Autumn place Photo

Photographer’s Note

"The sprawling spa town of Caldas da Rainha is famous for its locally-made ceramics and thermal cures.
Riding from Óbidos to attend her father-in-law's funeral at Batalha, Queen Leonor saw peasants wallowing in mud pools as a remedy for rheumatism and arthritis. Enthused, the queen founded a free hospital in the town, which subsequently became a popular spa, reaching its peak in the late 19th century.
During the Second World War, Caldas da Rainha became home to a great number of refugees who fled to neutral Portugal from all over Europe.
What to see. Once the chapel of the Queen's Hospital, the Manueline parish church of Our Lady of Populo features a graceful bell-tower and a series of interesting azulejo glazed tiles.
Nearby. Caldas da Rainha is a good centre for excursions over this part of Portugal, for both Alcobaça and Batalha as well as Leiria and Tomar. The saltwater Lagoa de Óbidos 15 km to the west is a popular lagoon for sailing and fishing"

Ola Ama

I like the contrast between the ordered linear perspective of the receding path, & the scaattere / cluttered pigeons & leaves. Good Autumn colours. Obrigado!

Uma fotografia de Outono apresentada na Primavera! Digamos que é um bom prelúdio para o Verão que se aproxima. Isto sem falar no Inverno que já não conta. Esqueci-me de alguma estação?!!!
Gosto dos bancos vazios e da pessoa a ir embora porque se faz tarde! Está bonita.

Bonsoir Ana
j'aime beaucoup l'impression d'espace, la profondeur et la perspective dans cette photo. Jolie prise et belles couleurs d'automne (même si la photo a été prise en hiver)
amicalement

Ana,
Bela composição, realmente típica de um dia de Outono. Os pássaros ao chão e as lindas árvores contribuiram para o lindo resultado final.

Olá Ana, excelente cena de Outono, ou talvez mais de Inverno...seja como for dá para sentir bem a atmosfera de frio, enublado e folhas caídas, neste jardim quase vazio de pessoas onde a passarada é que domina. Boa perspectiva.
Fica bem,
Ricardo

Merhaba Ana, my friend...
It's a very peaceful place and wonderful scene... The point of view and the perspective are also wonderful... The soft light and the colors of the autumn are perfect... The dispersion of the pigeons on the photograph is very interesting and beautiful...
TFS...
Stay well..
Salim.
