white against white
Uploaded: August 28, 2003 21:42:40
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 didn´t manage to get up there, it will make an interesting walk to do. Doesn´t it look like white fighting against white forces of nature? Some djustements on PS and polariser filter.
