white against white

|
 white against white This is a "watching house" (is it correct?) over one of the highest places next to Ponte de Lima, called "Facha". From there we can watch the first signals of fire, what is very important in our hot summers. I didnīt manage to get up there, it will make an interesting walk to do. Doesnīt it look like white fighting against white forces of nature? Some djustements on PS and polariser filter.

Very nicely shot, Susana! The watch tower provides the scale with which to sense the height of the hill and as small as it is, it still manages to be the focus of attention. The exposure is also very good and maintains the color and texture of the cloud. A pretty and dynamic scene!

Thank you Claudia, itīs very nice and funny to have feed-back from someone that is not far away from the places I photograph. Thank you Darren, that is exactly what I loved so much, the "powerful" clouds appearing behind the small tower... itīs always so good to read from you. Cheers, Susana
