The Brothers Grimm defined legend as folktale historically grounded.
.....
A legend is a narrative of human actions that are perceived both by teller and listeners to take place within human history and to possess certain qualities that give the tale verisimilitude. Legend, for its active and passive participants includes no happenings that are outside the realm of possibility, defined by a highly flexible set of parameters, which may include miracles that are perceived as actually having happened, within the specific tradition of indoctrination where the legend arises, and within which it may be transformed over time, in order to keep it fresh and vital, and realistic. A majority of legends operate within the realm of uncertainty, never being entirely believed by the participants, but also never being resolutely doubted.
.....
Princesa, the Spanish for Princess.
.....
The art of using The High Camera Angel. Taken from significantly high camera angles, like at the top of stairs or upper floors of a building, a photo can create sensations of freedom, transcendence, and " above it all.” You feel omniscient by being able to see the Big Picture and all the action within it. As a more objective rather than immersive point of view, you become the unseen observer, uninvolved, distant. The subject or object being photographed might appear swallowed up by the setting; they become a small part of the larger picture.
