Sintra

Photographer's Note

Hi TE friends

During my meetings with Malgorzata, we was in the Regaleira Palace and Estate

In the WS, I post 2 pictures about the meeting

I hope you like it !

The Regaleira Palace and Estate, also known as also known as the "Palace of Monteiro the Millionaire”, was built in the beginning of the 20th century, born from the imagination of its millionaire owner António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro and the Italian architect Luigi Manini.

From dream to reality was born Regaleira Estate, a combination of several artistic and architectonical styles, from Gothic to Manueline, with a Renaissance touch. The result was an unique creation, filled with magical nooks and details that disclose the union between national History and esoteric and mythic interest, inevitably associated to the mountain range of Sintra.

From the luxuriant gardens to the numerous buildings, such as the Milhões Palace, the Santíssima Trindade Chapel, or the turrets and the small palaces, the Regaleira Estate provides an entrance in an alternative dimension that one could never guess just by looking at its main gate…
Situated next to Sintra’s historical centre, the Regaleira Estate is open every day of the week. Guided visits (scheduled in advance) at 11am, 12.30pm 14.30pm and 16pm.

OLá Aires

Os jardins parecem ser belíssimos. O palácio tem uma arquitetura austera. Com o esoterismo presente, com certeza um lugar impressionante para visitar.
Abraços

Aires,
This is a nice shot of this fine architecture. The upward view works well using the deep blue sky to provide a backdrop for the shot. The trees provide nice framing for the scene. The lighting and colors are fine and the photo has good sharpness.
TFS,
Asa

Hi Aires

That is a fantastic palace, I would love to explore it, but I would need time. When to do? Good informative note and of course vibrant color hues with high sharpness. I guess taking a picture of the palace without tilted walls must be not possible as the palace is situated on a hill. However I like they way you composed and photographed the building. Well done. Thanks for your critique of my dragonfly shot.

Best regards
Urs

I´m glad you have already decided to come to Barcelona . Count on us for all you need and of course we see each other soon ! ...Anyway i ll write to you so that you make us know what your plans are and this way we can organise interesting programs !

Un abrazo ,

Miguel

Hello Aires!
That's a fancy building. Is any of this, a small tower, high tower, lace, lightning-buffer, stack :-) Of course, this is not your criticism :-) The picture is very good, nice colors and contrasts. The perspective gives back to the monumentality. So, the picture is good. Congratulations. Csaba

Este palácio é um prédio com milhares de detalhes, fico a imaginar o trabalhão que deu para construí-lo.

Um abraço,

Hello Aires,
A very beautiful view on this palace and a picture with lots of interesting details.
The façade of the palace is magnificent.
I also like the green foreground with many yellow flowers that bring us in a nice spring mood.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Aires,

Well chosen, wonderful POV :). Splendid sharpness, great colours of the sky and the field of common yellow woodsorrel (Oxalis stricta). I like the WS, the best photo I had lately. Thanks a lot!
I am already in Warsaw, fighting with the photos.
Warm regards

Malgorzata

Ola Aires

As cores estão fantasticas, bem como a composição, a quinta da Regaleira para mim é um local fantastico, já tive oportunidade de lá assitir a uma representação de Hamelt ao fim da tarde/noite e foi magico.

abraço

Good morning Aires
I have seen in this palace in the portfolio of Margaret. Of course, the staff made this place Margaret shows otherwise. I love the contrast here between the palace walls the color of deep blue skies. The sky here is doing an amazing atmosphere. I also like the architecture of the palace. Are unusual decoration of windows, galleries and roof finials. Young green and spring flowers add charm to this place. Great picture, great POV, very good colors and sharp images.
Have a nice day
Jurek
