en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queluz_National_Palace
The Queluz National Palace (Portuguese: Palácio Nacional de Queluz) is a Portuguese 18th-century palace located at Queluz, a freguesia of the modern-day Sintra Municipality, in the Lisbon District. One of the last great Rococo buildings to be designed in Europe, the palace was conceived as a summer retreat for Dom Pedro of Braganza, later to become husband and then king consort to his own niece, Queen Maria I. It served as a discreet place of incarceration for Queen Maria as her descent into madness continued in the years following Dom Pedro's death in 1786. Following the destruction by fire of the Ajuda Palace in 1794, Queluz Palace became the official residence of the Portuguese prince regent, John VI, and his family and remained so until the Royal Family fled to Brazil in 1807 following the French invasion of Portugal.
Work on the palace began in 1747 under the architect Mateus Vicente de Oliveira. Despite being far smaller, the palace is often referred to as the Portuguese Versailles. From 1826, the palace slowly fell from favour with the Portuguese sovereigns. In 1908, it became the property of the state. Following a serious fire in 1934, which gutted the interior, the palace was extensively restored, and today is open to the public as a major tourist attraction.
One wing of the palace, the Pavilion of Dona Maria, built between 1785 and 1792 by the architect Manuel Caetano de Sousa, is now a guest house allocated to foreign heads of state visiting Portugal.

O Palácio Real de Queluz (também chamado de Palácio Nacional) é um palácio do século XVIII localizado na cidade de Queluz no concelho de Sintra, distrito de Lisboa. Um dos últimos grandes edifícios em estilo rococó erguidos na Europa, o palácio foi construído como um recanto de verão para D. Pedro de Bragança, que viria a ser mais tarde marido e rei consorte de sua sobrinha, a rainha D. Maria I de Portugal.
Serviu como um discreto lugar de encarceramento para a rainha Maria I enquanto sua loucura continuou a piorar após a morte de D. Pedro em 1786. Após o incêndio que atingiu o Palácio da Ajuda em 1794, o Palácio de Queluz tornou-se a residência oficial do príncipe regente português, o futuro D. João VI, e de sua família. Permaneceu assim até a fuga da família real para o Brasil em 1807, devido à invasão francesa em Portugal.
A construção do Palácio iniciou-se em 1747, tendo como arquiteto Mateus Vicente de Oliveira. Apesar de ser muito menor, é chamado frequentemente de "o Versalhes português". A partir de 1826, o palácio lentamente deixou de ser o predileto pelos soberanos portugueses. Em 1908, tornou-se propriedade do Estado. Após um grave incêndio em 1934, o qual destruiu o seu interior, o Palácio foi extensivamente restaurado e, hoje, está aberto ao público como um ponto turístico.
Uma das alas do Palácio de Queluz, o Pavilhão de Dona Maria, construído entre 1785 e 1792 pelo arquiteto Manuel Caetano de Sousa, é hoje um quarto de hóspedes exclusivo para chefes de Estado estrangeiros em visita a Portugal.
Foi classificado como Monumento Nacional em 1910.

From years of hiding my image from the internet (until more recently) to now being caught center stage on Canadian Mountain Holidays' website.
If you haven't tried heli-hiking before, it's amazing. A condensed photo album with videos and a few snaps from the experience can be found here: www.flickr.com/photos/sifu_renka/albums/72157685104078392

I combined two different white balance temperatures for this image. The background is 9100 k (as shot) and the model is at 6500 k (converted in camera raw). I like the model being a little crisper/cleaner.
