Elche (in Spanish) or Elx (in Valencian) is a city located in the comarca of Baix Vinalopó, in the Alicante province which, in turn, is a part of the Valencian Community, Spain.

Part of the municipality is coastal but the main city is some 15 km (9.5 miles) from the Mediterranean Sea. According to the 2006 census, Elx has a population of approximately 220,000 inhabitants (called il·licitans in Valencian and ilicitanos in Spanish), ranking as the third most populated city in the Valencian Community and the second within the Alicante province. A small creek called Vinalopó flows through the city splitting it in two parts.

A bit of history

La Alcudia is 10 km from the current city's location and the immediate predecessor of current day Elx. This original location was settled by the Iberians and then occupied by Carthaginians and Romans. The latter called the city Ilici and granted it the status of colonia; after a brief Byzantine rule, the Goths took over, establishing an episcopal see.
Elx lost importance during the period of Moorish occupation, when it was moved slightly north to its present location. James II of Aragon took the city from the Moors in the 13th century, during the Reconquista. The city grew throughout the 18th century and became more important during the 19th century with the arrival of the railway and a booming industrial development of what used to be the traditional footwear industry.

Hello Maria Blanca

You've got a great idea and a good eye to see the graphic result you could obtain from this parasol.
The red gives a very strong impact, and the perfect quality of your shot enhances the composition.
Impossible to miss the thumbnail.
Very eyecatching picture, well done.

Pascale have a similar idea, with an orange version ;o)

Regards
Karine

Hello Maria,
le gros plan sur cette toile de parasol et sa structure métallique est superbe.
Le cadrage est excellent: toutes les armatures se convergent vers l'angle de la photo.
Bonne soirée
Roland

Interesting study of the parasol, Maria.
As always, you put an accent on graphical form - here
precious lines crossing each other with the longest ones
emerging from lower left and broading perspective in
diagonal direction under hot red.
Cheers,
Robi

Bonjour Maria
Une prise de vue terriblement efficace avec un superbe graphisme, des couleurs pétantes et un cadrage très soigné, bravo à toi pour cette très belle réussite!
Amicalement

Hola Maria,
he estado mirando tu galería y me ha sorprendido tu gran creatividad en las composiciones, siempre buscando el grafismo y el impacto visual, incluso a veces el misterio y la abstracción, en imágenes que hay que mirar varias veces para comprenderlas.
Eso dice mucho de tu trabajo fotográfico, y en esta foto, por ejemplo, has conseguido un excelente efecto sólo con las varillas del paraguas rojo y su geometría de curvas saliendo de la esquina inferior izquierda, que luego se expanden por todo el cuadro.
Negro sobre rojo, ¡fantástica!
Bravo, es una foto magnífica.
Un abrazo,
Josep
