Photographer’s Note

Sabuga Fountain - Sintra

Whoever drinks of its waters, will never leave Sintra.
Built in the XVII century, this fountain's water pipes have an original breast shape that reminds us of Mother Nature's fertility. Its water has always been known for its purity and its medicinal properties, for which was commercialized during the first

half of the XIX century. There is a saying in Sintra that, whoever drinks from this fountain, will stay in Sintra forever.

Olá Paulo,
Estou a ver que tenho que ir mais vezes a Sintra. Realmente com vagar e calma ainda só estive em Monserrate (um dia destes publico aqui uma foto).
Esta fonte também está magnífica, com essa cor forte, quase fantasmagórica nesse ambiente escuro do fundo.
Parece-me faltar um pouquinho mais de luz, mas pode ser problema do meu monitor (já achei o mesmo na outra foto).
