Description:
Printed with a 12 inkjet printer over Hahnemühle Baryta paper. Signed certificate of authenticity.

Story:
It was 1991 driving towards the town of Llifén, when I saw this river gorge from the dirt road which was narrow, was able to take a few images, noticing that there was a bridge over the gorge.
Returned 1997, the road was paved, however tall vegetation had grown and could not have a clear view of the gorge. Only paper maps were available and had to guess how to get to the bridge. Took many images on film of the gorge, one had the perfect light, which I was able to print for an exhibition in 2x2 meters size.

Located at the bridge, discovered that some tall trees that you could see 30+ years ago were gone, and the volume of water was smaller for the same time of the year.

Fortunately, the images from the bridge came out well in spite of the harsh shadow light, however in order to have the image I wanted, had to photomontage them.
