Photographer's Note
This is one more scene with the old buildings of the Coimbra University. It is such a lovely place for a walk. I just thought that when you spend too much time in the library reading books or working on the computer, as noble as it is, your eyes and your brain are getting tired. You need to take a break and go for a walk to stretch your muscles, stretch your eyes. This university campus offers lovely spots just at the entrance to the library. You can walk out and enjoy outdoors. The title is a phrase popular among students. There is certainly some truth that we must all find a right work-life balance.

Hi Mariusz,the place is truly magnificent and ideal for relaxing after many hours of study, although I'm sure students would also love a nice disco with music to the fullest ... ahaha ... the photo is magnificent as always, very classy architecture preserved perfectly. Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Hello Mariusz,
Such a wonderful place to spend your student years! The architecture looks great and the details around the windows and doors stand out well from the white walls. The colonnade and fences in the foreground are well included too, adding nice depth and patterns.

Witaj Mariusz
The diagonal fence adds good linear perspective and dynamism. Excellent sharpness and nice repetition of the columns. Tfs!

A fine special perspective from the balcony over the lot at the entrance to the low school in Coimbra, a wondrerful place to take architecture's photos.
The elevated POV enable good scale by the people/visitors.
Have a nice new day,

Um belo interior Mariusz. Parece que as portas aí são um capítulo à parte pelo que vejo nesta foto. Daria um tema interessante por si só.
Belo trabalho

I guess the fun help us to go ahead in many tasks. I only get to work because the fun we do at job.
marvelous view of the building. when you visit a place like this with family it is difficult to explore the area so much, I was ever running in coimbra, ever visiting the sames spots..
take care

Hello Mariusz,
This isn't just a very lovely building, you have made it look very special by your excellent use of the pillared walkway, which fills the f/g with interest, as well as framing the details of the university building.
I really like how the patterned railings stand out and how they add to the spectacle by their shadows.
Well done!
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Mariusz,
I'm aware that it is extremely difficult for the average student to strike the right balance between studying enough and having fun.
But for many people it is equally difficult to find the right balance between work and pleasure, or between work and family.
In that sense, studying is a good preparation for later life, the problem of finding the right balance.
However, the corona times have seriously disrupted my balance ...
I think I remember this building from Coimbra. Beautifully presented from the colonnade.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Mariusz.
A wonderful composition of this beautiful building, using the colonnade to frame it, I really like this angle, the covers of the building are fantastic.
Very good color that highlights the strength of the image.
Superb brightness and sharpness management to capture image details.
Very well done. I like.
Have a great day.
Very best regards.
Luis.
P.S. You will tell me if you liked Madeira, it is very important if the weather has been good for you, because for landscapes it is very necessary, in the city you can solve it better.
