Encoro de Belesar
Encoro de Belesar Dam in Galicia is a strong, graphic location where the concrete structure meets a steep, rugged valley. The dam itself gives you bold lines and scale, especially when you shoot from angles that show the height and curve against the surrounding terrain. Just below, the river cuts through a narrow gorge, creating depth and leading lines that pull the eye through the frame. The hills around the dam are steep and textured, which helps build layered compositions when you include both the structure and landscape. There are several accessible viewpoints along the road, making it easy to explore different angles and find a composition that works. Light can shift the feel of the scene quite a bit, with lower sun adding contrast and definition to the terrain and structure. (O Saviñao, Lugo, Galicia, Spain)
