Photo of the Week 55 – Benitachell

This week I’ve chosen another scan of one of my old Olympus OM-1 shots. In this case from September 2000 in Spain on a family holiday. This particular shot was taken within walking distance of my parent’s place just outside the village of Moraira on the Costa Blanca. If you head up the mountain behind the house you end up with some lovely views of the valley below, and with a zoom lens you can pick out some of the neighbouring villages, including the small town of Benitachell. I particularly like this shot because of the layering of the small hill the village is on, and the mountains in the background. I also like the way the church is still the tallest building is the village, just like it was a hundred years ago.
