Roof tiles, Castro Marim, southern Portugal

Roof tiles in the southern Portuguese village of Castro Marim. The semi-tubular shapes of the terra cotta tiles are redolent of Southern Europe and the Mediterranean. Portuguese tiles have their own distinctive shape, but what interested me here was the conflict between the two roofs, which slope at right angles to one another. The roofs are in fact being viewed from a high angle, from the battlements of Castro Marim castle.
