MIradouro do Castelo de S.Filipe - Part two...



Monday, 25 May 2009

Miradouro do Castelo de São Filipe

O Castelo /Pousada de São Filipe em Setúbal oferece-nos esta paisagem sobre a península de Tróia. É uma sinfonia de verdes e azuis que dão ao nosso olhar uma inegualável tranquilidade de espírito.

Rua de Santa Justa - 2 -, Lisboa

Considero especialmente esta rua de Lisboa. A paisagem urbana é valiosa. De um lado avista-se a encosta do Castelo de São Jorge e no outro está o belo elevador do Carmo. Este elevador, criado por Raoul Mesnier du Ponsard - um engenheiro português de origem francesa -  e  inaugurado em 1902 acede ao Largo do Carmo. Nas varandas superiores avistam-se paisagens maravilhosas sobre a baixa lisboeta.

Contrast with colours...

Entry into the April 2009 Proud Photography competition. My son entered this in the competiton which gained 4th place. It was made up from a tiny rocking chair about 120mm high, shot against pieces of brightly coloured vinyl, and Photoshoped for the final touches.

Unusual flower/plant

Does anyone know the name of this plant?

Unusual sunset clouds - zoomed in


Unusual sunset clouds taken on zoom - roof in foreground in case you were wondering what it was!
This reminds me a little of the "rings" around the planet Saturn.

Lírios amarelos

Lavender!


I really never thought Lavender looked like this close up!
If you zoom in more, it looks like tinsel.

Hungry Cockatoo



Another shot of a cockatoo... I could not resist as he is so beautiful. The 3 above are the same photo, just cropped to see different zoom for a good view. The colour is as taken by the camera.
