Some stuff we've seen and a lot the we haven't. Very early on I had picked what I thought was the best shot. Later I realized there were too many good ones to say one was better.

On the way home from Sitges, I made a detour to the mountaintop village of 
Siurana near Tarragona. It is a truly magnificent place, and has great 
historical significance too, as it was the last Moorish fortress to fall to the 
Christians during the reconquista of Catalonia in the 12th century. Legend has 
it that the last Moorish queen (more precisely, the wife of the local Moorish 
lord) committed suicide to avoid falling into the hands of the invaders by 
jumping off the cliff on her white horse.

To stay on the historical theme, I shot this picture on film, to be more 
precise, Ilford SFX in my Fuji 645 rangefinder:
