The Triton Arch, Palacio da Pena in the city of Sintra. In the XIX century King Consort Ferdinand Saxe Coburg-Gotha (the husband of Queen Maria II of Portugal), had his fellow German, Baron Von Eschwege, help him design and construct his dream castle. The palace is an eclectic mix of styles from around the world. Some parts look Indian, others Arabian, plus a European castle or two. Added to this are the brilliantly colored walls - daffodil yellow, sugar pink, apricot, blue tiles and some yellow domes. From the brightly colored medieval-look entrance arch, to an Arabian styled doorway and a row of monastic looking windows around the inner courtyard, it is fantastic. Nothing more so than the Triton Arch surrounded by blue tile work and surmounted by a bearded sea monster. He is seated on a shell and supports a tree, the branches of which curve around the windows above him.

dear Mikolaj Cava,
very interesting figure of Triton surpporting the tree window frame.
mythical figure is the imaginative symbol of the sculptor and people.
perhaps the designer thought that Triton just the right for the guardian god of this.
anyway excellent sculpture, and your POV is nice to capturing its characteristic.
thank you,
Akihisa

Hi Mikolaj,

Siema Mikolaj!
Faktycznie, strach sie bac. Dobry POV i kadr bardzo dobry. Ostrosc w deche.
3maj sie!

Witaj,
w starych obiektach architektonicznych fascynuje mnie zawsze zamiłowanie dawnych budowniczych do różnego rodzaju detali - ozdobników. Same w sobie są one niejednokrotnie wspaniałymi dziełami sztuki. Czasami umieszczone są nawet w ten sposób, że niełatwo je dostrzegamy. Świetnie wypatrzyłeś i sfotografowałeś to cudeńko - rybo - człowieka.
Pozdrowienia - Sławek

Czolem Mikolaj,
piekne ujecie tego ewenementu architektury,
co za pomysly i kreatywniosc w tworzeniu takich dziel sztuki.
Pozdrawiam Cezary
