A horizontal shot captures an antique copper still, or alembic, against textured cave-like walls in San Bartolomé, Spain. The still is crafted from hammered copper, showing visible rivets along its seams and a greenish patina indicative of age. It features a large, rounded central body. A long, curved copper pipe extends from the left side of the body, bending downwards and out of frame, likely towards a condenser. On the opposite side, a shorter, vertical pipe protrudes upwards, sealed with a cork stopper. To the right of the still, a prominent feature is a recess in a lighter, possibly earthen or plaster wall, filled with gnarled, dry roots or wood. Beneath and within this fuel, vivid orange and yellow embers glow brightly, indicating that the still is actively being heated for a distillation process, or was recently in use. Shadows from the burning material and the still are cast onto the light-colored wall. The wall to the left of the still is dark, rugged, and composed of irregular stone or rock formations, contrasting with the smoother texture on the right. The overall lighting is dim, suggesting an enclosed or subterranean setting. No text is visible in the image.
