Alminhas, a photo from Viana do Castelo, Nord

Photographer's Note

Bonjour vous tous,

Au Portugal, on rencontre fréquemment, le long des routes et chemins, les "Alminhas".

Ces petits autels, représentant des scène religieuses, souvent en azulejos, mais aussi en peinture,
permettent d'allumer une petite bougie, et de laisser une petite prière, et ou une offrande de fleur.
Quand j'était petit, ma Grand-Mére me disais, que ça permettait de se faire pardonner les pêchés de la journée.

dear armandino,

thanks for this moment in portugal, and for your grandmother's words, it made a very nice little daydream escape during my morning coffee :)

beautiful light and colours, nicely framed by the greenery.

thanks for sharing ~

Hello Dino,
Beautiful Azulejos taken under shadows that created a wonderful effect.
Nice included the leaves in green, added extra verity of tones to the whole.
With your permission I will add this to my Azulejos theme.
Regards
Ike
