PhotoFeed Contest - Cityscape Photography Round 116: Urban Chronicles [ENG/ESP]
“Everything in the street today seems soft focus.”
Irvine Welsh
Urban Chronicles
During the past Holy Week, I was touring part of the city, particularly the central and eastern areas, taking advantage of the scarce vehicular traffic and the small presence of people in the streets, except for the different temples where a multitude of parishioners were concentrated, following the traditions of these religious dates.
In the town of Santa Rosa, which I visited on Good Friday, hundreds of people flocked to its basilica, also known as the Sanctuary of the Divine Shepherdess, to participate in the activities of this day in which Christianity commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus, which is why no masses are celebrated but the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar is exposed to the view of all, and then the temples are closed until sunset on Saturday.
However, nearby, the silence and solitude of streets, avenues and residential areas was evident, a situation that I took advantage of to take some photos of the city that in other circumstances would be a little more difficult.
As I have described in previous posts, I process the original photographs using the editing tools offered in their free versions by the applications Picsart and Snapseed.
Durante la pasada Semana Santa, estuve recorriendo parte de la ciudad, particularmente el casco central y la zona este, aprovechando el escaso tráfico vehicular y la poca presencia de personas en las calles, a excepción de los diferentes templos donde se concentraba una multitud de feligreses, siguiendo las tradiciones de estas fechas religiosas.
En el poblado de Santa Rosa, al cual visité el Viernes Santo, cientos de personas acudían a su basílica, también conocida como el Santuario de la Divina Pastora, para participar de las actividades de este día en el que el cristianismo conmemora la crucifixión de Jesús, razón por la cual no se ofician misas sinó que se expone el Santísimo Sacramento del Altar a la vista de todos, para luego cerrar los templos hasta el atardecer del día sábado.
Sin embargo, en las cercanías, el silencio y la soledad de calles, avenidas y zonas residenciales era evidente, situación que aproveché para tomar algunas fotos de la ciudad que en otras circunstancias sería un poco más difícil.
Como he descrito en posts anteriores, las fotografías originales las proceso haciendo uso de las herramientas de edición que ofrecen en sus versiones gratuitas las aplicaciones Picsart y Snapseed.
All the Photos are of my Authorship, as well as the Edition of the same ones.
