Photographer's Note

I dear TE friends

Another monument from Lisbon - The Free Waters Aqueduct.

In the WS I put another version taken one hour before.

I'm not sure about the best...

Can you enjoy both and tell me something ?

Thanks !

Free Waters Aqueduct

Classified as a National Monument, the Aqueduto das Águas Livres is one of the world's most extensive systems of water supply, reaching a total length of 58 kilometres (36 miles); the name is due to the fact that the water flowed exclusively by the force of gravity, in other words, freely.

In 1571, Francisco de Holanda suggested to king Sebastian the reconstruction of an aqueduct at the site of the former Roman dam of Olissipo, to guarantee the supply of fresh water to the capital, but it was only in the 18th century, during the reign of king John V, that the actual construction began, entirely funded by a tax on meat, wine and olive oil supported by the population of Lisbon.

The works started under the guidance of the architect Manuel da Maia and the sergeant-major Custódio de Vieira, who was responsible for the design of arches spanning the Alcântara valley; it is worth mentioning that the Free Waters Aqueduct boasts the world's tallest stone arch.

The aqueduct, which was concluded in 1834 (although it began to supply water to Lisbon in 1748), displays visible Gothic influences in a period dominated by the Baroque style.

A public walkway along the interior gallery, named Arches Walk, which once offered a wonderful panoramic view to pedestrians, has been closed since 1844 due to the large number of suicides and murders, including those committed by the famous bandit Diogo Alves.

Now, the Water Museum, in charge of the aqueduct, organizes guided visits and tours on different dates and hours, according to the season.

Aqueduto das Águas Livres

Classificado como Monumento Nacional, é um dos mais extensos sistemas de abastecimento de água existentes no mundo, alcançando os 58 quilómetros; o seu nome deve-se ao facto de as águas correrem apenas pela força da gravidade, isto é, livremente.

Foi em 1571 que Francisco de Holanda propôs ao rei Dom Sebastião a reconstrução de um aqueduto e da antiga barragem romana de Olissipo, para garantir o abastecimento de água à capital, mas foi só no reinado de Dom João V, em pleno século XVIII, que se decidiu avançar com a sua construção, tendo sido os seus custos integralmente suportados pela população de Lisboa através de taxas que incidiam sobre a carne, o azeite e o vinho.

As obras começaram sob a direcção do arquitecto Manuel da Maia e do sargento-mor Custódio de Vieira, sendo deste último a opção pelos arcos sobre o Vale de Alcântara; vale a pena referir que o Aqueduto das Águas Livres tem o maior arco em alvenaria do mundo.

O aqueduto, que ficou concluído em 1834, apesar de ter começado a abastecer de água a cidade de Lisboa a partir de 1748, evidencia influências góticas em pleno período barroco.

A galeria interior tem dois corredores que têm o nome de Passeio dos Arcos, pelos quais se podia caminhar e disfrutar de uma vista panorâmica, porém o elevado número de suicídios e assassinatos, pelos quais se tornou célebre o bandido Diogo Alves, levou a que a partir de 1844 fechasse ao público. Actualmente, o Museu da Água, que tutela o aqueduto, organiza visitas e passeios em datas e horas que variam consoante as estações.

*****
Das Aqueduto das Águas Livres hat eine Länge von 19 km und erstreckt sich von Queluz über Caneças bis zum Lissabonner Stadtteil Amoreiras. Dieser Aquädukt gehört zu den weltweit größten Bauten dieser Art. Am imposantesten ist der Aquädukt im Alcântara-Tal, über welches er sich in 14 gotischen Bögen hinüberspannt. Der höchste dieser Bögen hat eine Höhe von 65 Metern und eine Breite von 28 Metern. Der Bau wurde im 18. Jahrhundert auf eine Initiative vom Stadtbevollmächtigten Cláudio Gorgel do Amaral errichtet. Der Bau trug damals wesentlich zur Lösung der chronischen Probleme von Lissabons Wasserversorgung bei. Das große Erdbeben im Jahr 1755 überstand das Aquädukt unbeschädigt.
Der Betrieb wurde im Jahr 1967 eingestellt. Heute kann das aus Kalkstein errichtete Bauwerk besichtigt und begangen werden. Von dort aus hat man einen tollen Ausblick. From Wikipedia.

Hi Aires,

Beautifull night shot.
Colours are fantastic..
I like both images... yet I prefer the night shot :)
EXCELLENT.

Hi Aires, great shot with very good colour & light - it has a Disney-esque fairy tale quality because of the light. Beautiful sky too. Have a good weekend! Regards,
Ryno

robertosalguero (292) 2008-04-10 1:30

Hello Aires,

You have an excellent scene of this aqueduct in the blue hour. The coloured lights under the structure create an interesting effect against the blue sky. Good sharpness and details and the perspective is excellent to create depth in the image. Beautiful place. Thanks Aires.

Roberto

UnTrained (0) 2008-04-10 1:36

Olá Aires,
both of good quality but the blue hour one is more impressing because of the light contrasts. I like the POV offering us the dark ground to the blue sky. The exposure is well done for a lot of details on the large construction.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Aires, one of the most elegant photos of this famous Aqueduct, I've ever seen.

Na minha opiniao, foto original é melhor.

Ola Aires

A dramatic, upward pov, on the aquaduct, with striking colour contrasts between the blue & yellow, & superb sharpness. Tfs!

jlynx (12647) 2008-04-10 2:27

Hello Aires,
For some time past You show the splendid series of night photoes. These framess, similarly how present are masterly. The splendid construction which remembers still Roman times looks here magnificently. It is both the contribution of the beautiful light as and great skills of the photographer. Superb lights, wonderfully plastic shadows and the unfailingly splendid quality of the photo.
Best regards from cold Poznan,

Aires,
Great blue hour shot with good blending of natural and artificial lighting. Your composition is fine creating a diagonal through the shot with the aqueduct. The lighting and colors are great with nice sharpness and DOF.
TFS,
Asa

stego (24132) 2008-04-10 4:59

Olá Aires,
Quase todas as vezes que passo debaixo dele, principalmente ao pôr-do-sol penso que seria interessante fotografá-lo. E visitá-lo tb... A foto está fantástica, muito boa mesmo, tanto técnica como esteticamente. A perspectiva, a luz e as cores estão especialmente bem. Parece ligeiramente inclinada, mas não é nada de grave.
Um abraço, José.

danos (110407) 2008-04-10 5:06

Ola Aires,
very nice night shot of the monument of the free waters aqueduct.The colourful lights that floodlight the arches, create a magical environment for the whole monument and in combination with the capturing in the blue hour make the scene memorable..Informative your note too.

Regards,danos

siamesa (28231) 2008-04-10 5:22

Hi Aires!

The master of the blue hour, strikes back with a magnificent stone "rainbow"! Amazing perspective and composition, perfect light managment, both in terms of exposure and (most important in this case, I think) White balance! Congratulations for this extraordinary photo!

Cormac (26565) 2008-04-10 7:39

This is one of those shots that makes you go "wow!". The colourful lighting on the bridge really is eye catching and beautiful, and it makes a very good contrast with the dark blue of the sky. I like the angle too, which gives this a more dramatic appearance. Well done!

alive (1362) 2008-04-10 7:53

Olá!
A foto demonstra a beleza do aqueduto.
Para mim especial porque nasci e vivi 27 anos junto a ele, na rua onde se entra para o monumento.
O monumento é candidato a património mundial, pela UNESCO. Esta foto está tão bonita que podia ir no dossier da candidatura. :)
Obrigado e abraço.
luis.

Truja (4953) 2008-04-10 8:40

Olá Aires,
impresionante fotografía!! el POV es el mejor sin duda alguna, ya que nos ofrece una perspectiva arquitectónica genial. El control de la luz y colores es fantástico, y ese cielo a la "hora azul" es sencillamente hermoso y mágico. Tiene mucha más fuerza esta foto que el WS, aunque la diferencia sea la iluminación y el cielo, que son precisamente los puntos fuertes de la excelente imagen!!
Te felicito Aires, me has sorprendido con una foto elegante, de alta calidad y definión de imagen y de gran técnica fotográfica.

Un saludo, Jordi

batalay (41261) 2008-04-10 18:40

Olá Aires,

Sensational blue hour photograph, complemented by a very informative note. Initially, I thought it was a Roman aqueduct, but your note, and the pointed Tudor arches reveal its relative youth — only 250 years old. Finally, your note is like a modern Rosetta stone, explaining the site in several different languages. I could not believe my eyes when I saw the word "Portekizce."

Um abraço,,

Bulent

siolaw (38294) 2008-04-10 23:20

Quel changement en l'espace d'une heure (j'ai regardé la photo prise peu de temps avant).
La beauté est différente la nuit et offre un charme très particulier.
L'heure bleue est bien présente.

Bonjour Aires,
vraimet magnifique et majestueux ce viaduc, d'autant qu'il est éclairé avec tant de couleurs différentes.
BIen sur, l'endroit de la prise de vue est bien choisi et le moment aussi, the blue hour. Perspective interessante, le viaduc n'en parait que plus impressionnant.
Excellent week-end.

Hello Aires,
a really spectacular blue-hour shot, with fantastic lighting. The sharpness is excellent and the details are well visible. The perspective and sense of depth are fantastic. Very well done,my friend!
Attila

pasternak (15185) 2008-04-12 1:24

Both versions are really well done, Aires, but the main post is arguably more interesting due to the different lighting of the arches.

Flavia (10352) 2008-04-12 20:41

Ola Aires,

Sem duvida nenhuma esta e a melhor. As luzes coloridas que iluminam os arcos, simulam um arco-iris! A perspectiva aqui esta mais apurada elem de ter mais profundidade. Exposicao perfeita. As luzes dos carros que passam na estrada adiciona um elemnto colorido e interessante a composicao.

Abracos,

Olá Aires,
Fantástica perspectiva do Aqueduto, a levar-nos através da foto.
O céu é magnifico e da muito caracter á foto em contraste com o aqueduto iluminado. Gosto ainda do casario ao fundo e destas linhas criadas pelo passar dos carros que criam dinamismo.
Um abraço.

Colors, as the bridge is enlighten, are marvelous. ai like the light lines , are they car lights or what?
My sincere congratulations.

Ola Aires,
I prefer this blue hour version to the earlier one in the WS, having the lights switched on outlines the structures better and the green line with repeated elements at the top is very nice.
Have a nice evening JY

pablominto (53746) 2008-04-14 9:48

Hi Aires,
As far as I am concerned, I prefer the blue hour version. This hour is so magic!
You have a good clarity in your composition so we can see the village at the background and the beautiful arches.
It is very impressive.
Congratulations.

Todos os dias costumo passar perto do aqueduto, uma vista que me dá muito gozo, especialmente na tua foto existem grandes detalhes e o momento da foto foi o ideal porque destaca a iluminação colorida do aqueduto, bom trabalho! Continua, abraço

banyanman (7797) 2008-04-19 11:24

I much prefer this blue hour shot to the one in the workshop, Aires. Whenever I have visited Lisbon I have admired this feat of ancient engineering, but have never found the right POV for a good photograph of the Free Waters Aqueduct. You have the advantage of being a local. Personally I don't like the tilt in this, but maybe you had a reason for doing that. Cheers . . . David

Loic_bzh (7646) 2008-04-25 1:09

Hi Aires,

perfect blue hour shot. I love the perpective and the colors of the aqueduct...

Cheers,

salvator (19110) 2008-04-26 0:54

Hi Aires,
Wooooww. The color of the cobalt sky is what strikes at first glance, and then the superb use of light and wonderful colors. Superb details too.
Best regards. Salvator.

Emile (20352) 2008-04-29 7:45

Hola Aires.
This one and your WS are very good shots, captured with a good perspective from a very good upward POV. Nice colors and sharpness, impossible to say which one is the best.
Well done. TFS.
Best regards.

Hellas (7123) 2008-04-30 0:53

Good morning Aires,
Both the pictures are wonderful and each of them has each own beauty! The night shot is more romantic with lovely colors and the long exposure disappeared the vehicles passing through the arches. The photo with light presents better the surroundings. You chose different PoV, I may understand the reason which is the lamp post you had in front one hour before. The construction looks great without regard to hour of capturing!
Best wishes,
Athanasios.

Olá Aires,
As duas fotos estão muito bonitas, mas como estou mais habituado a ver isto de dia, esta foto crepuscular ficou mais apelativa. Aquele tom esverdeado na parte de cima ficou algo de fantasmagórico, espectacular.
Um abraço,
F
