Black & White Sunday: Man-Made
It’s time for another Black & White Sunday photo challenge. This one is very easy – post anything that is man-made. My chosen subject was shot above Lisbon, Portugal.
Wishing you all a peaceful Sunday!

Czy to Świebodzin ?

No, it is not. This one stands above Lisbon. As far as I could see on the Internet Świebodzin’s one has a crown, and the one I saw does not.

I first thought you had been shooting the Christ in Rio, Brazil….not yet.
But close by, at least the language.
I like the angle you took the photo and the B&W execution.

Hola Paula,
Me encanta el título de tu blog, describe exactamente como me siento cada vez que el traductor de Google me traduce una página o una frase: “Perdida en la traducción”. Te cuento esto (que ya había pensado varias veces) porque en esta ocasión el tema de tu reto Man Made, no se exactamente como entenderlo; si como “Hecho por el hombre” (que es como he enfocado mi entrada), o como “Lo referente al hombre” o sea, figuras humanas. Aquí está la de hoy. Feliz semana.

😀 me encanta leerte Mariangeles, y sobre todo me gusta provocar la gente a pensar. En ingles man-made se refiere al hecho por hombre; en este caso es un poco delicado o sea provocativo pq se trata de la figura del hijo de dios, pero la escultura esta hecha por hombre, y tambien cristo fue humano por lo mas que su padre es dios, nacio como humano. Ves, a mi me gusta mucho provocar pensamientos :). A proposito de titulo de mi blog, eso nacio por varias razones; primer se trata de mi profesion – como soy traductora, y otro muchas, muchas veces estoy perdida en la comunicacion con la gente y no justamente por las razones de barieras linguisticas. 😀 Te agradezco tu interes, y que pensaste bien el tema. Voy para alla ahora mismo 🙂

Sobre tu foto pensé más o menos lo que me cuentas tu, pero cuándo el traductor en la página de tu blog me puso: “todo lo referente al hombre”, me sentí un poco liada.
AVE significa (creo) Alta Velocidad Española” y se refieren a lo trenes de alta velocidad que son una maravilla para desplazarse.
Eres traductora…, ahora comprendo lo bien que escribes español y lo de aprender portugués en pocos días, que me parece una idea preciosa. Pero por qué portugués? Algún día enseñarás inglés?
Tu “voy para alla ahora mismo” es que vienes para España?

Shooting this statue from this perspective is a great idea. Someone should have done it with the Christ the Redeemer in Rio a long time ago.
