Hello friends of #Hive,
For one reason or another, over the last few months I drifted away from Hive without any apparent reason. Perhaps it was just the fatigue that comes after being active almost every day for several years.
Today, on a summer afternoon with unusually high temperatures across Spain, I have found the desire to write again. Just as I gradually stepped away from Hive a few months ago, I now feel motivated to take part once more in one of the photography contests in which I used to participate very actively.
It is none other than the SMARP Contest, organized by 
To take part in this week's contest, I travel back in time and space to the city of Vigo, specifically to the Christmas season, which was approximately when I stopped participating in both Hive and the SMaRP contest about seven months ago.
The photograph I am submitting this week was taken in the Vigo Estuary, where a boat completely decorated with Christmas lights illuminated the waters and created a beautiful festive scene reflected on the surface of the estuary.
Due to the intense brightness generated by the lights and their reflection on the water, I had to experiment with my phone's camera settings to achieve a sharper image. In the end, this is the photograph that I believe turned out the best and the one I chose to submit to the contest.
I hope you enjoy the photograph, and hopefully, little by little, I will regain the motivation to become an active participant on Hive once again, just as I was a year ago.
Best regards.
