Day 106 El Choro

Trip into the Malaga Lake district today and we was greated by this gorge with the emerald river cut inbetween it, of course we went to the lakes they too were emerald and of course had too be swum in :)

The name "el Chor" means "the spurt" and it is where three rivers converge from the three lakes and when torrential rain poured the water was forced through this little gorge and on to the people of Malaga who were indeed afraid for their lives and possesions when this happened

In 1905 the Dam at El Choro was completed to stem and control this torrent of water and create the lucid pool you see here. Also at a similar time a train tunnel was carved through the mountain just out of shot to link Malaga with the rest of spain and cordoba. The bridge you can see infront (inbetween the two opposing walls is actually a canal!. 100metres up! and also carved through the mountain!

Another shot from Marissas River shoot

This turned out to be an even better shoot than expected as it was a lot of fun :)

Me takng the shots :)




I had scouted around for locations on the friday looking at reservoirs etc but couldnt find an area of water that was deep enough and had enough canopy. As the day was closing i had a thought about the local park and how i remember this little hidden spot behind it with the river Don running through it, turns out it couldnt have been a better spot, good canopy, right depth of water and some interest with this rock outcrop :)










I took some with the F90x but the majority of these are courtesy of the D700 and 70-200 f2.8, most at 200mm.

Will definately use this location again as long as i can find a model brave enough for the chilly water, and it was cold as ended up in trying to get the right spot for the shot, luckily there were no accidents on the day and everything kept dry :).

Ciao
