Photographer's Note
Ponte de Lima is a village in the Minho region, northwest of Portugal. It has a medieval architecture and is bathed by the river that gives it the name, the Lima River. It's considered the oldest village in Portugal. It was the Countess D. Teresa de León, mother of Afonso Henriques, first king of Portugal, who granted a charter letter in 1125, referring to it as Terra de Ponte (bridge earth).
It's a very important place since the Roman.
It had a Palace of the Court of the Kingdom of Leon, before the Independence of Portugal, of course, documented by archaeological finds and other written documents.
It is a land of many festivals and traditions.
At the beginning of September take place the "Feiras Novas", a big pilgrimage and celebration in honor of Our Lady of Dores (Nossa Senhora das Dores). It's one the biggest in the country.

Hi Maria
I wish I had known about this place when I travelled to Portugal, its so photogenic. The oldest village in Portugal is quite the accomplishment. I wonder how this place looks at sunrise or sunset, or even at blue hour. nice to see the long continuous arches like that. sweet! cheers

Ola Maria,
Good choice to apply a horizontal crop to this river scene.
View with the rock-island and the bridge leading the viewer to the far side village and the church tower on the far side bank.
Bom novo dia,
Ike

Olá, Maria!
Linda vista dessa ponte com destaque para a igreja ao fundo! Essa ilha verde no primeiro plano também deixa a imagem muito mais bonita e com mais cores! Belo trabalho!
