography at Sydney University, and I have worked and collaborated with Seville local media groups specialling in the local festivities such as the hollyweek, amongst them were, “Pasion in Sevilla”, and “Semana Santa de Sevilla TV” I also run my own site for this photos called “A Paso Mudá”.
