[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is surely the best known and the most important square in Évora and surely one of the most photographed places. We can say this is the heart of the city.In front we have a national monument, a 16th century fountain, made of white marble. When this photo was taken it was very hot, but it's very common to see lots of people sitting there. In front we have the Bank of Portugal and on the left side we have lots of nice old buildings - that's an area where we can find lots of shops and cafés.Then, the Temple of Diana and the Cathedral are very close.

Olá Anabela,
obrigado para mostrar outra imagem da minha adorada Evora. Depois de viver 11 anos em Camaroes se tivesse de voltar a Europa gostaria muito de viver nessa cidade tao linda.
Esta praça è um encanto!
Alberto

Bonsoir Ana,
Très belle image, avec une belle perspective et une bonne profondeur d'image.
Un bel endroit, merci pour le partage.
Amicalement.

Hello Ana,

A great capture of "Daily Life". Point of view is excellent; with the fountain in the foreground and the people sitting at the table in the center drinking a coffee or beer.

I remember sitting at the same location drinking a coffee - I can't wait to return.

Regards,
David....

Ciao Ana,
Another great immage: a nice vision of a nice square.
Well done Ana!
Great contrast and color even if the sun was still high.
The sky looks like a watercolor...
See you soon...

Lindo lugar Ana,
as construções antigas ao lado do tema principal são muito bonitas.
O chafariz, sua cor, a pracinha tudo muito bom. O detalhe da mulher (parece que está jogando uma moeda) concluiu a composição com muita harmonia.
Parabéns,
Wagner.

Ainda ontem lá estive. Excelente.

Olá Ana,

Good capture of wonderful square with its unique designed fountain. I like harmony of colors between buildings and fountain. Including a visitor to your scene is good idea because she’s helping to us imagine the scale of your view. Congratulations.

Friendly Regards,

Ertugrul

Nossa, Ana, como me lembro da primeira vez em que estive em Évora! Cheguei por volta das 11 da noite e recordo de ter passado por baixo das arcadas situadas à esquerda, com mochila às costas, buscando um residencial, que acabei encontrando numa rua vizinha. A foto é linda e mostra o "clima" único dessa cidade encantadora, das que mais me fascinam em seu país! Abraço grande e obrigado por me fazer "viajar"! Miguel.

- A quite beautiful old fountain which throne in the medium of this place superbly enlightened by a very good light, well done!
