Mysterious Way, a photo from Lisboa, South

Photographer's Note

More than any other ecclesiastical building in Portugal, the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos (Monastery of the Hieronymites, or the Order of Jerome) complex represents the wealth that poured into Lisbon from the colonies during the Age of Discovery. It was designated a World Heritage Site in 1983.

Begun in 1502 in Belém, the seaport near the gates of Lisbon, the monastery was built to commemorate Vasco da Gama's voyage to India and to give thanks or its success. It contains the world's most distinctive Manueline church. Richly ornate and unlike any other building in Europe, it has, among other features, columns carved in patterns inspired by the rigging of Portuguese ships laden with riches from Brazil and India.

Olá Anna,

Good and not easy light.The tunel embracing the refinement of dark colours contrasting with the textures of the stone.

Ciao Anna,
gestire la luce in questo fantastico modo non è da tutti, solo un brafo fotografo lo può fare. Composizione ben studiata, dove il gioco di luci e ombre impreziosisce la scena, già di per se suggestiva. Ottima la scelta della tonalità seppia. Complimenti, veramente un lavoro eccellente.
Ciao
Paolo

Hi, Anna
A spooky image, indeed, full of atmosphere. Very clever compo in an almost colorless image, very fit for the idea.

Hola Anna,
El buen manejo de la luz y sus sombras crean, en efecto, una atmósfera misteriosa. La luz que ilumina el final del tunel le añade profundidad a la escena. Muy buen trabajo.
Auguri,
Mirari
