D. Inês de Castro was the great love of D. Pedro, the fourth son of the Portuguese King Afonso IV.

D. Pedro felt in love for D. Inês, soon that he saw her. However, his father with fear of losing his son for the family of D. Inês, provided her death.

D. Pedro was rebelled against his father. Later he came to insert itself in the businesses of State, and to became the 8th king of Portugal.

As a King, D. Pedro prevented wars, enriched the country, and exerted an exemplary justice.

«Pedro e Inês» that couldn’t live together in life, rest in peace together in the sacred soil of «Mosteiro de Alcobaça» (Alcobaça Monatery).

The photo of today shows (in the deep) the tomb of D. Inês in Alcobaça Monstery. In the other side is the tomb of D. Pedro.

Olá José,
Excelente perspectiva deste pormenor do belo Mostério de Alcobaça.Boa opção pelo preto e branco.
Fica bem,

hi Jose
The black and white is very appropriate here
really adds to the feeling of age of this place.
The lighting is really nice in this photo as well and
you have handled this less than
ideal lighting situation nicely.
Nice composition. TFS!

Having this shot in monochrome makes it look like you have really gone back in time. The light from the windows hitting those benches. you can almost envision the people attending the services.
Great shot

Hola José.

Hi Jose...
Beautiful composition.!!!
Amazing catch, amazing effect, nice point of view...

Well done...
Rgd. George

Superb effect, Jose!
I like ghostly light and thin walls than we can see in windows. Thank you for the story.

Amazing structure, captured here with excellent light. The sense of haze in the air emphasises the feeling of space and height, and the awe and reverence people must have felt in centuries past.
Placement of the tomb is well done, and presents it very much in its breathtaking context. Good work!
Great shot

Hi Jose
Just love this type of photography in b&w with a touch of sepia. Great light. Old style photography at its best.

Hi Jose,
I like your slight sepia treatment to the image ... somehow it compliments the age of the church. Good lighting management under low light conditions. Well captured and composed. Well done! tfs

Hi Pedro,

A B+W photo could not get any better than this. Your usage of light and shadows here is very effective and this results in the mood and ambiance of the photo. Very sombre and very fitting for the setting.

TFS.

Alvin

Hi Master

Burak

Excelente nitidez apesar de estar num lugar escuro, parabéns meu caro.

Marco

i like the presence of people as they give a scale of how big this building is. the light is beautiful and the POV excellent.
