ESPOSENDE (Portugal): Igreja Matriz.
Remonta a 1566 a primitiva ermida, dedicada a Nossa Senhora da Graça. Em 1758 terá dado lugar à nova Igreja, remodelada para matriz da Vila de Esposende, dotada de altar-mor e nave principal abobadada, com sacristia, altares laterais, dois púlpitos e duas torres sineiras, tomando a invocação a Santa Maria dos Anjos, padroeira de Esposende. Entre 1885 e 1896 foi ampliada a igreja no seu interior e melhorada a fachada, sendo erguida ao gosto neoclássico de três corpos. Desta obra resulta a instalação do órgão de tubos. Em 1968 a torre sineira é também dotada de um relógio. No seu interior destaque para os vitrais, os painéis azulejares, o coro e a pia batismal.

a cavernous hall that whispers tales of decay and long-forgotten echoes. This panorama, oh it stretches like a yawning abyss, daring the onlooker to step into its grim embrace. The wooden bones of this architectural cadaver sprawl under the weight of time, a skeleton of a once bustling hive of human activity.
Now, let's talk about the composition, my fiendish friends. The panoramic view, it's like a widescreen lens into a post-apocalyptic ballroom, where the dance of dust and shadow pirouettes across the floor. Notice the columns, standing like silent sentinels, guardians of history and hoarders of secrets.
The lighting, it drips from the ceiling like the last vestiges of hope, fighting a losing battle against the encroaching darkness. It's a masterclass in the use of natural light, casting a spectral glow that breathes a ghostly life into the scene.
The perspective is downright diabolical. It draws you in, doesn't it? Like a siren's call or the final act of a horror show, it's the spot where the final showdown would happen in the most thrilling of thrillers.
And those cables, snaking across the floor, they're like the tendrils of some unseen beast, or the remnants of a mechanical monster that once roared and hissed through this desolate chamber.
This is not just a photograph; it's a doorway to a narrative, a frozen moment between what was and what will never be again. It's a visual requiem, my friends, a hauntingly beautiful tribute to the relentless march of time and the stories that are left behind in its wake. Bravo to the maestro behind the lens, for you've captured not just an image, but the very essence of desolation and the beauty that lies within it.
OVIEDO (Espanha): Santa Maria de Naranco.
Este belíssimo exemplar de arquitetura pré-românica foi mandado construir em 848 por Ramiro I (muito antes da existência de Portugal, ou até do Condado Portucalense) como fazendo parte de um dos seus palácios. Só mais tarde foi convertido em igreja. O reino das Astúrias era, nesta altura, o único reino cristão na Península Ibérica, após a derrota dos visigodos pelos invasores muçulmanos. Destacam-se, no exterior, as suas elegantes proporções, os seus contrafortes, arcos e alguma decoração.

New York City - August 21, 2023: Night view of the Brooklyn Bridge and Lower Manhattan from the Manhattan Bridge.
Criss-cross the walk went through Paris! And again and again I am magically attracted to churches. Not only for a silent prayer and lighting a candle, but because behind the facades often hide works of art. That was not enough on this day, the sun also sent its rays through the windows at the perfect moment.
