Hello dear TL-friends!
Here is my contribution to Helen's theme.

High up on the hilltops of the Sierra de Sintra, near Lisbon, the well preserved remains of the imposing Moorish Castle rise above the city. The Moorish castle (Castelo dos Mouros) was built by the Moors in the 8th and 9th centuries and its walls wind themselves like a small Chinese wall round the rock ridges. From the towers and walls one has a spectacular outlook onto the city and its surroundings.

hi Adri

Very strong texture of the stone walls for your contribution to the theme and a good composition for this pov. I like the altitude of this shot, showing the distant view below. Good shot.

Hello Adri,

Great pov from the top of the wall. The rampart leads the eye well towards the battlements. Excellent details of the wall and what a view beyond!!!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

interesting, this could be good to add a link to your previous shots in the note, like this one, i liked to see the other POV, in particular the first you uploaded,
very nice, it's near to be over-sharpened, but it's quite OK like this
next photo of this place, the view of the countryside ? :)
regards
jo

I love stone and brick so this theme today is really 'up my alley' :) You've chosen a wonderful addition!! Very interesting and beautiful!! Excellent color and detail!! TFS
