Sintra National Palace, a photo from Lisboa, South

Photographer's Note

Hi dear all,

Sintra National Palace Sintra Moors Castle. It's so far and i took this one with 3x zoom.

In the WS you can see the place where I took this picture.
The Sintra National Palace (Portuguese: Pal塶io Nacional de Sintra), also called Village Palace (Pal塶io da Vila) is located in the village of Sintra, in Portugal near Lisbon.
It is the best preserved mediaeval Royal Palace in Portugal, having been inhabited more or less continuously at least from the early 15th up to the late 19th century. It is an important tourist attraction and is part of the Cultural landscape of Sintra, designated World Heritage Site by UNESCO. From Wikipedia

Consisting of various bodies built during the course of successive epochs on the so-called "Ch緌 da Oliva", the Pa蔞 da Vila de Sintra is one of the most important examples of regal architecture in Portugal and for that reason is classified as a National Monument. This gradual multiplication of buildings, with different styles, is largely responsible for the enigmatic enchantment of this ancient palace, dominated by great twin chimneys atop the kitchen that constitute as authentic ex-libris of Sintra.

I hope you like it and i wish a nice weel
.

Aires this castle is beautiful. The setting and architecture give the building old time charm. Good composition and perspective from a higher spot to capture the main building and the town surrounding it. Nice colors and sharpness.

Bonjour Aires,
Beautiful view over Sintra palace with the surrounding houses, from a impressive/high POV. The WS is good and (to me) worthy of a full post. The blue color of the house on the left, is an eye-catcher :) Good framing as well.
Cheers

Vato_Law (12732) 2007-04-08 5:22

Ol� Aires,
Fantastica perspectiva esta de Sintra com todos os telhados do casario de Sintra, e a vista do Palacio da Vila a dominarem a foto. A pra蓷 em frente ao palacio com as pessoas a parecerem formigas, as ruas envolventes, os carros, tudo conjugado parece saido de uma cria誽o da LEGO tal a perspectiva de onde tiraste esta foto.
Por acaso tenho uma foto tirada do Castelo dos Mouros parecida com esta mas esta tem bastante mais qualidade.
Fica bem.
Paulo

banyanman (7797) 2007-04-08 9:50

Hi Aires. I know the POV from where you took this, but didn't have the time to climb up there when I was in Sintra last year. I wish I did because this provides the opportunity for an impressive photograph. Good composition, exposure and sharpness. Cheers . . . David

Hi Aires,
I really like the aerial views as they let me discover so many things that are invisible when being down there.
Here you're at the right height as we can spot so many details. The composition is well chosen, with the square and the palace positioned in the centre.
The palace really stands out thanks to its white facades.
Vedrana

krysia (4222) 2007-05-25 5:23
