I went on a long weekend to Valencia and stayed about 200 yards from the City of Arts and Sciences. A stunning place however it really needs winds under 4mph to be able to get reflection shots. I only had 1 night where the winds dropped below 5mph and had to take my chance.The first image is when i couldn't take any reflection images so had to turn my hand to different angles.

The shapes, symmetry and stars in #1 make it my favourite here Mark, but appreciate the reflection shots as well, especially #2.
 
Trying conditions but a super set, well done (y)
 
IMG_3355.JPG Thanks folks.This was the conditions on Sunday night so stayed in as i had a rooftop view. Yeah the wind is a pain however other images are possible with a little thought but it was the reflections i was wanting. On the downside there was an open air club type thing happening and this blocked off a full section i wanted to photograph. Just means i need to visit again now. Lol. A few different views on my flickr now.

Yeah its a great place for a visit. Easy to navigate around and loads of scenery although my visit was to see the City of Arts and Sciences which i did. Only down point was that a section was shut off for a concert of sorts and had loads of scaffolding etc. Might just need another visit to get the area i missed. Lol

Steve, you will enjoy it mate. Where will you be staying? We stayed about 200m away from there so easy to go whenever you decide.

Dunno. I am going for a 3 week road trip - after all thats what got me into photography. Planning on the Dolomites, Florence, and Cique Terre in italy. France wise, southwest plus Loir and Spain wise Valencia, Toledo and Zaragotza/Salamanca. I have 25 days over there. I just drive and check forecasts and sleep in car/hotels I find along the way. I never book anything as I need still water, last time I was in Spain there wasn't one day still enough in Valencia for reflections so I didn't bother.
