Photographer’s Note

The estate has been owned by the family D'Eça since 1520. It was given to D.Maria da Silva and D. Pedro D'Eça as a wedding present in 1520 by D. Brites de Lara, marquise of Vila Real and Lady of the celebrated Quinta da Bacalhôa. As there were no direct heirs, the property passed to another family branch, the Corte-Real family, then to the Saldanha family, and then to the Melo family, Lords of Murca. The Quinta das Torres has been in the same family for six generations after being bought by Dr. Manuel Bento de Sousa in 1877.

Great shot. I like the perfect reflection on the water, the color of the water that in the upper part is more green and in the lower part is blue. Interesting also the two element: tree on the left and the biulding on the right.

Bonsoir Antonio,
Cela doit être une architecture typique de cet endroit.
Les couleurs superbes rattrapent un peu un léger manque de netteté.
Bon cadrage et magnifiques reflets.
Daniel.

Excelentes cores, e o reflexo na água ficou realmente muito bonito. A escolha da posição vertical também valorizou muito a foto.

Esta é bem mais interessante, apesar de quem conhece o local, poder fazer muito mais, com outros ângulos,etc.
Conheço bem estes locais aqui por Azeitão, quase ao lado de minha casa !
