Santo Domingo's Windows Photo

Photographer’s Note

The old Santo Domingo Convent was build in the last decade of the XVIII Century. Its a National Historic Monument in Argentina, and it is the oldest building in the city of San Luis.

Its walls are detailed in this shot, showing the works of the artists who builded it. Here are two of the superior lateral windows.

Helo Patricio,
You had not easy circumstances at this photo. The sun too perpendicular, and giving bright light too lighted up of the picture. It's Better to choose morning-hours or late-afternoon. The side-light more profitably shows reliefs. Itself picture very good. This something for Krzysztof (Fis2)- windows! The nice composition, attracts the eyesight.
Greetings,
Jurek

Interesting to see the Moorish influence of Andalusian art in this monument (see the Alahmbra from Granada in Spain)... I'm particularly intigued by the arabian-language-like characters inhere! Does it mean something or is it only a copy of the letterstyle without meaning?...
