Europe - quo vadis?
© 2008 All rights reserved by JulioC (from my 2005 archives) - See it ::: On Black :::
Quo vadis is a Latin phrase meaning "Where are you going?"
I found the shape of this Europpean skyscraper very curious, just like if something had cut this building, preventing it from growing more...
This picture was taken at the quartier d\'affaires de La Défense, in Paris (August 2005)

Quo vadis é uma expressão do Latim, que significa "para onde vais?"
Achei a forma deste "arranha-céus" Europeu muito curiosa, como se algo o tivesse cortado, impedindo-o de crescer mais...
Paris (Agosto de 2005) - captada na zona empresarial de La Defénse

Madeira Island (Portugal) - Santa Clara Convent
This convent was founded at the end of the 15th century by the second captain of Funchal, João Gonçalves da Câmara, and the original construction started around the small Our Lady of Conception chapel, to be amplified later progressively.
This building have always served the purpose for which they were originally built 500 years ago: as a convent for Franciscan nuns.

Este convento foi fundado nos finais do século XV pelo segundo capitão do Funchal, João Gonçalves da Câmara e começou a ser construído à volta da capela de N.ª S.ª da Conceição, que foi sendo progressivamente ampliada.
Este edifício conseguiu chegar aos dias de hoje com a mesma missão que originou a sua criação há 500 anos atrás: um convento de freiras Franciscanas.
