Photographer's Note
The church of Santiago is of Romanesque origin though it was extended and reformed in the XIVth and XVIth century.
According to the tradition it was where they were arming themselves the gentlemen of the Order of Santiago. His tower octogonal is the unique model in the city. The church Francisco Ruiz was rebuilt on Monk's initiative, it consists of an alone ship of great extent and chapels between his buttresses, his major chapel is ochavada and of wide proportions.
The access to the interior is done by means of a small portico of renascent aesthetics but that supports the Gothic tradition in his abovedamiento of crucería.
Sight from the wall of the church of Santiago with Paramera's saw to the fund.
A WS with another capture.

Hello Charo,
Spectacular view over these red roof tops towards the contrasting distant mountains. The church is well placed in the frame. Colours and clarity are very good.

Hi Charo
A very nice capture of this old church and town - great placement of the church. It is nice how you have lined up the top of the spire just below the line of the high mountains. Well done, casper

Hola Charo,
hermosa vista de Avila, es un privilegio tener esta perspectiva arquitectónica tan detallada de la Iglesia de Santiago pero también del pintoresco conjunto de rojizos tejados, iluminados por el sol de diciembre!
Gran profundidad de campo y excelente defición y colores!
Salut, nos vemos, Jordi

Hola Charo,
nice capture of the church with all the houses around, or better so say roofs, as we see this more. The good background with the landscape and sky makes this very pleasant.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hola Charo.
Tu foto me trae muy buenos recuerdos de mi visita al lugar hacen unos años, no solo una preciosa catedral pero tambien una impresionante ciudad, tu la has captado en todo su esplendor en un dia soleado y con muy buenos contrastes de colores entre los techos de tejas, el verde del valle y el cielo azul.
Muy buena foto.
Un abrazo.

Hola Charo!
Superbe prise de vue et excellente perspective avec le paysage s'étire jusqu'a l'infini. Tous ces toits de couleurs terre diffèrent beaucoup avec les toits de chez-nous, il faut dire que nous sommes dans un pays nordique. Les couleurs sont splendides, surtout le ciel que j'aime beaucoup.
Bravo!... et bonne fin de semaine,
Emilius

Bonsoir Charo,
C'est un beau paysage commençant par ces toits rouges et s'étalant sur une grande profondeur. L'église montre largement son architecture par ailleurs bien décrite par ta note. Une image parfaite.
Bonne soirée
Amicalement

Hi Charo,
Very nice view over the roofs of the city towards the landscape and mountains in the background. The photo is enhanced by a lovely sunlight, that brings out the colours very nicely. The church has got an excellent placement in the composition. Thanks for sharing!

Bonjour, mon amie Charo,
Voilà une ville qui a su garder son caractère avec ces maisons dans l'esprit de l'époque. L'église domine fièrement la ville, et elle a de quoi être fière compte tenu de sa beauté. Merci, Charo, pour le plan serré de l'église.
Je voyage et découvre beaucoup grâce à vous.
Excellente journée.
Amitiés.

Hola Charo
Preciosa imagen de una de las Iglesias que más me gustan de Avila, tal vez por su sencillez o tal vez por el misterio que la rodea. Te dirá que el campanario es un faro. Por las noches está iluminado ya que marca el Camino de Santiago en una de las muchas rutas que atraviesan nuestra península.
De la fotografia: me encanta el color, el cielo, esas nubes... y la vista tan explendida de la zona sur de la ciudad.
Un saludo
Mer

Hi Charo,
The lovely traditional red roofs are seen in all their wonderful details as they spread across the village and on to the green countryside. The beautiful blue sky with its pretty clouds highlights the distant mountains.

Hermosa vista, bonitos colores, el encuadre con las casas y la iglesia de Santiago en primer término con el valle y las montañas de fondo hacen de tu composición una excelente postal de una tierra muy querida para mí.
Felicidades amiga Charo y gracias.
