Dear All,

This is the 'FOZ DO LIZANDRO' BEACH, located in the Carvoeira´s parish, it has a wide extension of sand going along Lizandro River, which flows into the Ocean on the southern side of the beach. It has lifeguard and some beach cafés.

**********

The tourist may choose among sheltered and sometimes crowded beaches like the Praia do Sul, in the village itself, or the quieter and less public ones, like São Sebastião at the north end of the village, on the way to the camping site.

Further still, near the ruins of the old palace Paço de Ilhas and the traditional settlement of Santo Isidoro, lies the beach of Ribeira de Ilhas. Facing the open sea, it is internationally renowned as one of the best surfing spots in Europe. After Ribamar comes São Lourenço beach, the favorite for those who like plenty of space and beautiful sea views.
On the opposite side of the village the river running alongside the chapel of Nossa Senhora do Ó and across the sandy beach of Lizandro offers pleasant opportunities for boat trips.

Hi Aires,

This is a beautifully composed image. I also like the blue hue in the sky. Just wondering how this would look like without the person in the lower left portion though. TFS

I go for the quieter beach then and watch this person struggle to fly his kite. There was a lot of running involved when we were teaching the children and also making "tails" for the birds to give them a better balance in the sky.
TFS this lovely picture and note.(great promotion)

Great silhouette. Very interesting subject. Well done.

Nice picture. Well done.

Beautiful and original compo, it gives a freedom feeling. I like the blue sky, the clouds and the silhouettes of the man and the life-buoy pole.

Good framing and well taken the motion but too noisy. I'd like without that dark shape from the left side.

Dear Aires,

Amazing shot, beautiful sky, very nice colours! Thanks for your note, I'll look on the internet for Sao Lourenco Beach, sounds lovely, maybe nice for a holiday! Well done, cheers! Greetings from Bianca

Very simple and very nice composition,

Ola Aires

I like the symmetry between the 3 silhouetted vertical elements of the man, kite & lifebuoy. Tfs!

You've caught a good moment. I think, if you were to crop from both side and make it vertical, it would be even more effective. Also, level the horizon ... it has a tiny slop.
