A street in Evoramonte Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is my second post of Évoramonte. Situated between Évora and Estremoz, this is surely a village full of history. This is one of the few streets situated inside the walls, the old village. Maybe its preservation should be more careful (we can see these TV antennas and also the other one that exists in the castle of my previous post) but there are so many things to be found here and there aren’t usually many tourists. It’s really worth to go around and find out the small details, visit the castle and of course enjoy the wonderful scenery around because the village is situated on the top of a hill and from here the landscape seems endless. This old door on the left is one of my favourite there, that’s why I took this perspective of the street. I even caught Santa Claus because I’ve taken it before Christmas.
The day was sunny in spite of the very dark clouds in the sky.

La qualité du rendu des murs blancs est absoluement incroyable. Seules les antennes (cf. WS) cassent quelque peu le charme intemporel de cette superbe photo.

Anabela,
Os detalhes arquitetônicos dessa fotografia estão realmente excelentes. O ângulo de tomada muito bom para se observar os pequenos detalhes, como por exemplo a interseção das pedras com a parede.

Um abraço

J'aime beaucoup le contraste des lumineux murs blancs avec ce beau ciel d'automne, un peu dramatique. J'apprécie beaucoup l'ensemble de tes photos "portugaises".

Very colorful composition. These homes are pretty much similar to Indian rural houses. Very good POV.

Best,

Olá, Ana.
Gosto particularmente do sol já baixo nesta foto, cria sombras que dão profundidade à imagem. Ótima exposição e ângulo idem.

Nice shot Ana. I like the cloud on the building...it is so dramatic. The exposure of the building is great too. Well done. Sothy

Hello Ana. A photo painted with light. The walls are structured wonderful and the composition protruding. Very beautifully and worth seeing. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hi Ana,

Lovely street is really eye catching and remind me same colors from some other Mediterranean scenes. White façade, old type roof tiles and wonderful cloudy sky with some black stains are wonderful with beautiful street floor. Congratulations.

Friendly Regards,

Ertugrul

Ola Ana,
Alentejo at its best, the true charm of Portugal is imho hidden in these small villages far away from the beaches, lovely street details with excellent light revealing brilliant whites and providing dramatism against the background menacing clouds, it's a punchy picture where I also like the funny detail of the climbing Santa ;-)
Have a nice day,
JEan-Yves

Hello Ana,
Overlooking your gallery ( the last page ) i see beautiful bleu and white colours ( typical for your home country ).
But this one has something more : in the white wall one can see beautiful texture due to the skimming light. And that makes this picture so much more interesting.

albertopiubello (2591) 2007-01-17 15:53

Olà Ana,
acho que Evora è una das cidades mais lindas do Portugal. Visitei-a en 2004 e adorei.
A arquitectura è fantastica com detalhes como as pedras nas paredes, as flores vermelhas...
O ceu è maravilhoso.
Um abraço
Alberto

Olà Ana,

I have never been to Portugal :-( but from what I've seen these whitewashed buildings seem typical in the smaller towns and villages. Good contrast between the whitewash and the dark sky. You have great detail and sharpness, couple that with a fine pov and it adds up to a superb image, well done.

Abraço

Stephen

I like these buildings and your POV is very fine. I guess everyone needs to watch Tv these days. what can one do. I find power lines spoil my pics or lights or something there is always something in the times we live.
In a way these things help for they place the building and the picture in a time frame.

elmec (12194) 2007-06-18 1:46

Hello Ana!
Wow! Such a lovely photo!
Perfect composed and magic light - so hard on the white walls and contrasts with the dark clouds on the sky!
Perfect done!
Best regards!
