Salamanca's Cathedral

While I was in Salamanca, I took more than 300 pictures. Which is a normal amount, for me . Of all of these, I’ll probably end up with 20 good ones.

One of the most beautiful building there, in my opinion, is the Cathedral. It took them close to 200 years to finish and then, one they were done, they rebuilt it. So now there is the Old Cathedral and the New Cathedral, all in one.

I took this picture in sepia because it just looked so beautiful and I wanted to make it look like an old pictures (minus the modern day looking people right at the bottom…)

The Cathedral is not big, it’s huge and recently it underwent some construction works and someone (Hugo told me “a man”) decided to include something bizarre near the door. Can you see?

No? How about now?

As you can see, there is an astronaut on the façade. Iup, an astronaut. Leave it to men do think of something like that!

(I also have a very artistic picture of an old lady I followed inside the cathedral, but that will come later.)

Inspiração inspirad(or)a?

Há já algum tempinho, coloquei aqui uma das minhas primeiras fotografias. Tinha recebido a máquina fotográfica há apenas uns diazinhos e resolvi sair para a Baixa e "brincar" com as funções. Mexer na luz, zoom, cores, etc.

O resultado foi uma foto às lanternas do Teatro S. Carlos, estas aqui em baixo:

Hoje, uma amiga minha veio ao blog e sentiu-se inspirada pela fotografia (já lhe agradei imenso) e escreveu um poema. Este:


i wonder what we could do by the lanterns.
i wonder if lanterns can love.
do they?

i wonder if we could walk by the lanterns.
i wonder if we can love.
i wonder if the light could turn our flesh into ghosts.

can we go stare at the lanterns?
just stay with them and stare.
could we turn them into people?
empty people like us.
