[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Somewhere in the city of Evora. The Tiles (Azulejo). Orginating from the Arabic term al-zeleique meaning small, smooth and polished stone, the production of tiles in Portugal on a nationale scale began at the end of the XV century. However, it was not until the XVIII century that tiles began to invade churches, palaces, houses, gardens, fountains and staircases. Based on geometric patterns, tiles became the main feature of Portuguese decoration.

Beautiful texture, Mikolaj!
Sophisticated work with vibrant colours and your photo shows its perfectness and all the details very well. I thinks the composition could have been a bit better, I post a different crop in my workshop.
Good job, TFS!
Greetings,
Kristof

Hi Mikolaj

I like the ornate wave like patterns in the window, & superb warm vs cold color contrasts. Tfs!

Siema Mikolaju!
Wspaniala sprawa z tymi ceramicznymi plytkami w Portugalii. Te tutaj ulozone w dzielo sztuki, a nie w rzecz uzytkowa, jak sadze. Do podziwiania! I plytki, Twoja fotka.

dear Mikolaj Cava,
this is so fantastic, mysterious, illusionry and beautiful.
I especially like this colors of deep blue and tasteful orange in these tiles and the wall that is wonderful frame of you and there.
