Photographer's Note
Hi TE friends
another picture during our TE meenting with Marjan from Slovenia
In the WS there are more 2 picture...
Cabo da Roca is a stunning cape that forms the westernmost point of mainland Europe (and, of course, mainland Portugal). The great Portuguese Poet Luís de Camões once defined Cabo da Roca as the place "where the land ends and the sea begins".
It is located in the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park and its coordinates (38°47′N, 9°30′W) are inscribed on a stone plaque on the monument at the site.
The cliff rises out of the Atlantic Ocean to approximately 140 metres above sea level, and the lighthouse along with a tourist shop also sit on top of the cliff.
The cape is a popular tourist attraction: every Sunday morning it is common to see many bikers gathered to share their thoughts and experiences about motorcycles, enjoying the astonishing blessed landscape.

Oi Áreas,
os fins extremos de terras no mar sempre são lugares muito atraentes e como você diz isto, inspirem muito os escritores e os poetas. A composição é harmoniosa, interessante e agradável ver. A luz e as cores são naturais. Limpeza excelente. Bravo.
Dia bom.
Amicalement

Hello Aires,
Looks a good spot for a bracing walk along the coast. The walkers bring vitality to the composition; whilst the fence makes an interesting pointer directing the viewer towards the lighthouse. The shot is nicely composed along classical lines and has good colours and sharpness.

Bonjour Aires
Une réunion de photographes au même endroit , un beau sujet et un regard différent pour chacun. De retour à la maison on réalise que personne n'a vu la même chose.
Bon samedi

Olá Aires,
bonita escena del meeting, con mucha actividad fotográfica.
El lugar es fantástico, el Cabo más occidental de Europa impresiona por su belleza paisajística y natural, así como por la fuerza del océano, cuyas olas golpean los acantilados produciendo una espuma blanca muy fotogénica.
Me gusta cómo has gestionado la luz y la calidad de los colores, muy bien saturados.
Un trabajo excelente, amigo.
Um abraço,
Josep

Buenos Aires, no Buenos Dia Aires,
I was just about to say, there so many people in the shot, generally we try to avoid tourists. Well, in this case it is okay since they are TE friends and only play small part in the composition and not a portraits. Regardless to that, the landscape is absolutely beautiful, the light house perfectly situated for a good composition, and the fence lead us in and up to the light house and beautiful soft blue sky. It seems a windy day. You did a wonderful job, simply a beautiful photo, It would also be a more tranquil setting without TE people in there :)

Hi Aires,
beautiful place, great POV. The lighthouse has spectacular location. I like how you included the people taking photos in the foreground it adds the photo some more interest and context.
Very well done,
M
