Hi dear TE friends

Place : Aveiro/Barra (Gafanha da Nazaré)

Theme: (Trip) Aveiro/Costa Nova/ Barra (VI) near Aveiro
.
To see: the map in street view in Google Earth (40.642800 -8.747940)

The Barra’s lighthouse
Is an active lighthouse in Aveiro, Portugal. At a height of 203 feet (62 m) allowing it to light up to 23 nautical miles. It is the nineteenth tallest "traditional lighthouse" in the world, as well as the tallest in Portugal. The lighthouse is located on the south side of the entrance to the Aveiro lagoon, in Barra, the seaside neighborhood of Aveiro. The location is on a barrier beach, exposed to Atlantic Ocean storms.

It was projected in 1879 by engineer Paulo Benjamim Cabral and we could see it in Barra beach that dist less than 10km's to the Aveiro city.

Initially, the main light source was obtained from petrol. Only in 1950 the lighting system was power with electrical public energy, being installed a lamp of 3000W, that was after replaced by a 1000W one. In 1990 it was automatized working now with less human intervention.

The stairs are composed by two sectors: the first with 271 steps with a snail shape and it's made of stone and the second sector is of only 20 steps and made out of metal.
I hope you like it, a big hug to all the friends of the TE.

Oi Filipe ,
Ficou bem bonito o farol contra o céu azul , gostei muito da árvore na lateral da foto devido a escala ela parece maior que o farol , já deve ter umas boas centenas de anos ,boa luz , parabéns!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

Oi caro Filipe!

Eu conheço esta luz é típica da costa portuguesa! Ao mesmo tempo ofuscante e suave! A julgar pelas sombras deve ser provavelmente fim da manhã...ou talvez principio de tarde!
Este azul é um pano de fundo magnífico para fazer ressair este majestoso farol!
Quanto à qualidade da fotografia nada a criticar!

Tchau, tchau, mon ami!

Cumprimentos e continuação de vida feliz!

Bom dia Filipe!
Belo farol!
Linda foto!
Gosto em especial da composição, com o farol ligeiramente descentralizado, das cores obtidas, do manuseio da luz e do formato horizontal!
Parabéns, abraços e até logo,
Neyvan

Hi Filipe,
Well taken, good pov and subject, lovely light and colors, an interesting photo, tfs.

ikeharel (98790) 2011-09-30 2:28

Ola Filipe,
That's an area on Aveiro I did not see, as we were only in the town's main canal area.
The story of Aveiro is most interesting, and your addition on the Barra is enlighting.
Bom dia
Ike

Oi o Filipe,
o paralelismo do farol e a árvore é popular. O centring é equilibrado, a composição é agradável. Luzes excelentes, cores e limpeza. Bravo. Dia bom.
Amicalement

adramad (62656) 2011-10-02 8:36

Hola Filipe.
Espectacular el colorido de esta bonita composicion, Has captado el faro en una perfecta verticalidad junto con ese bonito ejemplar de abeto. Buen equilibrio en la composicion con los elementos que la forman.
Buena nitidez y luminosidad.
Saludos cordiales.
Luis.

fabianoleite (13575) 2011-10-02 14:01

Ótimo enquadramento, com a torre muito bem posicionada, e um bom equilíbrio de cores. Bom resultado, parabéns!

abmdsudi (81562) 2011-10-03 8:03

Hi Filipe
This is something i missed earlier. A poignant shot with good subject matter, It has all the ingredients of a great picture. Well composed image and nice pov, with attractive foreground. Being the prominent subject, the vivid red/white lighthouse provides the balancing components nicely. Given the condition in bright day, it is well exposed with enough clarity, rich colors, textures and sharpness. The overall contrast is good too, it does convey the feel of the place with human interaction to cheer this 'blues'. Great effort and well done.
Best regards

madhumita_roy86 (2344) 2011-10-03 9:01

Such beautiful colours.... very nice composition,good contrast.... thanks for sharing....

danos (110395) 2011-10-03 10:41

Ola Filipe,
nice presentation of the lighthouse at Barra as dominating the image and outlined against the blue sky.I like the wideness of the image, its interesting sides as the balance of it.

Regards,danos

Para Bluejeans:
A árvore é um pinheiro da ilha de Norfolk, descoberta por James Cook em 1774, portanto não pode ser muito centenária ...

dip (23892) 2011-10-05 4:09

Hello Filipe,
a wonderful image with excellent sharpness and lighting,
I also like the choice of POV,the tree on the right balances very well the composition,although the central position of the lighthouse in the frame,
thanks for sharing,
Dimitris.

ChrisJ (152366) 2011-10-06 7:05

Ola Filipe

Superb sharpness with good colour & saturation. The Barra lighthouse makes a good focal point & its red horizontal stripes set up a superb warm cold colour contrast against the blue sky. Tfs! Parabens!

patdeph (35750) 2011-10-06 12:25

hello Filipe
the strong colors are superb;and I like the lighthouse ,yje light, and the tree going to the sky.This is very well framed with the very low horizon.Excellent!
Regards
Pascale

josepmarin (59383) 2011-10-07 0:23

Olá Filipe,
me gusta la combinación gráfica de las franjas horizontales del faro con las franjas verticales del paso de peatones, que dan un buen grafismo a la imagen, y también el bonito contraste con las casas y los árboles, en esta espléndida composición urbana.
La fuerte luz y las sombras, así como la buena saturación de los colores, dan una alta calidad a la foto.
Un bello trabajo.
Um abraço,
Josep
PD: ya falta menos para mi viaje a Lisboa el 30 de Octubre.....

sacimar (36903) 2011-10-08 2:03

Hola Filipe,

bonita imagen con este faro como protagonista, me gusta el color del cielo y el paralelismo con el pino, desde luego el faro es imponente, bien visto,

Un saludo,

Sergio

bukitgolfb301 (53380) 2011-10-08 5:42

Hi my dear Filipe

Sorry for my late reaction as always, as I have been so busy this week. Yes this is a great shot indeed.
Perfect framework and complete composition, also so bright vivid color presentation in the detail. Thanks for sharing with your finest work and have a good Saturday, Best regrads.

jafadabret (56501) 2011-10-12 23:04

Bonjour Filipe,
J'ai visité Aveiro dernièrement mais je n'ai vu que la gare et le centre-ville. J'aime la rigueur et l'équilibre de la composition de cette photo.
Amicalement
Jacques

Longroute (19600) 2011-10-13 2:41

So strange to see a lighthouse inside a town!
Like most of the lighthouses its shape makes a good photographic subject and an eye-catcher. The road offer a fine depth and the tall tree to the right a nice complement.
A pretty postcard from Alveiro.

best regards,
Donato

s_lush (16602) 2011-10-13 9:44

Hello Filipe,
This well-proportioned and colorful lighthouse stands very proudly in the middle of the square. You have captured it with the very well-balanced composition, skillful management of light and colors, interesting details and perfect quality. Great job!
Best regards,
Sergiy

papagolf21 (145076) 2011-10-13 14:19

Bonsoir, cher ami Filipe,
Le phare est l'étoile des marins. La mise en image est très réussie, et les couleurs sont superbes.
Une très bonne présentation avec une note d'accompagnement très riche en informations.
Amitiés.
Philippe

lakshmip1949 (19081) 2011-10-16 11:15

Hello Filipe,

This is a beautiful lighthouse. Very picturesque. Like the tall tree on the right. Beautiful blue sky as a nice contrast.Love the colors and sharpness.

jhm (191315) 2011-10-17 4:31

Boa tarde Filipe,

Again a very good sight about this part of the city, with the light house as real eye catcher.
Sharpness and clarity are perfect.
Nice composition and good presentation.
Very well done, TFS.

Tenham uma boa semana,
John.

alex4ndru (1418) 2011-10-17 22:50

hello,

i expected to see a lighthouse from another angle, but you surprized me with this angle and i can say that is so beautiful. i like the tree from right, it's like in a contest with the lighthouse...who is the greatest? tfs

all the best!

nobuikehonda (3848) 2011-10-18 9:59

Hello Filipe,

The most stunning daytime blue sky, and the tallest lighthouse is well situated. In a broad daylight the image speaks of serenity. The time stands still in your image. It seems that the photo was taken in the middle of afternoon. Town is asleep but your eyes are not. I love the colours; I love the image of the lighthouse. Thank you Filipe for this stunning photo.

With my humble compliments,
Very best regards,
Nobu.

clic (22824) 2011-10-18 15:55

Ola Filipe
The "overproud" fir at right managed to stretch higher than the huge lighthouse, thus creating a nice visual balance to the magnificent historic monument.
Cheers.
Robert

shevchenko (20560) 2011-10-19 2:00

Hi Filipe,
Good frame to show a magnificent light house in middle, nice to see some other architectures at both sides too, beautiful street view with various type of trees, lovely old town, distinct image, good shoot.

Silvio1953 (191181) 2011-10-19 13:26

Ciao Filipe, lovely lighthouse in a fantastic blue sky, excellent perspective, wonderful colors and splendid light, very well done my friend, ciao Silvio

nikkitta (17070) 2011-10-24 16:34

Hola felipe

Si son verdaderos los colores del cielo, son "celestiales", jamas habia visyo un azul tan puro

Casi se transforma en telon de fondo para destacar el faro
Me gusta la composicion bien equilibrada faro y abeto?

Buena e informativa nota
Saludos

Maria

Hi Filipe
Somehow it is funny to see a lighthouse and no sea or ocean around it! Good compo and framing with fine general quality.
