A couple more shots taken with my Helios.
Can't get enough of this little gem.
I photographed these in Sintra - Portugal.
The exact place is called Quinta da Regaleira, just outside Lisbon, full of gorgeous green areas, caves, palaces, lakes and chapels.
You can easily get "lost" during a whole day there, admiring and exploring all the natural and architectural beauties that keep popping in front of your eyes. You will find Moorish, Gothic, Egyptian and Renaissance traces all over the place.
It still amazes me every single time how close it is from Lisbon and how different it looks like. Even the weather feels different due to its own micro-climate and height difference.
This first image is a detail from one of the many stairs connecting the different garden levels, with a tiny mysterious cave blurred in the background.

The one bellow is from the same stairs.
This time I focused on few leaves decaying on the handrail, just to get my daily bokeh fix (one of the many needed to keep me going).
Everything there was built in stone, and since the atmosphere is normally very moisty because the altitude and the ocean proximity, everything is covered with little green moss patches, giving it an unique and very picturesque look.

THAT SMALL GESTURE WILL MAKE A WHOLE LOT OF DIFFERENCE TO US!
