Hoje darei início a uma série de imagens dedicadas a um lugar que considero um dos mais fascinantes a descobrir em Sintra: O Convento dos Capuchos. Impressiona-me, mais do que todo o complexo, a voluntária entrega a uma claustrofóbica (opinião minha) forma de viver Deus. Para começar necessitaremos de uma porta. Entramos?
Today I'll begin a series of images dedicated to a place which I consider one of the most fascinating to discover in Sintra: The Convent of Capuchos. It impresses me, more than the whole complex, the voluntary deliverance to a claustrophobic (my oppinion) way of living God. To begin we will need a door. Shall we enter?
So rustic.... Just waiting for the images in this series....

@Jen: Thank you Jen, just to let you know, part of this entrance is made of cork, as many other elements in the convent are... Hope we got our house ready pretty soon, untill then...go outside and photograph! :-)
The path is very inviting ...

@Ken McCoy: ...and the convent quite peculiar I might say in advance... :-)
wonderful capture of a entrance to a building of character!
the ajar door is certainly drawing one to enter! almost welcoming you to come in to explore what's within!
