Hi dear TE friends

Place : Lisboa / Lisbon

Region: Municipality- Lisboa / Parish- Lisboa, has a municipal population of 564,477- Portugal).

Theme: Lisbon II(series), Azulejos / ceramic tiles
To see: map view

Portugal is famous for its “azulejos”, decorative ceramic tiles, which can be seen in churches, buildings, houses and even some pubs and restaurants all across the country.
You will find this beautiful building full of “azulejos”, (Graça/Lisbon)not blue and white, but yellows and browns. Its a beautiful facade.
You'll see them everywhere in Lisbon: So called “ Azulejos”, ceramic tiles used as facades of the houses or as interior decorations. Often they are composed mosaic-like to artistic wall-pictures. You'll see plenty of them just striving threw the city, but if you are intrested in this typical Portugese art, visit "Museo Nacional do Azulejo" . The “Museu Nacional do Azulejo” is a good place to visit if you have any interest in azulejos. There is an impressive collection of tiles dating from the 16th century, right up to the present day. One of the star exhibits is Portugal’s longest azure, a huge panorama of Lisbon more than 30 metres in length. The museum also explains the intricacies of how the tiles are produced.
This one was taken from here “Belvedere da Graça” -
“Graça (Lisboa)”
In these Wikipedia links, where I'm envolved you can see the beauty city of Lisbon, my city!
“Lisbon” and “Lisbon downtown”
Hope you like it.

Amazing windows. Nice colors. Good light and sharp.
Original picture.

Hi Filipe,
Wonderful architecture, very photogenic and very inviting for some serious photography. the blue colours look wonderful against that darker red, but also the long shadows make it more than interesting...great shot, i like this a lot.

Olá Filipe. Boas cores e luz. Bons detalhes dos azulejos e janelas. Well done. Paulo

Ola Filipe

Reminds me of the old Led Zeppelin album cover, to "Physical Graffiti". Good repetition of the windows, with superb colour and sharpness. Tfs!

I like the pattern and geometry of this image. All the lines and repetition make the image easy on the eye. Well done
Kath

Aqui está um tipo de foto que eu não tiraria mas, tenho de admitir, que está mesmo muito boa. O aspecto gráfico é tremendo e a repetição das portas, janelas e varandas é fantástica. Até as três floreiras ficaram muito bem ao ao darem um toque assimétrico à imagem. Gosto mesmo muito.

Hello Filipe,

Splendid facade with the wonderful windows.
Symetry and colours give a excellent composition.
The three balconies make a exception through the lovely flowers.
Very well done, thanks for sharing.

Best regards,

Olá Filipe!
Bonita foto, gosto do efeito das janelas, umas abertas, outras fechadas e os vasinhos com as flores. A composição ficou boa. Uma foto bem Portuguesa!

Oi Filipe ,
Simetria de foto melhor impossível , incrível como não falta um azulejo nessa parede :), os detalhes ficaram muito bonitos , gostei muito da variada posição das portas de dentro das janelas, parabéns!!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

hi Filipe,
superbe coup d'oeil pour exploiter ce jeu de répétitions. Le cadrage est tiré au cordeau, le bleu des fenêtres est vraiment complémentaire de la céramique brune.

Hello Filipe,
Lors de ma visite de la ville de Lisbonne, j’ai été complètement émerveillé par toutes ces belles façades, comme celle-ci, ornées d’azulejos !
Un chouette cadrage ici sur cet immeuble,
Amicalement et à bientôt,
Robert

Olá Filipe,
Perfeito o enquadramento desta foto.
Muito geométrica e com um efeito gráfico bastante interessante.
E as floreiras quebram a simetria dando algum dinamismo à composição.
Um abraço
Teresa

Olá Filipe,

é sem dúvida uma excelente captura frontal. O ângulo da luz está perfeito para realçar as texturas da parede e nesse tipo de fotografia, isso é essencial. Você enquadrou de maneira simétrica, o que acabou por trazer uma imagem prazerosa de se ver. Ótimo controle de exposição e claridade. Gostei bastante!
Abraço,
Carlos

Hi Filipe,
Wonderful uniformity to this beautifully detailed shot of the many windows. The blue light hitting the windows is magical against the detailed brick facade.
Regards, Tom

Filipe,
it isn't just Lisboa that is all about tiles. This trend got quite far even to the portuguese colonies and for such I got to see a lot of the portuguese art in tiles while living in Rio, Brasil. Although I have to confess that I have never seen there any whole building covered with tiles, at least not that type of tiles.
The graphical effect with the windows is a very good one. Good framing to focus on the graphism fo the windows surrounded by the miriads tiles.
Did you try to rectivy the image to get rid of the distortion at the sides?
Peter

Hi Filipe.
I like the repetitive pattern of the windows and their contrast against the brown wall. Well seen.
Pierre

Olá Filipe,
parece até uma pintura essa foto, mas gostei mais do detalhe dos vasos de flores em algumas janelas apenas, bem interessante. A textura da parede é curiosa também, parece um carpete.
Parabéns e Abraço!

Hello Filipe,
A daring approach to photograph this building and I think the repetitive pattern of the windows turns out really well, even somewhat artistic. You focused on the facade as the subject, excluding even the roof overhang(shadow is visible).

The details in this shot is amazing. Not only the mosaic pattern is visible, even the imperfect workmanship of the plastering can be seen.
Excellent work.

Regards
Alfred

Olá Filipe,
Uma bela fachada muito lisboeta. O efeito geométrico émuito forte, mas tb. gosto de como há cortinas fechadas, abertas e semi-abertas e dos vasos de sardinheiras floridas. O ângulo do sol é tal que dá a sensação que os azulejos têm um relevo enorme.
Perspectiva no ponto, tal como eu gosto: mantiveste um bocadinho da convergência apesar de estar quase direita. Se a correcção fosse total, daria a ideia de estar com a convergência invertida.
Um abraço, José.

Bonsoir Filipe,
Belle architecture et perpective de ce bâtiment , jolies couleurs et détails, le POV. est excellent avec une belle netteté et lumière, Bravo,
Michel

Hi Filipe,
Beautiful view... Great light, sharpness and details. Well done.
Best regards,
Ahmet

Hi Filipe!

Amazing architecture "detail" perfect framing and composition, great light managment na a very impressive graphic result. Great idea and perfect realisation! Congratulations@

Hercules

Hi Filipe,
Good frame to give an interesting graphical shot, good light and sharpness ... and with just a people at a window to give more effect.

Yes I agree with Chris, and have added it to my Album cover theme, where there's a few more with the idea. Since this goes for graphical impact, maybe worth sorting out the perspective distortion in PS.

Olá Filipe,

eu gosto desta perspectiva, ganhou em geométria no entanto perdeu um bocado no detalhe dos azulejos que também parecem ser bonitos.
Júlio Jardim

Nice play with symmetry
I didnt know that the 5 windows can create a symmetry like this,odd numbers never give such a nice effect :)
Can I add it in my windows theme?

Olá Filipe,
Bonita simetria e efeito. Só não me parece que estes azulejos sejam assim tão typical.
Mas como diria o outro, azulejos há muitos... (e bem diferentes uns dos outros).
Bom registo da diversidade de Lisboa.
Um abraço,
F

Bom dia Filipe, esta está muito bem executada. A luz está bonita e a fazer um bonito efeito de sombra e brilho na superfície dos azulejos. O enquadramento é meticuloso e bem conseguido, resultando num padrão muito agradável ao olho. Não sei se seria possível ou desejável corrigir a perspectiva - se calhar até ficava com um aspecto menos natural - mas penso que seria de considerar a hipótese. Seja como for tens aqui um excelente trabalho.
Um abraço,
ricardo

Bela geometria Filipe. Boa foto
Parabéns

Hi Filipe,
Excellent photo of this facade. I love the repetition of the windows. The Azulejos create a nice pattern as well and the light from the right hand side is very attractive. Great photo work!
