Alminhas, a photo from Viana do Castelo, North

Photographer's Note

Hello all,

Portugal, is frequently encountered along the roads and paths, "Alminhas".

These small altars representing religious scene, often tiles, but also painting,
used to light a candle and leave a little prayer, or an offering of flowers.
When I was little, my Grand Mother told me that it allowed to be forgiven the sins of the day.

Hello Dino,
Beautiful Azulejos taken under shadows that created a wonderful effect.
Nice included the leaves in green, added extra verity of tones to the whole.
With your permission I will add this to my Azulejos theme.
Regards
Ike
