Sunset, a photo from Leiria, North

Photographer's Note

A stunning beach, typical fishermen houses and steep cliffs over a bright blue sea have made this fishing town become a popular holiday resort, mainly due to its traditional character.
Fishermen can still be seen wearing checkered shirts and black trousers, and their wives seven layers of petticoats: you can watch them mending nets or drying fish on the beach.

O S癃io (the Site), high on a cliff above the town which can be reached by a funicular that climbs 110 metres (120 yards), leads to the tiny sanctuary of the Ermida da Mem鏎ia: according to legend, this was where the Virgin Mary saved a local nobleman, who was chasing a deer, and his horse from falling off the cliff, envolved in a sea mist, in 1182.

Bom dia Ana, espectacular imagem da Mimosa. Excelente ponto de vista agachado, dando mais impacto da sua silhueta contra as cores fant嫳ticas no c徼.

Hi Ana,
A powerful image, with this traditional fishing craft seen silhouetted against the flaming sky. I like the placement of the boat here from this low angle POV. Very fine work, Ana. Cheers.

Beautiful picture at sunset. The boat is really fantastic at it seems to emerge from nowhere in the shadow. I love this composition so close to the boat, great work!

Hi Ana
Lovely capture of the sunset with this boat. Good composition and impressive colours. I wonder why names on other sides of the boat are different...

Ola Ana,
the silhouette of the boat on the sandy and stunning beach is marvellous in contradistinction to this romantic and idyllic sunset.The boat placement in the whole frame is well managed.Very informative your note too.Well done Ana.

Regards,Danos

Hello Ana,
A strong atmosphere on the beach that night!
I adore the fine composition, where Mimosa from Nazare is a real eye-catcher...
Lovely texture in the sky and the shimmering water is attractive!
Greetings,

Hej Ana,
Its a quiet dark picture but the silouette of Mimosa is speaking to it self.

The composition together with the low pov works out very well.

After long time without joining the TE I just come-in and had to see some old friends photos - I really liked this sunset very good colour - I will probably be out of comments in the future - I prefer just to add some photos once in a while and see other people photos to relax and enjoy - good luck and good job
