I have been taking photos with a SLR camera for two decades, and in these years I have taken hundreds of thousands of images. I have them all saved.<\/p>\n

The Monument to the Galleons of Rande, one of the most famous symbols of the city of Vigo<\/a><\/rel>
\nAlways Beneficent: the monument that evokes the help of the city of Vigo to Spanish soldiers<\/a><\/rel><\/p>\n

When you've been taking photos for so long and have taken so many, it's inevitable that sometimes your lens will capture terrible events. I saw the worst of all on the night of July 24, 2013, when my camera captured photos of the derailed train at the Angrois curve<\/a>, in Santiago de Compostela. When I got home, when I enlarged some of the photos, I saw the bodies covered with blankets of some of the deceased.<\/strong> I have never published those photos out of respect for them and their families.<\/p>\n

Last Sunday I was on the terrace of the third floor of the Vigo Congress Palace, covering a political event. I had never been there and I took the opportunity to photograph the Port of Vigo from above<\/strong> (the fishing markets, the docks and the Bouzas area), as it is an opportunity that does not occur to me often . At 12:17 noon I took this photo of a part of the port<\/a>, in which there are moored deep-sea fishing boats (you can enlarge it by clicking on the image, I have linked the original in 6K):<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

When the event ended, I went back to the terrace, in case I could get some clearer photos (the day was a bit cold). I then took this other photo at 1:33 p.m.<\/a>:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The photos are very similar, only the framing changes a little. When I left the Conference Center, a Vigo Firefighters truck passed by with its sirens on<\/strong>. Later, I found that that truck had stopped at the port, and that several vehicles from the Local Police and the Civil Guard were also there. When I got home I found out that at 1:10 p.m. the body of a 78-year-old man was located floating in the port<\/a>. The body showed no signs of violence. <\/p>\n

I then looked at the two photos I had taken. Here is the enlargement of the place where the body was found in the photo I took at 12:17:<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

And here the same place in the photo at 1:33 p.m.<\/strong>. It's a little dark, but I preferred to upload the photos to Flickr without any retouching. In this photo we see the emergency vehicles:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I don't know if any of the figures seen in the first photo are of the deceased man<\/strong>, the figures are somewhat blurred and it is impossible to recognize anyone. It makes me sad to think that I have been able to capture the last moments of a person's life. Whoever you are, rest in peace.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
