Now, I´ve to comment this Valença walls picture. You got a beautiful portrait of this fortress, kept in mint conditions, But I never could understand what for they did a fortress in the unique point of the whole board with Spain where brothers are in each side of the river.
Abraço,
jorge

My best thanks for the Minho pictures dedication to me, a Minho´s lover, a Minho´son .
Most have been saying good and true words about your quality of photographer. I`ll not go this way, as this is very obvious.My point is your very special feeling and perception of the character of a land or a town.
Doing a technical perfect picture is a boring and easy exercise.Just a modicum of knowledge, an average camera, an average software skill, bingo, there it is the good picture. But soulless, cold, dead, no human touch of the author, not a scale of values, not a trait of what the Artist felt.
You never go this way. You do good pictures but you made the difference, you feel the place, be it in any place of the world.
Being not from Minho, you felt my land as I do, with care, love and emotion.
My best thanks and I bow to your quality, dear Helena
