  2. You could take pictures on the grounds of the palace almost forever and not run out of subjects. The color and light in this picture is wonderful.

  8. Beautiful photo of a beautiful fountain.
    All these mythology themes--something we will never see in Israel. So thanks for sharing yours.

  14. We have a palace at Queluz, some kms inland, whose construction started in 1747 inspired by (so they say) the Château de Versailles. There is also this gourgeous pond with a Neptune statue! I have to go there and take some shots to show you! :-)

  19. I like your detail view a lot, especially the combination of colors with the blue-green of the metal trident against the water.
