Description
How can you mind waiting for the bus when you have time to do some photos!? A bus stop close to my B&B in Avila Spain took me anywhere I might want to go. It was also right next to the Basilica de San Vicente. On this early morning it was mostly cloudy but with a brief break in the clouds providing beautiful lighting of the porticoed gallery. The Basilica stands on the traditional site of the martyrdom of St. Vincent at the hands of the Romans. It is considered to be one of the best examples of Romanesque architecture in Spain. But since it was constructed over the course of two centuries, it has elements of Gothic architecture as well. It was designated a National Monument in 1923.

Your framing is marvelous. You always manage the lighting so well, and it puts me right into the scene because it's very natural. Believable, and I can easily imagine myself there. l/f/c/p/g+
