Caraça Sanctuary, is a Catholic religious temple located in the Brazilian municipality of Catas Altas, in the state of Minas Gerais. The official name of the complex is the Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora Mãe dos Homens, but Caraça has this nickname due to the shape of the mountain, which resembles the face of a lying giant. One of the main tourism routes in the municipality, it was the first church in Brazil in neo-Gothic style (1876 to 1883). It has a tower of 48 meters high and a painting of the Holy Supper painted by Mestre Ataíde in 1828.

Hi Ricardo
A highly attractive landscape with the Giant and the Steeple as if competing one another for attention but how well they complement harmoniously within the natural environment. I love the layer of colour, textural detail and contrast to white-washed of the building. Excellent featured composition from what appears to be a great point of view. Well done and tfs
Best regards

Ola Ricardo,
Wonderful view from a higher point above the valley and the monastery.
Exxcellent outcome with good contrasting colors, well divided the picture space from the foreground to the mountains on the far side.
Bom fim de semana,
Ike

Bonjour, cher ami Ricardo,
Difficile de faire mieux quant à la présentation et à la valorisation d'un patrimoine religieux.
Cette vue d'ensemble est une réussite.
Amitiés.

Hello Ricardo,
Another sanctuary situated in a spectacular scenery. The church and the surrounding buildings are all very elegant and well designed, but it is their location that makes the view so striking. The photo is just as striking, thanks to the well balanced composition and the perfectly saturated colours.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Ricardo,
From a well elevated point of view you present us the large Caraça Sanctuary and its wide surroundings up to the mountains.
The light was beautiful and the colours very attractive.
The facades of the buildings in front are beautifully painted white. But at the back another building seems to have been ravaged by fire or much suffered by wind and weather.
I like the excellent sharpness and depth of the picture, as well as its good composition.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Ricardo,
This is a magnificent church, and I do mean magnificent, set in beautiful, yet remote scenery.
This is the sort of building that you would expect to see in the centre of a busy city!
With its colours and its impressively tall tower, it makes a strong statement from this well-chosen angle.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Bonsoir Ricardo,
Les arbres cadrent bien le sanctuaire. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails du sanctuaire de Caraça. La lumière met en valeur la beauté des couleurs. Bonne soirée.

Ricardo, that sanctuary looks isolated, i don t see any hamlets or villages in the surroundings. It was built in a valley. The religious site consists in a main church with a tower and some outbuildings covered with orange tiles. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.

Hello Ricardo,
The lightning is beautiful on this amazing place. This lovely sanctuary really stands out against the greenery around it, and the mountains behind it. I like the POV looking down, too. Take care!

Hola Ricardo.
Este santuario impresiona no solo por su belleza neo-gótica con esa alta torre de aguja, sino por el extraordinario paisaje que lo rodea, colinas arboladas y detras esa montaña de roca.
Muy buena gestion de la iluminacion y de la nitidez.
Gran trabajo. Me encanta.
Feliz inicio de semana.
Saludos muy cordiales.
Luis.

Ola Ricardo,
I think we have seen this church before but for the first time I think I see it from this elevated point of view which emphasizes well its amazing setting in the nature with high mountains at the back which you have well placed asymmetrically in the frame.
Beautiful place, so very photogenic. I would love to visit it someday.
Excellent quality work!!
