[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
I've already told here that Serpa is full of surprises. These is one of the detailsI like there. These snakes with wings are today the symbol ot this town.I've looked for some kind of legend connecting them but it seems that the legend of Serpa doesn't have snakes. It seems this sort of snakes were very common in the Portuguese coat-of-arms and Serpa has adopted it together with a castle (because the castle of Serpa was important). Nowadays, besides being the symbol of the city hall, these snakes can be found in the historical centre. I'm showing you this example.

Ciao Ana!
You remain the queen of the blue (and white!) ;)))
Great compo and, as always is, wonderful colour.
Have a good night
Paolo

Hola Anabela.
Muy bonita la serpiente de la farola, pero yo creo más bien que representa a un dragón, no a una serpiente. Nunca había oido hablar de Serpa, pero si las farolas son así de bonitas, el resto del pueblo tiene que ser precioso. Un saludo.
Angel.

merhaba dear ana

Olá Anabela,
(Vi)vendo e aprendendo, e o TE é um sítio óptimo para isso. Com que então a serpente alada (não é um dragão?) é o símbolo de Serpa?
Tens realmente um jeito especial para estes pov contra-picados com o céu azul como fundo. Está fabulosa! Além de tudo o resto, gosto como o dragão parece estar mesmo no ar e como as nuvens estão perfeitamente ajustadas ao bicho e ao candeeiro.
Um abraço, José.

Olá Anabela,
a nitidez da luminária é um ponto forte. Seu desenho ser em forma de um dragão deixa ainda mais bonita a foto. Seria legal se não tivesse uns fios de arame amarrados no pé do dragão e próximos da parede.
Parabéns,
Wagner.

Olá Ana!
A luminária é muito comum aqui no Brasil também, mas um suporte como esse nunca vi! Achei ele muito interessante, vou proucrar dele pra colocar aqui em casa! Gostei mesmo!
Parabéns e Abraço!

Very interesting lamp post. I can't say I have ever seen one such as this. Your lighting is wonderful and the POV is great as well (not sure how you could have changed it due to the height). The clouds and the blue sky bring it to the forefront nicely too. I think you like blue and white don't you?

Hi Anabela,

Magnificent street lamp. I have never seen anything like it and a subject well worth to capture. Your composition and POV is the very best as usual and the sharpness excellent. TFS your photo of this wonderful lamp.

Cheers,

Ulf

Such an interesting detail, Ana. We would call it a dragon, in English, not a snake, because it has wings. This one looks like a lovely piece of Art Deco design. Very much the style of that period, from the 1930's and early 40's and beautiful in it's simplicity. You have presented it nicely and with a lovely sky. You seem to have positioned the line of the cloud to echo the line of the lamp. regards kevin

Olá Anabela,
that is a marvelous detail, I not sure that I would have seen it.
Great light management against the sky and good composition.
I like the good contrast.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hello Ana
very nice detail captured with good light and nice sky blue colors.Great composition and POV.Well done

Olá Ana, essas cobras com asas que você comentou são dragões :) Eles são muito utilizados em heraldica.
Gostei bastante desse detalhe, foi um otimo olhar descobri-lo.
A foto está com ótima qualidade e um belo contraste. Eu talvez tivesse feito um corte rente a estrutura da causa e asa do dragão, removendo essa aprede do lado esquerdo.

Andre

Ola Anabela,
Magnifica esta foto do candeeiro. O contraste entre cores esta excelente, assim como o enquadramento e a definicao.
O Dragao afinal sempre existe e esta em grande... eheheh.
Beijinho e bom fim de semana
Aires

Greetings from serp2000 to Serpa!
Privet, Ana,
hmm, interesting symbol,because drogon is more suth-east asian symbol. But, sorry, I don't know history of your town.
Good quality of shot! Really colours and details. TFS.
Regards from West Ural,

Serghei

Bonjour Ana!
J'ai trouvé cette image dans tes "random photos", et je m'y suis arrêtée tout naturellement, parce que je l'aime bien, dans son extrême simplicité et son élégance, avec la ligne légère du serpent ailé qui tient la lanterne dans sa gueule! Le ciel est magnifique. La note est intéressante.
Amicalement.
Marie Louise.
