Hello Doris
It was most pleasing to read your infomrative reply giving us the background circumstance relating to your remarkable photo. I do like your photo muchly.
Hello Doris
Hey, thanks a lot!
This moment was really astonishing! The reason why I originally came to Sintra was an archaeological monument, which ended just where I took this picture. So I was really expecting NOTHING, just enjoying the view over some misty hills. As an unidentifiable shape began to appear, unveiled little by little by the mist, I became totally tongue-tied. At last it stood there: an imposing monument of grandly morbid architecture, wrapped in a delicate floating haze. Drop-dead gorgeous!
A definite plea from my side for not reading the whole of your tour guide in advance!”
Doris
Hello Doris,
I am mindful of your lovely photo. By recent coincidence I recently came across a remarkable photo of an ethereal Spectre I straightaway linked it to your photo.
Here is the Spectre – highly unsual – taken from NASA’s APOD (Astronomy Picture Of the Day):-
