Jacarandas in the Carmo Square Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hi TE friends

I' decided post the second picture of this known place an create a theme for the Jacarandas Trees

I hope you appreciate It !

Included in the area of Chiado is the Largo do Carmo, with its jacarandas. In this square, stand the ruins of the Convento do Carmo, built in the century XIV, which is currently installed the Archaeological Museum of Caramel.

In front of the convent is the Chafariz do Carmo (1771), supplied by the Águas Livres Aqueduct, through the gallery of Loreto.

Half wall with the convent, is the Quarter of Caramel, owned by the National Republican Guard that had a very important role during the April 25, 1974, having been chosen by Marcello Caetano to flee the revolution, and it was the main stage of the revolution, as the site of the surrender of New State to the military. On the other side of the convent, found the former Palace Valadares, building that has had several uses. This building stands in the place where was founded the first portuguese university in the time of D. Dinis, before being transferred to Coimbra.

Among the Convento do Carmo and Valadares Palace, stands the gate of access to the Santa Justa Elevator, which binds to the Largo do Carmo Lower Pombalina, including the Street of Gold.

In this large, we find the Church of the Third Order of Our Lady of Caramel, which is usually unnoticed by a normal building of housing. In the same building, was founded the current Montepio General in the nineteenth century.

This broad has become well known for its terraces, besides being the scene of several shootings, both of fiction films or documentaries, films and commercials.

The Largo do Carmo is located in the parish of Sacramento.

Today the whole area is very well preserved, restaurants, small cafés are abundant, and even music and traditional dance are performed here during the summer

Bonjour Aires
Un joli cliché de cette place agrémentée d'une fontaine élégante et qui doit donner une impression de fraicheur les jours de canicules. L'arbre juste derrière a de superbes couleurs.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Ola Aires

Nice catch of the flowering, purple jacaranda trees. Good sharpness & colour/lighting contrasts. Parabens & obrigado!

É uma boa ideia essa do tema das Jacarandás. Já existem várias fotos no TE que na realidade podem ser agrupadas num tema. Além disso, dá também para ver como pessoas diferentes vêm o mesmo assunto.
No caso da tua foto, acho que a jacarandá está relegada para segundo plano dado que a fonte está à frente.
Já agora, corrige a localização da foto e tira o "k" do nome Lisboa!!!
Um abraço,
António

Jolie composition. J'aime particulièrement ces arbres fleuris aux couleurs incroyables qui forment une sorte de cadre à cette belle fontaine.
Amicalement

Bonjour Aires,
des couleurs vraiment pas communes par chez nous pour cet arbre.
A lui seul, il donne toute sa dimension à la photo qui pourtant ne manque pas d'autres éléments esthétiques comme cette fontaine ou encore cette vieille porte.
Des lumières très bien dodées qui font éclater les couleurs.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Hola Aires.

You did a good work with a non easy light and you show us a nice and very interesting subject with a good note. Maybe the composition is not the best one, but the whole photo works well.

Carlos.

De bien jolies couleurs et une composition fort agréable. Si je peux me permettre, il serait peut-être utile de redresser les verticales pour parfaire cette image ?
Cordialement,

Olá Aires!
Esse cantinho de Lisboa é muito simpático, agradável e bonito!
Sua foto está ótima e é uma bela homenagem ao lugar e aos jacarandás! Aqui no Brasil temos uma canção folclórica se não sei no momento se é de origem portuguesa que diz: "Meu limão, meu limoeiro, meu pé de jaracandá. Uma vez, tindolelê... outra vez, tindolalá!"
É isso aí... um grande abraço!

O convento do Carmo, hoje Museu Arqueológico é atração turística, está na história de Lisboa e vale a pena conhecê-lo de perto. Na foto porém a beleza está nos jacarandás floridos que enfeitam o cenário dando-lhes cores e vida. Parabéns, abraço

Olà Aires
The purple Jacarandas are really attractive and match perfectly to the green leaves and the clouds...
Yes, it is a pleasant area to discover which got many details to look at.
