davidx - Apr, 08 2006 10:04am I like the railway lines in front but I find the electric wires off-putting and the figures to the right of the monument are not very clear. rangutan - Apr, 08 2006 11:04am 2* taken from a bus! Did you not stop there? This is one of Portugals most important, beautiful and spectacular monuments ..... an icon it should be too but not here :- ( rangutan - Apr, 08 2006 11:04am David seriously - take a course in photography or follow basic guidlines & please help us concentrate on better quality & COMPETITIVE PHOTOGRAPHY! Jesus, nice shot but your other snaps are much better rangutan - Apr, 08 2006 11:04am Some belike the railway lines and do not know what they are REALY looking at, a symbol of the success of portugals contribution to world exploration in those hard times of sea TRAVEL! Better shot? mortimer - Apr, 08 2006 11:04am There are three others at the moment: 2 by mistybleu and 1 by polytrad. Two with details: Misty 5*? and poly 4* and the other by misty 3*... My ratings :-) terje - Apr, 08 2006 12:04pm It's harder to take good photos from a bus, than standing on the ground.... :-) frenchfrog - Apr, 08 2006 11:04pm Well 3* to me, quality is not great I agree, but not bad as came from a bus, it is for what it represents, Portugal is a nation of famous Navigators, it relates to travel. rangutan - Apr, 12 2006 07:04am Sorry for my harsh words David. The small figures at its base show the huge size of this very very impressive monument. The railway lines, the cars & just dashing-past make it so small & meaningless.
