Alentejo - Monsaraz
Perched above the Alqueva dam, Monsaraz benefits from a strategic location and a defensive potential that has always been recognized, as the Roman, Visigothic and Celtic passages attest.
Conquered to the Moors, in the reign of D. Dinis and delivered its defense to the Templars, it is this military order that adds to it, in the 14th century, the walls and the castle from where, even today one can look at neighboring Spain or extend the view across the great Alentejo plains.
With its narrow cobbled streets, which meander among ancient houses with white walls, it offers those who pass by there a very authentic feel of an ancient and medieval Portugal.
Alentejo - Monsaraz
Empoleirada por cima da albufeira do Alqueva, Monsaraz benificia duma localização estratégica e de um potencial defensivo desde sempre reconhecido, como a passagem de romanos , visigodos e celtas o atestam.
Conquistada aos mouros , no reinado de D. Dinis e entregue a sua defesa aos Templários, é esta ordem militar que lhe acrescenta, no século 14, as muralhas e o castelo de onde, ainda hoje se pode olhar para a vizinha Espanha ou estender a vista através das grandes planícies Alentejanas.
Com suas ruas estreitas de paralelepípedos, que serpenteiam entre casas antigas de paredes brancas, oferece a quem por lá passa uma sensação, muito autentica, de um Portugal antigo e medieval.

Morning light creating wall bokeh, the ever present ladder's shadow, and reflection in the glass of the framed print revealing the window through which the light came.
I really like the soft blurriness of the shadows contrasting with the sharp frame. I also like how the window's screen created a subtle texture on the wall. And I like the contrast of color between inside and outside.
Most of all I like how lucky I am to have lived this lifetime.
Happy Wall Wednesday!
My subject of interest was the fishing boat, but the photo ended up including this ornamental stone wall as well.
The wall is part of a children's play area, the latter of which is on the other side of the right hand wall.
La fiesta de la luz y el color que disfrutamos en Ávila nos invita a soñar con un mundo donde aún es posible la fantasía.
Within the old Lodgings building this wall spoke to me - the different colours, shapes, the chips and marks on each stone, and within a wall that's over 500 years old.
'Wall of Windows' as viewed from the Peekaboo Loop Trail -
Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah, United States
I'm revisiting the photos I took of Bryce Canyon back in 2009, reprocessing many, adding a few, and deleting others.
Above these walls there is a place. Follow the path of your imagination. Can you see that far. What if, my mind will take me, and if you see, what then. Let us wonder together, and we will see.
A gorgeous view down the Upper Eskdale Valley from the high ground near the old Roman Fort at Hardknott, looking towards the Scafell range.
My eye was drawn by the long dry stone wall that leads right up the valley, which certainly stood out in the bright late afternoon winter sunlight.
I had wandered around the ruins of the Roman Fort and had the whole area to myself. It certainly had me thinking what life must have been like for the Roman Soldiers stationed here on this lofty site throughout the winter months, miles from their Mediterranean climes! There certainly would not have been many winter days like this one to enjoy, for sure!
