@Lorraine: Yes... it's a really wonderful place. I think Ana Lúcia has a day version from it, in a different perspective, in her portfolio.
Thanks a lot Lorraine.
This night series has ended... but who knows if if will not have another version... it's starting there the "Christmas Village" and I intend to go... ;)

It really stands out against the pitch black sky, interesting to see things by night.

Thanks a lot

@JJ: Well... let's see what is possible to do in the future. As I told Lorraine Christmas is approaching and the people from Óbidos decorate the village in a special way... and I want to go there.
Thank you JJ

@Ana Lúcia: Esta foto foi uma dor de cabeça. Havia umas luzes que estavam um pouco sobrexpostas. Com menos tempo ficava outra parte subexposta. A única forma de equilibrar as coisas foi passa-la a PB para diminuir o efeito de sobrexposição. Mas ponderei seriamente em não a publicar, antes de tratar. :)
Obrigado Ana Lúcia.

Buena toma en contrapicado. La versión en b/n de esta nocturna saca bien los relieves de la piedra.
