Pena Palace 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.

dear Mikolaj Cava,
I feel dizzy,,,
the repetition of these blue and orange tiles invades into my feeling of perspective...
then I think this window looks like a space-ship flying unknown universe.
the reflected view on the glass also looks like the wonder scene on another planet.
the window is originaly opened to another out world, and the shot of window actually includes the admiration for another space.
stone walls or tiled walls may be needed to this admiration.
thank you,
Akihisa

Czolem Mikolaju!
Ladne okno, bardzo ladne Twoje odbicie w szybie. Ciekawe te wielobarwne plytki, ktorymi wylozona jest sciana. Ostrosc dobra, moze byc.
Pozdrawiam.

Nicely seen, Mikolaj. Great details and I like the off-center placement of the window to make it a subject. Good colors, too. Is that you in the reflection? My only suggestion would be to use a polarizing filter could cut down or eliminate the reflection in the window.
Mike

Cze Mikolaj!
Fajne te plytki azulejos. Fajne to okno. Ale najfajniejsze jest Twoje odbicie w szybie. Bardzo sympatyczna fota.
Pozdro!

Siema Mikolaj!
Przeliczne plytki, przeslicznie zdobione. Okno tez calkiem ciekawe. I nawet ciebie widac. A to mnie sie bardzo podoba. Fajnie widac jak kompbinujesz to zdjeciuszko.
