"Madalena Pestana is a wonderful character. Her photos strongly reflect a love for the Nature & Life. Her pictorial descriptions of her home town are truly life-like. The group she administers, THE OLD CITY, is a lovely window to some beautiful places of the world. I sincerely wish her all success in life."

"Madalena

A quem chamo carinhosamente Madel...amiga que encontrei na viagem das palavras. Tornei-me apreciadora e aprendiz. Nesse presente, embarco nas imagens do seu tempo, assim me levas, outra vez, à atenção do seu olhar zeloso. Novamente tempo e memória. Você a inventar um novo ponto de vista, ousadia no mirar da vida concreta. O movimento...o movimento ao seu redor. O seu olhar pensa: - a integridade e a suficiência do mundo, simples visão que expõe um sem números de significações, olhar inquieto, inquiridor, visivelmente pensante. Por isso estou sempre por perto. Sou viajante de sua temporaneidade, acompanhante nessa aventura sua de dar identidade aos seus arredores. Sou voyeur do seu olhar...olhar que pensa.

"Madalena is a great contact, a true Faithful Flickr Friend.
Her daily postings of life around her in Lisbon reveal many details and subjects. I particularly like her ongoing series of a local character."

zen granny says:
"Through Madalena, I feel like I experience life in Lisbon. Her photos capture vignettes of everday life and are magical. Because of her photos, I know someday I will visit her beautiful country to see for myself some of these beautiful moments.

She is one of my favorite contacts on Flickr!"

"I don't know Madalena, but I have communicated with her many times on Flickr. She is a dear, sweet lady with a passion for photography. You can feel her heart and soul in each shot, and many of them are quite magical! I have several faves of Magda's photos. She is also the Admin of the Old City group--which has some wonderful photos, as well."

When you get to know Madalena, in the blink of an eyelash, you can see immediately how caring and attentive she is in dealing with her very large retinue of admirers .Madalena answers her posts (the good and the bad ) with equal wit and wisdom.
Often If she is enjoying herself, Madalena will stay up all night watching new posts to herself and others she especially likes.

Madelana, a photographic raconteur, posts delightful images of special parts of gardens and flowers she loves.Characters like her bearded cigarette provider brings to her site a lovely comic relief that is immediately touching You can see beautiful shots of old cities and places she has locked up in her large bank of memories. Then there is her moving illistrated work :vida morte & cª..listen to the sweet haunting music in this piece and read between the lines. You will see her depths..

It is, my absolute delight to have stumbled across this remarkable lady..The extraordinary Madalena Pestrana..Sincerely william Zimpel"

"Madalenas photos are of everyday things around her, she has a great eye for capturing the little things in life a lot of us don't see. Her stream is full of these little gems and well worth a look.
Gives her time looking at other peoples work and commenting, a lovely person and great contact to have.
Andy"

É uma caixinha de surpresas
Tanto no Dizer como no Fazer
É mesmo Obra da Natureza"
