Llevo mucho tiempo sin hacer una nueva entrada en el blog. El motivo ha sido el desarrollo de una página web en la que mostrar mi trabajo fotográfico de ahora en adelante.</div>

<em>I'd like to thank all of you that have followed me through this blog for your generosity, support and the time you dedicated to my photographs. It has been a real pleasure to share them with you.</em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>From now on, you can follow me at this link:</em><br />

En los alrededores del pueblo de Riofrío de Riaza, Segovia, España, se encuentra el hayedo de La Pedrosa. Uno de los bosques de hayas más meridionales del mundo, repleto de árboles centenarios, retorcidos y con sus troncos cubiertos de musgo.</div>

Sin duda, poder unir ambas opciones en el mísmo encuadre, aporta un valor especial a la fotografía de paisaje, haciéndola más rica al poder mostrar los entornos en los que habita la fauna salvaje.<br />
<em>It's out of question that being able to have both in a single frame adds a special value to landscape photography, since you get see wildlife in direct connection with its environment.</em></div>

Es un tipo de fotografía que he trabajado muy poco hasta el momento, por lo que solo puedo mostrar unas pocas fotos. Voy a darle más importancia dentro de mi trabajo fotográfico en el futuro.<br />
<em>It's a photography type that I have barely worked so far, so I can only show a few images. I will emphasize it more in my future work.</em><br />

En este tipo de fotografía, en lugar de destacar el aspecto naturalista de lo que tenemos delante, me quiero fijar más en las formas, luces distintas, brillos, texturas, colores, sombras, reflejos y todo aquello que está en cualquier espacio natural, pero ocupando un lugar menos destacado y que ha sido englobado en el todo al que dirigimos nuestra mirada de forma habitual.<br />
<em>With this type of photography, instead of highlighting the natural aspect of what we have in front us, I want to focus on shapes, different lights, brightness, textures, colors, shadows, reflections and everything else that is part of a natural space, but takes a quieter role and is embedded in what we normally turn our eyes to as a whole.</em> </div>

<em>It is a very special place any time of the day, but if we look for the moments in the day when the sun is closer to the horizon, the lights, shadows, colors, shapes and textures create a labyrinth full of magic than invades everything in front of our eyes.</em><br />

<br />En esta fecha se cumple un año del inicio del blog. Lo empecé con ilusión y algunas dudas. No estaba seguro de poder mantener un buen ritmo de entradas, si tendría material fotográfico suficiente para ello, si interesaría a muchos aficionados a la fotografía y los viajes....<br />

<br />Ahora puedo decir que fué estupendo desarrollarlo mes a mes, buscar temas y fotos en mi archivo, obligarme a trabajar nuevos temas y por supuesto, ver que si se acercaban seguidores a echarle un vistazo. Fueron más de los que yo pensaba y muchos lo hicieron desde lugares realmente lejanos. Gracias a todos.</div>

<em>Now I can say it was great developing it month after month, searching for topics and images in my archive, forcing myself to work on new themes and of course, seeing there were people following it.

<br />Es el Martín Pescador (Alcedo atthis), una de las aves habituales en nuestros rios y lagos, con su largo pico, sus patas muy cortas y sus llamativos colores. Es un placer para observadores de aves y fotógrafos de naturaleza verle situarse en posaderos cercanos a superficies de agua clara, con el fin de lanzarse en picado para zambullirse y capturar su presa. A continuación, verle volver al posadero de partida para tragarla entera o llevarla a sus crías.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>It is the Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis), a very common bird in our rivers and lakes, with a long bill, short legs and striking colors. It is a great experience for bird watchers and nature photographers to see them stopping at a perch close to the water, waiting to dive into it to seize their prey. Afterwards they return to the perch where they eat their prey or they take it to the nest for the broods.</em></div>

El Buitre leonado (Gyps fulvus) es una ave planeadora, no se puede decir que sea realmente voladora ya que apenas mueve sus alas en vuelo. Desde el amanecer, espera las horas de mejor temperatura para elevarse, ganando altura rápidamente con movimientos mínimos de la cola, apoyándose en las corrientes térmicas y otros fenómenos aerológicos.</div>

Aprovecha esas condciones para planear y mantenerse en el aire muchs horas sin apenas consumir energía. Es capaz de volar muy alto pasando desapercibido desde el suelo.

En esta entrada las fotografías tienen solo un valor documental. En aquel rincón escondido de la selva tropical de Cape Tribulation, Queensland, Australia, lo importante no eran las fotografías, sino la posibilidad de localizar un casuario. Con suerte, ya que es un ave muy dificil de ver en su entorno, encontramos un ejemplar picoteando en un arroyo. La emoción fué total, el deseo de mirar por el visor de la cámara escaso. Había que disfrutar mirando directamente la ocasión única que estábamos viviendo.</div>

In that hidden corner of Cape Tribulation's tropical rainforest, Queensland, Australia, what really mattered weren't the pictures themselves, but locating a cassowary.

Las yubartas se alimentan solamente durante los veranos y lo hacen en las zonas polares, migrando después a zonas tropicales o subtropicales para reproducirse, pudiendo subsistir el resto del año gracias a las reservas de grasa acumuladas durante la época de alimentación. En estas migraciones pueden realizar desplazamientos de hasta 25.000 kms. al año.<br />
