Pictures taken from the bell tower of the Valencia cathedral:

In order to locate ourselves, this is the center of Valencia, seen from my house with a 24x zoom, the tower of the Miguelete to the right is seen to us:

Once already in the top the view is spectacular, here watching towards the city of sciences and "avenida de Francia":

The luminous oval that shows between the buildings is the chain dump of the Christmas fair wheel, placed in the lot where the new Valencia stadium will be built:

Awesome shots Mr Wolf.
Seems like you found the best exposure time in nearly all of the pics, respect!

Valencia looks very beautiful, shame you don't see it more often in the international section here on SSC.
Seems a bit like it stands unjustified in the shadow of Madrid and Barcelona :(
