Romantic Lisbon Photo

Photographer’s Note

A shot made from the Castle of St George showing a couple and a view of Lisbon. The Caste is a very interesting place to visit. You can take a tram and then walk a bit. Later, when you get there, you still have some walking to do and some stair climbing if you want to have better views of the surroundings. Don't miss it.

"St. George’s Castle

On top of the highest hill in Lisbon sits St. George’s Castle. The area is called the Alfama. The castle started out as a 5th century Visigothic fort. Then the Moors came and built the castle. In 1147 Dom Afonso Henriques expelled the Moors and the kings or Portugal lived here until the 16th century. A lot of the castle was destroyed during the great earthquake of 1755. Now the castle is one of the tourist favorites because it has the best views of the city."

Lisbon is and always be a romantic city. This is to tell you how much I love Lisbon. And, of course, I can not miss the good picture about it. I like the view behind the imposing olive tree. And those two only add to the good work you have done.

Hello Yvonne,
Yes tou are these gardens in Saint George’s Castle are a very romantic part of Lisboa. I was there 2 years ago and, funny enough, I have a picture of the very same olive tree and I perfectly remember the place. I recalls me of nice souvenirs and I wanted to thank you for this...
Your composition is very good and I like how you have included this couple.
Have a nice day.
Best regards, Christian
