Ibiza Town | Weekly Photo #61
This week’s photo was taken a couple of years ago at one of my favourite places in the world. I’ve been going to Ibiza on and off for a few years now and up until just a few days ago, we had a two-week family holiday booked for August but due to the change in government advice and quarantine rules, we had to change our plans and are now heading to the Island of Kos in Greece for a couple of weeks but as I’m going to miss visiting the White Isle this year, I decided to go ahead and share a photo taken in Ibiza.
Fujifilm X-T10 | XF18-55mm | 18mm | 1/60th Second | f/22 | ISO320
This is Ibiza’s Old Town, perched on a hilltop in the south-east of the Island, it is a town of multiple identities as by day, the traditional Spanish streets are quiet and sleepy and by night, the Island’s capital comes alive with bars, music and street performers.
I love Ibiza town and whenever we visit Ibiza Town, we always make a point of visiting Ibiza Castle which is located halfway up the hill. Up there, you’ll be greeted with panoramic views of the town and marina and if you catch it right, you can be there as the sun sets over the horizon just like I did here. Using a small aperture to help capture those sunburst rays, I snapped a few shots as the sun was setting and this was the best of the bunch.
When we travel, we like to get out and explore, so, while we’re in Greece, we will hire a car as usual and get off the beaten track. I’ll be on the lookout for landscape photo opportunities and if I manage to capture any keepers, I will be sure to post a photo or two here in the coming weeks.
Although I am hugely disappointed that we won’t be returning to Ibiza this year (yeah yeah, first world issues), I am looking forward to our trip to Greece as I haven’t been there since before we had kids. I have scheduled a couple of weekly photo posts to be published here while I am away and look forward to writing again when I return.
Until next week.
