EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Obidos, Portugal, a city steeped in medieval charm and rich history. In the foreground, a horse-drawn carriage takes center stage, transporting us back to a bygone era when this mode of transportation was commonplace. The magnificent medieval castle stands proudly in the background, its towering walls and turrets serving as a reminder of Obidos' storied past. The image showcases the unique blend of architectural styles that define this UNESCO World Heritage site. The buildings surrounding the castle exhibit traditional Portuguese design and reflect the town's vibrant culture. As we gaze at this vertical color image, we are transported into an urban scene where time seems to have stood still. Two figures can be seen sitting atop the carriage, adding human presence to this picturesque tableau. Men and women dressed in period attire evoke images of days gone by when such carriages were an integral part of everyday life. Obidos is not just any tourist destination; it is a place where history comes alive. This photograph encapsulates its allure - from its cobbled streets to its ancient walls - inviting travelers to immerse themselves in its cultural heritage. Richard Maschmeyer's skillful photography allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of Obidos' architecture and the simplicity of old-fashioned transportation methods. It serves as a visual testament to our fascination with preserving historical landmarks while embracing modernity within these typically Portuguese cities.
