Albufera Sunrise

The Sun rises over the Albufera region of Valencia, Spain on a windy morning

The Albufera is the coastal wetland area of the Valencian community and it is where the rice is grown for the Valencian Paella that we all love to eat. Here, just after sunrise the light and water simultaneously flood the rice paddy from the right side creating really cool reflections and Impressionistic movements of light. The wind on this day was gusting from 20-40 km/h and that also adds a special movement to the image.
