Menez is Maria Inês Ribeiro da Fonseca. She was born in Lisbon, in 1926. Her major body of work consists of paintings and drawnings but she also produced ceramics, engravings and silk-screen.

Menez is the author of the titles of "Rotunda" subway. If you come to Lisbon and you take the subway look to the stations. Most of them are from plastics portuguese painters very well known.

Menez was the owner of the first painting I would want to have it. It was not very expensive at that time but I haven´t enought money to buy it: I was a young student. Now I can`t too... because it´s really really expensive.
Menez left us in 1995 after a very dramatic life. We have her paintings to enjoy forever.

This place is Mouraria: a life painting.

Have a good WE

Ola Teresat

I like the building at left, breaking the patterns, on 3 levels, of 1/ regimented verticals & horizontals, 2/ colour, & 3/ tonal range. Tfs!

Hi Teresat...very nice colors and tones...you have created a great mood for this picture.

Roger

Hello Teresat,

You have educated me in the use of buildings as photographic images. You certainly present them as a painter would do. They do not have to be romantic; they stand proudly displaying shapes, strong lines, patterns, shadows and whatever you linger long enough to absorb.

I am becoming a convert!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

surprised me that there is so much houses with three or celebrates deepenings

hi Teresat

Nice Portugese style of buildings shown in this capture, with mostly housing? I believe Portugese traders came to Malacca for trade and caused some influence in Malaysia till today.

TFS, bill

An excellent mosaic my friend.
You succeed to give the atmosphere of the place so well that I can feel the noise of the streets and look at the people.
Just I'm standing, on where you did, when you shot this picture.
A real life painting created by the marvelus photographer's instinct you have.
Wonderful the colors are and the POV too.
My congratulations thanks for this feeling you offered me.
Stay very well
Your greek friend

ola teresa! another step in your project!
an almost but not quite black and white palette, with just enough colour to it to make it alive!
life in that area must be also full fo colours, traditions, smells from all over... i can almost feel it through your picture..

HAVE A NICE WE
anna

Hi dear friend,
interesting approach this time too.
Good depth of field.
Sorry about the painting.
Hope that you'll have it some day, soon :)
Have a lovely WE.

Another of your trademark telephoto cityscapes. I have to admit I'm quite drawn to the clutter of these shots, I enjoy the search for interesting windows and architecture amidst it all.
Nice work
Rew

Hola Teresat,

Preciosa captura muy bien encuadrada, me gusta mucho las texturas y colores. La composición es excelente con esa perspectiva. Muy buen trabajo.

Saludos,

Pako

Ola Teresat! Wonderful composition. Amazing lightness. Excellent colors. I love Your Lisboa! Saude!

Merhaba myfriend Teresat...
Wonderful shot and What a beautifuls colors here.Bravo...

Hello Teresat. I like the way you take a shot at architecture which is very differently. Pleasant color always looking like a painting especially in the thumbs. I guess the almost monochromatic background helps with the job. Very well done and thanks for sharing. Regards. Jusni

Olá Teresat!
Amazing view! Wonderful artistic photography.

Hi Teresat

This has a lovely gritty urban realism to it. Nicely framed and great textures captured

Karan

Olá Teresat,

Uma bela composição em que se destaca o colorido do telhado, tendo como pano de fundo o tom acinzentado dos antigos prédios que lá se encontram.

Ótima perspectiva e bom controle de luz e contraste.

Parabéns.

Abraço,
Sergio

Hello Teresat,
Again beautiful architecture shot.
Very nice composition, and what a great contrast of colors. TFS
Vandana

You can certainly see the degradation of time in this image Terasat. Well composed, good moody colours and with less zoom excellent detail. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Fire – Swirling Clouds’

Ola Teresat,
Bonita fotografia,gosto de ver arquiteturas mais antigas.
Abracos,
Ralf

Hi Teresat,
A great image of Lisbon! Can remember this kind of view when I visited Lisbon in 2003. Great photo my friend.

Ola dear Teresat.
Just a quick hello to you from Malaysia, Langkawi Island.
" See you " next week, when back in Holland.
Best regards from Jan

Hi Teresat,
This must be quite an old neighbourhood judging from the faded paints. The splash of colors from the roofs gave a nice contrast to the generally gloomy colors. Well captured and composed. Well done! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

Hi Teresat,
the crop/composition look interesting. Of particular interest to me is the nicely coloured and focused part on the lower left !

Well done.
Best regards, Daniel

Good job
Good perspective and colors
Good note
Everything is good
Thanks

Hello Teresat,
I would like to thank you for the support and assistance , advice, tips, comments & critiques on my shots and I believe you will continue to do so. This is my tiny celebration on my crossing 1000 points but a grand appreciation to TL member. Your deeds is greatly remembered.

Cheers and Warmest Regards,

Olá Teresa!
Ao ver esta fotografia só me vem à cabeça uma música e se me permites vou partilhar contigo um excerto:

And then the past recedes
And i won't be involved
The effort to be free
Seems pointless from above
Yor're looking down at' me
I'd rather stay below
Than have you staring up at me
Is nowhere I want to go
Ay, this business of how long we try to stay alive
Why to be here you've first got to die

o compositor chama-se John Frusciante :)
Espero que tenhas gostado,
grande abraço amiga
Marco
