Jardim de Ajuda, a photo from Lisboa, South

Photographer's Note

I discovered this place by mistake, after I made a visit to the Ajuda Palace. It was a discovery for me, because I had no preview referece of it.

I was walking by the area and saw the sign. I was please with this visit. The bad think was I couldn´t take more pictures because I run out of memory space.
Anyway you can see in the picture the main feature of this garden.

About the JBA

The Botanical Garden of Ajuda was established in 1768, having been projected by a Italian botanical, Domingos Vandelli , come from Pádua called by king D. Jose to teach its principles. Although Lisbon have been place of many gardens that had lodged the private collection of plants coming from Africa, Asia and America, the JBA is the first Botanical Garden of Portugal designed to keep, study and collect the maximum number of species of the vegetal world. It used to had 5000 species according to a sexual system considered by Lineu, master of Vandelli.

Hola Gabriel.
Un precioso jardin, me gusta mucho la composicion. Cada uno tiene sus locuras, a mi lo que me llama mas la atencion es las escaleras y sus detalles con la estatua en el medio. Muy bien captada. La definicion esta excelente.
Felicitaciones.

Bonjour mon ami Gabriel,
Un jardin pour évoquer l’utopie d’un monde réconcilié, un jardin pour imaginer, pas à pas, l’orientation nouvelle des nations, un jardin pour rêver la paix universelle !
Un jardin merveilleux aux sculptures fantasmagoriques qui nous emmènent dans un monde étrange .
Très belle prise de vue.
Amitiés.
Philippe

tober (8797) 2005-11-08 11:10

Ola Gabriel, A foto muito bem ! Obrigado..
Maybe, you could delete the thing (I think the drainage hole of the garden) at the left bottom side of the photo.

What Art work! A stunning botanical garden with such amazing scuptures and stonework. Well presented Gabriel, and the plants around are so pretty too. Well shown, thank you.

Hola Gabriel:
Supongo que te habra sido dificil elegir que foto mandar del Jardin Botanico,todas serian buenas.
Esta ha sido una buena eleccion.
A pesar de estar sobrecargada la foto de sujetos y elementos que observar, tu POV y Composicion lo a arreglado, lo a resuelto.
Asi , me encanta la disposicion que has dado de poner la escalinata a la izquierda dando profundidad a la imagen y la fuente a la derecha junto a los arboles creandose cierta perspectiva diagonal.

Buena eleccion....
