Cape Vilan (Galician: Cabo Vilán) is a rock-bound peninsula on the west coast of Galicia, Spain, located in Costa da Morte (cost of death), specifically close the village of Camariñas. The place was declared of National Interest in 1933 and today is a Natural Monument. However, near the cape was installed a wind farm and a fish farm breeding turbot.
The lighthouse of Cape Vilan indicates one of the most dangerous sections of Costa da Morte, but also one of the most beautiful. Erected 125 meters altitude and attached to the old building of the lighthouse keepers, it has a powerful light cannon that can reach 55 km. It is the oldest electric lighthouse in Spain.
In 1890, the English ship Serpent, which sailed to the Sierra Leone, sank near the cape because of a storm, perishing 173 men thar were buried in the English Cemetery (Cemiterio dos Ingleses), a short distance out Cape Vilan. (5 years and 2719 days ago)
Nice shot, but the angle doesn't work for me.
Sometimes I try something different, but it's not guarantee of touch everybody,and who knows if, somebody...
Makes me feel a bit seasick too. I think I'm a bit too conventional with my straight lines and angles though. Good luck.
No problem... It was just an attempt... I have others normals of it...
It never hurts to try outside your zone, just keep playing around
. Shooting different angles can make a photo look really interesting sometimes.
Yeah... I like to tilt the camera sometimes...
Darn fish farms are destroying the ocean ambiance everywhere. Bad news.
C´est la vie...
Howdie stranger!
