Sintra | Convento dos Capuchos IV

Posted by Rui Borges (Sintra, Portugal) on 7 May 2007 in Architecture.

Entrámos.
Assalta-nos a humidade, assalta-nos a humildade, quando imaginamos o quotidiano dos que elegeram este lugar como veículo para a ascese.

Convido-vos a visitar as imagens dos dois dias anteriores que, devido à paragem durante o fim-de-semana, só hoje foram colocadas.

We are in.
Humidity assault us, humility assault us, when we imagine the daily life of those who elected this place as vehicule for ascesis.

I invite you to visit the images of the two previous days which, due to the weekend stop, only today were posted.

Parece a combinação entre o frio e o quente. O frio da entrada e o quente do interior.

@badala: Para te ser sincero acho o exterior bem mais acolhedor que o interior... :-)

Kairospix from Singapore

i think you did a good job even without the tripod as the little softness adds to the mood of the shot... too much sharpness and it would not have conveyed the shot well :)

@Kairospix: That's an oppinion...I'll return there with a tripod to clear my doubts... :-)

Really nice shot! The warm lights resemble lava running between the cracks.

@Stunner: Thanks!
Yes,lava, looks like it... :-)
The light installation is able to generate this contrast between cold and warm areas.
