Thread: Strolling through Ronda, Spain

It does makes sense. I'm usually very frustrated with the camera's inability to capture the experience of 'being there'. I get back home, look at the pictures on the computer screen, more often than not go "bah!" and ignore the pictures for months. When I have distanced myself enough from the experience, and just have a vague memory of the space, I pull up the images again and try and see how best to edit them so that they fit my memory of the place, since they never express the reality of the space anyways. Now I don't know if any of this makes sense

What an incredible place. Really well done with the entire series.

Thanks Amin, much appreciated.

I was going to add a few pictures of mine to the thread but they weren't really as great as I had remembered. Great photos Boid, sometimes my own memories are better.

Rhonda is an interesting place with both a dramatic landscape and history, with Bullfighting, Islam, Hemmingway, all contributing their parts.

Lovely images, especially the one you added later. I like how this image shows Ronda and its place in the scenery. Thanks for bringing me back there, I have fond memories of Ronda. I wonder if you ran into the guy playing Elvis on his ghetto blaster that I have encountered a few times there.

I spent all of two hours in Ronda while driving through to Granada. At the time I thought it would give me enough time to grab a few pictures and run. I wish I had stayed longer though. Would love to see your pictures.

Thank you. I didn't run into the guy with his ghetto blaster. The environment seemed more conducive to Paco deLucia playing a bolero than Elvis singing Blue Suede Shoes.

A wonderful set of images ! - I really like the first one - it draws you in !!
