Mosteiro dos Jeronimos
Made by Bev and Steve
Work on the vast square cloister (55 x 55 m) of the monastery was begun by Boitac. He built the groin vaults with wide arches and windows with tracery resting on delicate mullions. Juan de Castilho finished the construction by giving the lower storey a classical overlay and building a more recessed upper-storey. The construction of such a cloister was a novelty at the time. Castilho changed the original round columns of Boitac into rectangular ones, and embellished it with Plateresque-style ornamentation. Each wing consists of six bays with tracery vaults. The four inner bays rest on massive buttresses, forming broad arcades. The corner bays are linked by a diagonal arched construction and show the richly decorated corner pillars. The cloister had a religious function as well as a representative function by its decorative ornamentation and the dynastic symbolic motives, such as the armillarium, coat-of-arms, and the cross from the Order of Christ, showing the growing world power of Portugal. The inside walls of the cloister have a wealth of Manueline motives with nautical elements, in addition to European, Moorish and Eastern motifs. The round arches and the horizontal structure are clearly in line with the Renaissance style, while at the same time there is also a relationship with Spanish architecture. The decorations on the outer walls of the inner courtyard were made in Plateresco style by Castilho: the arcades include traceried arches that give the construction a filigree aspect. Wikipedia

Diogo Boitac laid the foundations for this three-aisled church with five bays under a single vault, a clearly marked but only slightly projecting transept and a raised choir. The aisles and the nave are of about equal height in the manner of a hall church. Boitac built the walls of the church as far as the cornices and then started with the construction of the adjoining monastery. João de Castilho, a Spanish architect and sculptor, continued the construction in 1517. He completed the retaining walls and the unique single-span ribbed vault, a combination of stellar vaulting and tracery vaults spanning the 19 m-wide church. Each set of ribs in the vaulting is secured by bosses. The bold design (1522) of the transversal vault of the transept lacks any piers or columns, while Boitac had originally planned three bays in the transept. The unsupported vault of the transept gives the viewer the impression as if it floats in the air.


Iglesia del Monasterio de los Jerónimos de Belém
Made by wences bover
Diseñado en estilo manuelino por el arquitecto Juan de Castillo, fue encargado por el rey Manuel I de Portugal para conmemorar el afortunado regreso de la India de Vasco de Gama, se fundó en 1501 en la antigua ermita fundada por el Infante D. Enrique. En los Jerónimos se hallan las tumbas (neomanuelinas) del navegador Vasco da Gama y el poeta Luís de Camões. En una capilla del claustro descansan, desde 1985, los restos del escritor Fernando Pessoa.


A Tomb

Canon Elan 7 50mm f/1.4 USM Kodak Tmax 100 Scanned on an Epson V500. Whenever I scan black and white film I always set the scanner to scan them as color negatives and then desaturate using the channel mixer in GIMP. This helps to ensure that the scanner isn't throwing away information as it does the scan, and I also feel that desaturating via the channel mixer gives me a final image that's much closer to what I envisioned when I took the photo.

I love this shot..it was a fairly long exposure and I tried a few shots and angles of this particular view. In the end I loved the one with Laura walking down the aile. The shadow really adds a great fantasy element to this and once again, one must take advatage of space when these locations have few people frequenting them! Reminds me of an incredibly movie I saw a few weeks back called Pan's Labyrinth. Best viewed

It's always handy having a tripod about with you at night. Allows you to waste your partner's time whilst setting up shots like these in attempt to get a long exposure picture when all your companion is thinking about is 1) where is the rest room 2) where can we get food. Laura and me, messing about in very cool little courtyard not far from where the previous shot was taken..
