Early on a foggy morning, the windmills struggled to wake up.

Most of the images I made of the windmills in La Mancha were from very close, almost "intimate portraits" of these beautiful windmills. But I also made a few from far away, to contrast these gentle giants against the even bigger landscape.

In the foreground, the front wall and the entrance to an old "cave", where people lived a long time ago. In the background, the windmill they used to grind wheat to make flour.

One of those magical moments to be grateful for. On my very last day photographing these windmills, the fog showed up transforming the whole landscape. As beautiful as everything was, things got even better with the appearance of this beautiful rainbow. It quickly went away, but I was lucky enough to capture it.

Another image from my trip to La Mancha. Now that I find myself with quite a few images of the same subject, I understand why some artists just go for "Study number X" as the title. It's a struggle to find a unique description for each one of them! I personally don't like the word study, but I might have to come up with something soon.

This is one of my favorites from the first set of rough edits of the images I made in La Mancha, where I photographed the legendary Don Quixote's windmills.
Photographing Don Quixote's giants in La Mancha
in journal
I just got back after a week photographing the legendary Don Quixote's giants: the stunning windmills of La Mancha. So many good images, so many good times. This video tries to compress several days, several mornings, several nights, of photography in 22 minutes of footage and images. Hope you enjoy it.
