Desfiladero de Yecla

These two photos are taken at the mouth of the "Desfiladero de Yecla", a spectacular gorge between Santo Domingo and Caleruega in the Burgos district of Spain. The road passes between the cliffs and through a tunnel, whereas foot travellers get to walk through the gorge on a carefully constructed concrete passageway that runs along the rock face. More photos to follow! These photos were taken on a road trip from Madrid to Santo Domingo de Silos earlier this summer (2024). I took them on a second hand Minolta SRT 303b which, unfortunately, had a serious fault - the mirror mechanism didn't manage to retract the curtain properly when the shutter was actuated, meaning the bottom third of almost all the shots I took on three 36-exposure films was unexposed. The fault got less frequent towards the end of the third film, but nonetheless I took the camera back to the shop and they are repairing it under guarantee - and they've lent me one of the technicians' personal SRT 101 in the meantime to work with. How good is that service? I've cropped the photos down from all three films, which unfortunately in a lot of cases, means I've lost the compositions I was seeking, but I hope you enjoy the photos anyway.
