Pessegueiro Island (Peach Island) near the small village of Porto Côvo.

This is the beach of Porto Covo, Sines County, Southwest Portuguese Coast. In front of this beach there is a tiny island (Pessegueiro Island or Peach Tree Island), 300x200 meters, once the place of a Roman Temple and a XVIth Century Castle. I don't believe there were ever any conditions to create peach trees in this place, frequently overridden by strong winds and salt water ..
In recent years, a famous Portuguese singer (Rui Veloso) carried a new interest to this place with his song where he tells the story of a young Moorish Vizir who killed himself in Porto Covo due to a sad love story ...

Hi Aires,
Excellent lighting, sharpness and great colors. The light is superb and created beautiful colours all over. Love the way you have captured the white clouds against the deep blue sky. A simple composition but one with a strong impact due to the magnificent colours.

Dear Aires,

What a beautiful place! Well composed and vibrant colours, looks like a great place for a picknick.:-) Your note adds a nice touch to it, although a sad one... Thanks, have a good day, Bianca.

Ciao Aires, splendid sea landscape with wonderful colors, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hola Aires, I want to be there, at that beach. It looks so sunny and inviting. The turquoise and azur colours of the sea look good, the sky is of another blue still. The green looks a bit yellow and unnatural. Still, the overall composition is a good one. TFS. - Have a good weekend! Cordelia :))
