Belem Palace, a photo from Lisboa, Sud

Photographer's Note

Hi TE friends

This is the Belém Palace

I wish you a nice weekend !

The Palace situated in Belém quarter, formerly a royal palace, is nowadays the headquarters of the Portuguese Republic Presidency.

The Palace is composed by a central building completed with other five buildings with the main façade facing the gorgeous Tagus river.

Once the President of the Portuguese Republic is in the building, a green flag with the national arms
is hoisted.

Next to the Pátios dos Bichos ramp every 3rd Sunday of each month, at 11 o'clock, takes place the Solemn Changing of the Guard, performed by the Belém National Palace guard of honour.

The Palace houses nowadays the Museum of the Presidency of the Republic

Bonjour, mon ami Aires,
Très intéressante note d'accompagnement permettant de mieux apprécier la composition.
Ce Palais est admirablement mis en valeur par la végétation extérieure et par son parc paysager.
Une très belle photo.
Amitiés.

Hello Aires,
fine capture of this lovely architecture with good light and beautiful colours. I like the perfect symmetry in the foreground and the colour contrast between the pink building and the blue sky in the background.
Best wishes,

Bon Dia Aires

très belle composition. J'aime beaucoup les deux bancs à l'avant plan qui encadrent parfaitement le palace rose et le ciel magnifique qui le surplombe.

Amitiés et bon weekend

Hi Aires

Looks like an interesting Palace to me, which I would like to discover. However as you wrote, that is not possible. Good color hue contrasts and hues. Excellent composition. Thanks for your critique of my fishery port from Yan.

Ola Aires
Nice and imposing castle under a very nice light and a sky well populated by clouds. I see you are very active on the green site, putting Portugal on the world map
;-)
Have a nice day JY

Hello Aires, maybe this is one of the best photos of the Presidential Palace. The pinky façade of the palace goes very well with the blue sky. I also liked the symmetrical components. Congratulations, Tolga
