This is really nice Su, the lighting from indoors adds such a warm glow to all the cold stone on the outside.

  Terrific textures and light Su! You have such wonderful and quaint scenes to view and photograph. Here in Houston we don't do a very good job of preserving the past--just more new building all the time :0(

  Absolutely fantastic, Su!!
I love the exposure you used.
The light is rich and colorful, the dark areas, nicely detailed.
What a wonderful stone construction, it looks like a castle.
I expect to see a beautiful princess on the stairs and well dressed subjects awaiting her arrival.
Just another fabulous photo from you, Su

  Dan, thank you indeed, and even more for your nice mail!!! This is really nice to have this friendly site where to share our photos and sometimes our moods!!
Many regards from Portugal, Su

Murry, although I love indeed reading from you, my little comment about the princess was for Bill, as I am sure you both have guess!! William Raco always writes like if he was making poetry, it is nice for sure!
KInd regards for you two from Ponte de Lima, Su

Oh, Murry, I will say hello to Gaby for sure! She is in a tough period of work and lots of time out of her home. That is why she comes so little to BP lately.

  Su,
As I guess you know by now, this and many others are great shots you have on here. You have a good eye for creating beautiful images. I especially appreciate the European flavor; I only got there once and loved the architecture, the culture, people, all of it! Very nice gallery!
Congratulations to you!
Jim
