[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
After a long time, I'm posting another photo of my series about the Almendres Cromlech. This one was also taken on the same day. It's situated in the countryside, near a village called Guadalupe, not far from Évora.
It dates from the 4000 - 3000 BC but it has been discovered only in the 20th century, being considered the biggest one in the Iberian Peninsula and one of the most important in Europe. It's formed by around 95 monoliths of granit (some of them engraved), forming a wide irregular circle.

Magnifique texture, la lumière est vraiment douce.

Olá Ana,

Tenho para mim que esta captura acerca deste tema é um dos melhores. Luz, cor e contraste fabulosos.
Um abraço,
Filipe

Ora aqui está um sítio que nunca visitei. Parece mágico. Tal como a tua foto. A luz está muito boa e o céu carregado é o ideal para esta foto. Aumenta a mística... Muito boa!

Ana
Linda foto. O céu, a luz, a cor, os granitos... E ainda a atmosfera de mistério... Capturastes muito bem tudo isso.
Um abraço

Olá Anabela,
sua foto está primorosa com um céu anunciando uma chuva forte. A textura das rochas também são destaques.
Parabéns e ótima semana.
Wagner.

Ana,
Very interesting. I'd certainly not heard of this area before, and I've checked out your other photos too. Thanks for the introduction!

I wonder, is there a pattern here, or are the placings apparently random? That, of course, is the one disadvantage of the "ground level" view.

Regards
Colin

An interesting photo, with good lighting Ana. I haven't seen this place before, not even heard of it. I like the dark sky, with the clouds in the background.

Regards,
David

Hi Ana,
It can be so hard to photograph scenes like this, the eye always seems to do it better. In this case you've achieved a perfect image, the composition is visually interesting and the low POV puts us in amoungst the stones. The low light gives a rich texture to the scene.
Facinating note to accompany your shot.
Bravo
cheers
Peter

hello Ana

Hello Ana,
An interesting picture and note. The rocks are very impressive and the combination of strong light and a dark sky have created a strong effect.

Ola Ana,
I like very much this site, and you present it extremely well too: the light is optimal with a threatening sky adding contrast, olors and look natural. A good note too... that is good TE material!
Greetings
Laurent

Olá Anabela,
the play of light on the stones add a lot of interest together with the good textures. Your POV with a row of them at the left and some single in the middle works fine.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Olá Anabela
É sempre um prazer ver estas imagens espantosas do Stonehenge ibérico (ou será que o Stonehenge é que é o Almendres britânico?).
Nesta vista parece um conjunto de ovos gigantes.

Bonjour Ana,
By opening this photo I discover a place which I did not know. Portugal, it is not nevertheless if far from to me. But we may see photos of different countries, we may visit it itself, there are so things to be discovered. How would say certain singer " even by running, we shall have no time to make everything "!
Thus thank you for the discovery.
best regards
daniel
