Moserrate, a photo from Lisboa, South

Photographer's Note

This is Monserrate, one of the most beutiful palaces at Sintra/ The gardens are also incredible with vegetation from all over the world.

The designer of this little romantic palace was James Knowles Jr. and it was built in 1858 on the initiative of Francis Cook, Viscount Monserrate, being one of the most interesting examples of Sintra Romanticism. A work in the Romantic-Orientalist spirit, with its great circular tower, bulbous cupolas and exotic decoration, the building recalls in particular the famous Brighton Pavilion of Nash, and English Romantic architecture.

However, as Jos� Augusto Fran鏰 says, "Monserrate has a somewhat different scenographic sense, based on a greater wealth of archaeological details", constituted by its inspirational roots which - via English sources - are grafted on to the Moghul architecture. A unique case of Romanticism in Portugal.

Hello,
I am so jealous now, because I missed this gorgeous place during mu trip to Lisbon. What a stunning architecture and would not look out of place somewhere in Arabian countries.
Good POV which allows to see the whole building and some of its surroundings. Well balanced composition with strong main subject and loads of details to discover step by step.
Very nice colors and well handled light.
Thanks for sharing and have a nice day
Kamila

Hi Kiks
What a wonderful celebration of the style and history in this beautifully ornated piece of architecture, and interesting narrative. Brilliantly caught and composed in subtle light, the colours are very saturated and pin sharp in focus. This reminds me of a postcard! Superb capture to be proud off, Congrats.
Best regards

Hi Kiks:
This is another dramatic, delicate photo from Sintra. Your use of delicate colour and light are perfect, and the composition is marvelous. I can almost feel the heat of a July day in Portugal!
Cheers,
William
