From Atturri to Urola (the east part of the Cantabric Sea)

It was a full moon (Wolf moon) night and I took my tripod/camera/lens and went to the beach. The sea was down and it had a very special light.

The night is going forward...

Gorgeous pics, but to me the sweet spot goes to this one.
Hendaye Plage, les "Deux Jumeaux" (or the 2 twins), well they are not exact twins but's that how they are called. Sweetmemories from my childhood summers, and even later when took my canon AS.6 to swim. Thank you

Thank you very much Roberto!

Yes, this picture is special for me also... in basque, this rock have a very interesting mitology-story... we say "Dunbar harriak" in basque. Here you hve a text about it:

"It must have been Holy Week in the sixteenth century, when the cathedral of Santa Maria in Bayonne was completed with two striking, straight, long towers. They must have started building three centuries earlier. Then the Gentiles dwelt in the Stone of Aia.

On a clear spring day, the Gentiles saw that the Christians had begun to raise a church in Bayonne with a multitude of quarries, herdsmen, chariots, oxen, and so on. The infidels, of course, and unable to see the invading Christian, have gathered round the dolmen to fill their heads. And they have unanimously decided to throw stones at the new church.

They took huge fragments of rock in their hands, and began to stone it with fury. No matter how hard you try, you can't hit Bayonne! Many were lost at sea.

To witness this attempt at stoning, in front of the Cape under L'Abadie, in Hendaia, we have been left for centuries with two great stones visible in the seawater. They're dumbbells. Pumping stones. [The word dunba means bell, bell, arran.] After a thousand years the waters are on their way; and the Christians are on their way. The church is long and wide."

In the serie about female rowing championship, I used my Sony A7 with some Olympus OM lenses. As you know, these lenses are manual lenses, so there are some pictures out of focus... one of them I like a lot. Here you have it. What do you think, I would remove it from this project or not?
