Story:
I was flying to Barcelona, and from the altitude I could only see clouds, and the weather report said: Rain…
Although I was discouraged, I prepared myself to visit new places. Always rain brings interesting outcomes, during and afterwards.
Sunday came along; the clouds had disappeared. We rushed up the mountain to the Montseny park and by 8AM we started taking photographs. Half an hour later most of the hikers that climbed the Montseny arrived. They watched with curiosity these two photographers with large cameras that were taking photographs of tree branches. From the distance you saw white painted trees contrasted with blue sky. The rain of the previous night had frozen and made spectacular forms, I named them Montseny in Blue and white. The image in the center shows the effect and is one of the many photographs I took with film. At midday, the sun melted all the ice, and the white beauty disappeared.
