Wind, Sun and Stone by PedroQuintela1

Monsanto was built under and over the granite. Due to the interest motivated by one of my last images, I decided to revisit the antique village and try to capture a little more of its spirit. After a couple of hours I found this place that, at least to me, symbolizes the roughness of living among the boulders since many, many centuries. With this God´s view I had no other chance but make a panorama shot, blending three images, because only one couldn't show all the beauty. This was trickier than I first thought, because of the 17 mm distortion and the lack of space. Also used a 0,9 ND grad and placed the tripod to wait for the (windy) sunset, in particulary the moment of the sun flair, to add a little more magic. I hope you all like it and if you want I´ll upload some more. Have a great day and thanks so much for the support and comments. via 500px http://ift.tt/S4DjKQ

Across the Horizon by PedroQuintela1

My today´s image embraces again my quest for seeking natural and human beauty. In this case they were bonded for hundreds of years ago in the village of Monsanto. It's a panorama and Le shot, because the view was to wide to get it and light was fading. With traces of man is from Early Stone Age, and Elected the "most Portuguese village of Portugal" in 1938, Monsanto has is unique. Built around granite boulders of varying sizes, many houses are actually within the rocks. The countryside has breathtaking views across Portugal and Spain. I kindly ask you to take a few seconds, breath and enjoy the view. Thanks for the visit and support, as always! Be happy, please. :) via 500px http://ift.tt/1sKs2wW
