Ponta da Piedade, a photo from Algarve, South

Photographer's Note

Ponta da Piedade, located near Lagos, is a beautiful section of a coastline of Algarve, it is one of the most famous touristic attractions of Portugal. The promontory of Ponta de Piedade is a fantasy landscape of caves, grottoes and sea arches that nature has sculpted from the cliffs over thousands of years. The best way to view the numerous rock formations is by boat.

Hello Ryszard,
The magical world of the Algarve coast!
Very well composed.
The water has beautiful colours ranging from the reflected reddish on the left over blue to green. More colours are added by the boats.
Best regards, Paul

Cześc Rysiek,

Fantastyczne widoki w Algarve. Piękne skały, szmaragdowe morze, łódki czekają na chętnych na przejażdżkę.
Super zdjecie.

Miłego weekendu

MAłgorzata

PS. Czy w Hiszpanii (Saragossa, Bilbao) byłeś indywidualnie, czy z jakąś wycieczką? Chce jechać w marcu w podobne miejsca.

Niesamowite formy skalne sfotografowane w cudownym swietle. Odbicia dodaja uroku, a ludzie w lodkach poczucia wielkosci tych naturalnych "rzezb".
Pozdrawiam
Kasia

Bonjour Ryszard,

Le spectacle est extraordinaire. Ce lieu est magique. Mais je me demande si un petit coup de flash n'aurait pas encore plus amélioré le spectacle des barques ŕ l'avant plan.

Bon samedi

Serge

Ciao Ryszard
il mare in che ci mostri č favoloso, belle le rocce che affiorano dall'acqua e belli i loro riflessi.
Ottima la presenza delle barche nell'angolo a destra e un po' in ombra, in modo da non distrarre troppo la vista del paesaggio.
Buona domenica
Carlo

Piekna letnia pocztowka, urokliwe miejsce z tymi lukami skalnymi. Dobra kompozycja, atrakcyjna kolorystyka, swietnie poradziles sobie z kontrastami.
Przyjemnie sie oglada w zimowe dni
pozdrawiam
Piotr

Iwon (7029) 2017-02-09 3:15

Z tęsknoty za ciepełkiem, piękne miejsce, chciałoby się tam wrócić. Szkoda że słońce nie doszło do motorówek, byłoby jeszcze piękniej.
Pozdrawiam
Iwona

Czesc Ryszard,
tez mialem przyjemnosc tam byc i tak sie nawet zastanawiam czy nie za malo zdjec z Portugali pokazalem, mialem wtedy inne kryteria wyboru zdjec :)
Swietny punkt, bardzo dobrze widac z tego miejsce esencje Algarve pomaranczowy kolor i niezwykla rzezbe formacji skalnych.
Lodzie wycieczkowe dobrze ze nieco ukryte w cieniu, wnosza interesujacy element nie przeszkadzajac zanadto.
Wspaniala praca,
M

Hello Ryszard,
The beautiful sunlight really makes this scene exceptional. I like the small boats and people in the foreground, and then the magnificent rock formations jutting out of the turquoise water. It's a magical scene.

mcmtanyel (58830) 2017-02-14 20:52

Hello Ryszard,
These are interesting rock formations, i am sure they are the "ruins" of cliffs by the ocean, after the waves beat on them for millennia.
Regards,
