... or mother and daugther. Which is the gender of a tower?
This picture is not a great one, especially compared with photos of some of our Portuguese friends which work I admire so much, but I wanted to show something that catched my attention.
To explain it, I copied the text on a plate there and I repeat it for you:

'The "Torre de Belem" was built by order of the, then, King Dom Manuel I between 1514 and 1520. It was built in the "Manueline" style... in homage to Saint Vincent and its purpose was to defend the Tagus' banks. In 1983, UNESCO classified it as a World Heritage site.

Good catch of this unexpected pair of towers.

Small improvement of contrast for next time.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Hi Clemente,
Great surprise to see you here again. Great double portrait of this castle. I think the Danes among us will hope the blue version is of LEGO pieces.

Tienes una capacidad increíble para convertir una foto de un lugar excesivamente y alevosamente retratado en una captura con su dosis de originalidad y sutileza ...Se nota un predominio amarillento como pequeña variación , o quizás ya no me acuerdo mucho de esos detalles sobre la torre de Belem ...En cualquier caso una muy buena foto tuya más (me gustan todas )

Saludos desde Valencia

Que beleza de foto, Clemente! Vc consegue dar originalidade a um cartão postal clássico e muito explorado. A Torre é linda e está bem retratada... Só faltam uns pastéis de Belém para complementar! Um abraço! Miguel.

Hola Clemente, se te echaba de menos, me alegro ver otra de tus fotos y esta está muy bien, el encuadre con las dos torres es muy divertida y la definición es muy buena.

Un abrazo ........ Paco

Hej Clemente,
Great shot of this famous tower and the smaller version in front is great. Well composed, you only maybe could have cropped a bit more of the sky. But good work!
Hilsner,
Lars

Hola Clemente: Ya se te echaba de menos por aquí. Me gusta la idea de jugar con los dos tamaños. Un abrazo

Hola Clemente.
No es la primera foto que veo de esta torre, pero sí de las que más me gustan.
A nivel de composición funciona muy bien, y contraponer la pequeña torre frente a la grande me parece una buena idea.

Buen trabajo.
