Breath taken! What a gorgeous view of a magnificent place!
The photographer knew how to capture the soul and spirit of this place! What amazes me is that she has only used an iPhone for this outstanding work! Congratulations.
Puxa Patrícia que orgulho hein. Mas muito perecido mesmo porque não apenas a foto é realmente extraordinariamente bela, mas porque o extraordinariamente belo não seria registrado por “qualquer hum”.
Fotografar é uma “Arte” e como toda Arte exige sensibilidade, estudo, persistência, paciência, inteligencia e acima de tudo DOM.
E tudo isso você tem Patrícia Saraiva.
Beijo
