About the photo

Ponta da Piedade is a very popular viewpoint in Algarve. I was scouting this place a day before this shot, and it was crowded even though December is offseason. When I woke up in the morning, it was raining, and clouds covered the sky. I had to drive 30 km one way to get to Ponta da Piedade, so it was a kinda hard decision to get off a warm bed and move to the unknown in not very exciting weather conditions. However, I jumped in my car and headed to Lagos. Soon I was regretting my long hesitations because the light started to appear and it was beautiful! Happily, I was at the site just in time to find the other 5 or 6 fellow photographers on the best places )) Anyway, there was still enough place for me.

About the place

(wikipedia)

Ponta da Piedade (Portuguese for "Piety's Point") is a group of rock formations along the coastline of the town of Lagos, in the Portuguese region of the Algarve. Consisting of yellow-golden clifflike rocks up to 20 meters high, they are one of the most famous touristic attractions of Portugal. Several grottos in Ponta da Piedade can be visited by boat.

It's hard for me to imagine how difficult it could be for you to get up so early but I'm happy you did it!

[dmytrokorol]

Getting up isn't the hardest. The hardest is not to get back to bed ))
