Segovia old town and ancient Roman Aqueduct
09/03/2016, Segovia, Spain. An aqueduct is a water supply or navigable channel constructed to convey water. In modern engineering, the term is used for any system of pipes, ditches, canals, tunnels, and other structures used for this purpose. In a more restricted use, aqueduct (occasionally water bridge) applies to any bridge or viaduct that transports water - instead of a path, road or railway - across a gap. Large navigable aqueducts are used as transport links for boats or ships. Aqueducts must span a crossing at the same level as the watercourses on each end. The word is derived from the Latin aqua ( water ) and ducere ( to lead )

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting beauty of Segovia's old town and its ancient Roman Aqueduct. The aqueduct, a magnificent engineering marvel, is a testament to the ingenuity of the past. It served as a vital water supply and navigable channel, conveying water through an intricate system of pipes, canals, and tunnels. In this image, we are transported back in time as we gaze upon the vanishing point perspective created by the diminishing arches of the aqueduct. The connection between history and architecture is palpable as we admire the stone material that has stood strong since its construction in circa 1st century Ancient Rome. The setting sun casts a warm glow over Segovia's famous castle in the background, adding to the allure of this national landmark. As incidental people traverse beneath its grand arches, one cannot help but feel humbled by their presence amidst such historical significance. Segovia's old town exudes Spanish culture with its rich heritage and UNESCO World Heritage Site status. From high above, this aerial view captures not only clear skies but also our imagination as we envision boats sailing through large navigable aqueducts that once served as crucial transport links. Ivan's skillful photography brings together all these elements into a single frame - an exquisite portrayal of Segovia's past intertwined with its present-day charm.
