Love the scene... Especially how the foreground compensates the background...

Every time I see your Asturias images I always think that I need to travel some days there... And living relatively close, I have no excuse...

Lovely.

Out of curiosity, how long was the exposure?

This is the kind of careful, beautifully executed shot that brings to mind Minor White's comment:

Thank you very much Eric, glad you enjoyed it :) And thank you for Minor White's comment, which brought a smile to my face in times when everyone is way too concerned with the technicalities of digital photography, number of megapixels, number of focus points, etc etc and perhaps not enough with the aesthetics of image-creating. Even though, on the other hand and to be honest, I think it was simpler back in the day to answer with an ironic (and "philosophically" intelligent, perhaps a bit flippant) remark rather than marking exposure for every frame on a notepad, and remembering exactly which data corresponded to which image...  ;D As we know, some photographers did keep great record of their exposures, some didn't: today, cameras and technology serves us very well, and we have no excuses not to know (and think about) our exif...
