[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Portugal is a beautiful and diversified country with the highest mountains with snow (like «Serra da Estrela»), the pure and hard mountainous zone (like «Trás-os-Montes»), the warm beatches («Alentejo» and «Algarve»), the historic citys («Lisbon», «Porto», «Coimbra»...)and the beautiful green plains and valleys (like the interior west of Portugal).
My post of today was taken in «Rio Maior» − district of «Leiria», near of «Fátima» Sanctuary, and of the very well known village of «Nazareth» − and is my homage to the west of Portugal zone where I spend almost all my week ends resting and... making photos.
I hope you like this my «Rhapsody in green & fog».

dear josè this is a corner of portugal i did not know and look forward to discovering perhaps later this year
there is great depth and the many overlapping layers are enchanting as is the choice of "non colours"
as usual the fog allows magical thinking and the power acbles lead one into the depth of the dream (or perhapsa out of it?)
bom dia dear friend
ciao for now
anna

Hello Jose!
Wonderful view! Beautiful colors and tones! Very nice landscape!
TFS, Best regards, Zorica

Olá Jose

This is diferrent Portugal: a rural one.Here we see our dark green and the hard landscape of Portugal land. We are almost in the stone land. Portugal is very small but it has manny different expression. I love the smog and your green capture : it´s very real. great capture and beautiful composition.

My regards

Teresat

Hi Jose
I like this combination of pastel colors and the dreamlike atmosphere. As for the power lines which usually distract, here they create a nice perspective that leads the eye

Hi Jose,
Very nice picture with nice soft tones. Like the perspective brought by the electric wires: they lead you to the horizon.
Well done,

ciao Josè.. i was in Fatima this summer.. but i dont recall the landscape after that.. we travelled by car, during the night, direction north spain!! there was a full moon.. and i remember silhouette of mountains besides the road.. and nothing more!!.. sure i passed near these places!! ;))
mood is intense here.. i dont know if Gershwin has written this rapsody.. but i like so much the title.. intriguing sight.. full of thoughts for me..
thanks
ciao Marco

Olá José,
Only you... para conseguir dar interesse a um poste e fios eléctricos. A moldura natural ficou engraçada principalmente por contrastar com o tom mais claro do nevoeiro. A cor tb ficou óptima com um ar mt misterioso e um bom dof... até parece que lá ao fundo vêm a aproximar-se o D. Sebastião.
Fica bem :) :) :)
Aida

A lovely smaller image Jose. Nicely framed by the trees and lovely misty tones of greens. TFS,
David
