Sailors Network Drawings at Horta, a photo from Acores, Islands

Photographer's Note

This Post is a return to the Sailors Drawings ant Horta Marina at Faial Island and for a reference and better measure information of this local you must see a previous one here: Link

If You want to see the Local where I took this picture I give a Google Map with a reference CAMERA ICON here: Link

Horta's Marina it's like a world navigation network! So, is a great and world known place where many boats, sailors and navigators cross the central north Atlantic ocean and take a Pause to rest and for supplies.

INFORMATIVE NOTE: This is like a great sailing network where almost all the navigators give their contribution to the Marina by a nautical drawing card type stamp post at the surrounding walls and pavement.

Aditional Information: ISO=80, Focal Lenght=27mm, a little crop at the lower base and a smell of Neatimage for reduction factors for posting.

This post was taken between midday and sunset with good weather and the sun rays near my backwards.

FINAL Note: I added two WS's for a better reference and information of this place and drawings in the wall of the Marina. In my Photo Travelogue Information you have all the photos posted of this voyage.

These beautiful Islands are located in the vast Atlantic Ocean somewhere half a way between Europe and North America. Faial and Pico are part of the five Central Islands, that are visited all the year for several thousand of tourists and sea navigators from all the world.

These are also natural and preserved nature wonders that have Sailors, Solitaire navigators and important world tourism and preserved Sportiv Game-Fishing with people linked to United States, Canada, Brazil, Europe and also naturally to Continental Portugal.

Thanks in advance and I hope you like these pictures.

Fernando

I already found this nice wall attractive and as I can remeber it was with the "jumping man".
This is also a good composition from this very well known wall, (in fat a lot of our transatlantic racers (from the north coast here) tell about it.
Well done for the colors and framing.

jhm (203003) 2005-11-27 12:33

H Fernando,
Again the wall with its drawing, but now more in detail, I find your note always very well-groomed, very well done Fernando.
Best regards,
John.

Hi Fernando,
Another interesting view, details are well captured.
You have cropped the two flags, i think it was better to keep the Sweden flag on your composition.

isamar (1424) 2005-11-27 14:58

Conheço esta marina e a foto mostra bem toda a beleza das pinturas que apresenta!Parabéns!

weswang (18247) 2005-11-27 16:41

Hi Fernando, A nice shot of the "street arts". It looks that it is impossible to get a piece of the area to draw something yourself. Good details and nice texture.

alvaraalto (42276) 2005-11-27 17:15

Hi Fernando,
This is a great wall. I like this places which get more and more interesting because anyone can give a contribution.

dsidwell (9783) 2005-11-27 18:52

This is a very engaging and interesting photo, Fernando, especially with your note. It looks slightly oversharpened, but I like very much the composition and ratios devoted to sky and ground.

singuanti (15250) 2005-11-27 21:32

Hi Fernando. Well this type of graffiti is probably never been on TE before. It might also be fun to zoom in on just one. Scratch that I see you have a WS closer in which is nice too. Nice catch Fernando and tfs!

Bonjour Fernando,
Si l'on devait vivre éternellement, tout deviendrait monotone. C'est l'idée de la mort qui nous talonne. C'est la hantise et le désir de l'homme de laisser une trace indélébile de son éphémère passage sur cette terre qui donnent naissance à l'art.
[Brassaï]
J'apprécie beaucoup cette série, Fernando, elle est le reflet du passage des hommes qui souhaitent laisser une trace éphémère.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Interesting to see a closeup of this artwall. Interesting idea for the sailors too. What will happen when the wall is full up?

Olá Fernando,
Quem vive em uma ilha tem sempre sua vida voltada para o mar. Muito interessantes os cartões postais deixados pelos marinheiros do mundo inteiro que fazem escala nos Açores. Vi na TV que em uma das ilhas havia um bar servia de correio para os navegantes. Excelentes também as fotos do WS. Belas cores, luminosidade e nitidez.
Belo trabalho!
Abraços,
Leonor

Olà Fernando
Ce muret est très intéressant, c'est un souvenir très intéressant de la part de tous les navigateurs du monde qui sont venus ici.
J'apprécie la présentation.

Olà Fernando
Este muret é muito interessante, é uma lembrança muito interessante por parte dos navegadores do mundo que vieram aqui. Aprecio a apresentação.

fverde (1699) 2005-11-28 15:27

Olá Fernando!
Obrigado pelos comentários sempre muito simpáticos em relação às minhas fotos. Também eu tenho um especial carinho pelos seus trabalhos, que são sempre lindíssimos e de uma qualidade inquestionável. Conheço bem este local de grafittis relativos ao mundo do mar e dos marinheiros. Confesso que são assuntos que sempre me fascinaram...
A foto está excelente (como sempre), com uma perspectiva abrangente destas verdadeiras obras de arte que o tempo vai preservando. O enquadramento é perfeito e a definição faz sobressair as texturas da pedra e o desgaste provocado pelo tempo. Mais uma preciosidade de umas férias de sonho, que nos têm proporcionado momentos de beleza e magia...
Abraço!
Fernando.

A wonderful array of colourful murals and designs. The clarity of detail is outstanding and the nautical themes most apropos. I like the careful framing and cropping here - very artisitcally presented. Best wishes.

Vagabond (5848) 2005-11-30 8:38

Bela fotografia bem exemplificativa de um modo de estar da vida portuguesa e particularmente açoreana - o acolhimento daqueles que viajam por todos os mares em pequenos barquinhos. Boas cores, excelente informação. Parabéns, Amigo Fernando ..

Hi Fernando,
It's a very diverse and colorful collection of popular art, I like to see the acores as a meeting point where the sailors of diverse nations converge, also some French as far as I can see... Nice work well completed by the workshops and the note.
Have a nice sunday,
Jean-Yves

jjbach (9326) 2005-12-09 7:55
