I dear TE friend

This week, I was in Bratislava to enjoy a Vegetarian Salada. I went to restaurante in the edge of the river Danubio and the view is amazing like you can see in the picture

Enjoy it !
On the left side you can see the
Bratislava Castle is the main castle of Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia.
The massive rectangular building with four corner towers stands on a quite isolated rocky hill of the Little Carpathians (Malé Karpaty) directly above the Danube river in the middle of Bratislava. It is an outstanding feature of the city.
It provides an excellent view of Bratislava, of Austria and, when there is good weather, of Vienna and Hungary. Many legends are connected with the history of the castle.
In the right side you can see
The St. Martin's Cathedral is a cathedral in Slovakia's capital, Bratislava. It is situated at the western border of the historical city center below Bratislava Castle. It is the largest and finest, as well as one of the oldest churches in Bratislava, known especially for previously being the coronation church of the Kingdom of Hungary. Currently, it is the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Bratislava. From 1995 to February 2008 it was the concathedral of the Archdiocese of Bratislava-Trnava.
******
O Castelo de Bratislava localiza-se no centro histórico da cidade de mesmo nome, capital da Eslováquia.
No alto de uma colina, em posição dominante sobre o rio Danúbio, a sua construção iniciou-se no século X.
Atualmente é a residência oficial do presidente da República.
As suas quatro torres laterais são consideradas o símbolo da cidade.
Á direita podemos ver a Catedral de St. Martin’s

Há muitas igrejas em Bratislava mas esta é a mais conhecida. Nela foram coroados os antigos reis e rainhas da Hungria Entre 1563 e 1830, foram coraodos 11 reis e mais 8 rainhas.

A missa Solene de Beethoven foi tocada pela primeira vez aqui.

Bonjour Aires
Une très belle composition avec un paysage bien mis en valeur avec une bonne luminosité. Les bâtiments aux toits rouges, le beau bâteau de croisière, le ciel peuplé de petits nuages, le tout donne un ensemble agréable à regarder.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Hello Aires
Potentially the view is really nice, but I am a bit disturbed by the centered horizon line which definately takes away impact from the photo. I think a more panoramic view by cropping both some of the sky as well as some of the river would give it a lot more punch.
Regards
Daniel

Olá Aires,
una gran fotografía de tu viaje por Bratislava, es una vista espectacular. Gran POV que nos enseña el espectacular Castillo en una perspectiva arquitectónica muy valiosa. El Danubio en primer plano nos da la profundidad de campo perfecta para viajar hacia la izquierda de la imagen hasta llegar al imponente castillo, y hacia la derecha hasta la catedral.
Fantástico trabajo!!

Un saludo, parabéns, Jordi

Olá Aires,
uma vista muito bonita essa da cidade, com o castelo forte e imponente no alto do morro, mesmo com o passar do tempo. Boas cores.
Parabéns e Abraço!

Hello Aires!
Good composition, POV and perspective! Beautiful castle on the Danube! Lovely city!
TFS, Best regards, Zorica

Hello Aires,
beautiful shot of the place I used to consider to be part of my country, but it is not true anymore. I like the presence of the small boat on the river. It gives much atmosphere.
Best regards

Hi Aires,
A wonderful sunny view over the river towards the other side with the church and the castle on the hill both well placed in the composition. I also like the bridge on the right hand side. The reflections are nice too and the boat is a lovely detail.

Olá Aires,
Ah! Novamente no laru!... Estou a brincar, imagino que foi novamente em trabalho.
A luminosidade, nitidez e cores estão fantásticas, e junto com a perspectiva muito ampla, com aquela imensidão de água brilhante à frente da colina verdejante coroada pelo castelo, torna-a muito atractiva visualmente. Tb. gosto da ponte, da torre pontiaguda, dos barcos e do céu, todos contribuem harmoniosamente para a compo.
Um abraço, José.

Olá Aires,

Interesting perspective with the reflections on the foreground balancing the image very well. The view is splendid with the castle and church spire dominating the skyline. Nice clarity and colours. This place seem old and charming. Cheers!

96, 98, 98 e truz... 100 pontos!!! Mais uma com 3 dígitos na tua galeria. É um prazer ver amigos a pontuarem tão bem. Muitos dirão que é resultado de pura caça mas eu estou em total desacordo com os que assim pensam, porque eu só dou pontos a quem os merece!
Aquela canoa, com duas pessoas que quase não se vêem, só realça a largura do Danúbio e o tamanho do barco lá atrás.

Hola Aires.
Una preciosa vista de Bratislava con su impresionante castillo en el tope de la colina y la Catedral de St. Martin’s muy bien vista con parte de la ciudad, el Danubio lo conocí en Budapest hacen unos años atrás y aquí lo captas de una manera magistral con el bote y el puente. Excelentes colores y definición así como un buen POV.
Felicitaciones.

Ola Aires,
Nice comprehensive picture of Bratislava, good hihhlights on the boat and clouds and nice clouds to populate the sky.
Have a nice day JY

Aires, I looked back over your gallery and it is awesome and the progression to where the latest pictures are is also noticable. You make great images to post here. This one may or may not be an every day sight to you but it is exotic to us. The color and detail are great, well seen and presented to us.
