The Most West Corner Of Europe ~ In Portugal

 Aqui, onde a terra se acaba e o mar começa...
Here, where the land ends and the sea begins...
       / Luís de Camões, Os Lusíadas /


Lighthouse
The Cabo da Roca lighthouse, overlooking the promontory towards the Atlantic Ocean.


West Point
 Belita and I arrived at the most west point of Europe around sunset time, 
it was breathtakingly beautiful...

    It does look quite breathtaking! I like the softness of all of the photos and the coloring in the top one really makes the rooftops stand out!

    Me parece un procesado excelente
    y una buena foto.
    En mi opinión la fotografía del faro
    es la que mas me gusta.
