The couple kissing under the rising sun on Gavà beach, in Baix Llobregat, in the hot summer dawn, has been the image chosen as the best La Vanguardia Reader's Photo for the month of August.
The snapshot, the work of Xavi Cabo, captures the summer atmosphere with the burning sun, the mist and the waves, at the same time that it shows a romantic love story.
The image of the Superluna del deer captured by Mari Cortés in Mijas (Málaga) was part of a large photo gallery on this astronomical phenomenon, but it stood out to the point of having been chosen as the best photograph of July.
The composition of the image stands out, with the framing of the Supermoon just above the flower and with the butterfly that seems to be observing it.
This 2023, in many places the tradition of the Ou com ball without water has had to be celebrated due to the restrictions of the drought, such as in the Pedralbes monastery in Barcelona, where Carles Roura took the photograph that was chosen as the best of the month of June.
The series of photographs of the city of Barcelona covered by low fog, especially the image of the ship and the flying cranes captured by the Observatori Fabra meteorologist, Alfons Puertas, was chosen as the best photo of the month of May.
The lame chamois, discovered by Iván Villarejo in the Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park; Cuaca, the sad little leg, photographed by Isaura Marcos in the Pedralbes monastery after failing again in her attempt to have offspring, and the kiss of the Berguedà marmots, by Emili Vilamala, were chosen as the best photographs of the month of April. It was appreciated that all three contain emotional stories starring animals.
During the month of March (and also in April) you could see many photographs published in Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia on the subject of drought in the swamps, very topical. But, the image captured by Carme Molist, in which she summarized the problem (lack of water) and the solution (rain) in the same snapshot, was chosen as the best one by combining both elements in the same landscape.
In this case, we can see the meander of the dry river Ter, on which the Romanesque sanctuary of Sant Pere de Casserres rises, and observing the scene of a woman holding an umbrella on a day that rained, but very little, insufficient to help improve the flow of the Sau reservoir. The report was titled: Sau, the already empty swamp that wants to be emptied.
"With the cold of dawn, Tibidabo woke up covered in snow, offering us a beautiful landscape." This is how Jane Maciel defined the snapshot that this emblematic mountain in Barcelona took after the last snowfall, a photograph that was chosen as the best photo of the month of February.
The image was part of the thematic photo gallery about the snowfall in the Barcelona area registered in the last days of February. In the case of Jane Maciel's snapshot, the white beauty of the landscape stands out, configuring an unusual image in the Catalan capital and reminiscent of a Christmas postcard.
Emili Vilamala captured the movement of a Rodalies convoy as it passed through the Plana de Vic, generating a play of lights and colors at dawn in the town of Malla, an image that was chosen as the best of January.
"At that moment it was about to become clear, when the sky loses its blackness and begins to see blue where the light of the train has not illuminated. Pure fantasy!" Vilamala explained.
