 Evora, Portugal (asterix out lunch monoliths cromelech almendres nossa tree) - a photo by A.Miguel Oliveira
"Asterix is out for lunch"

_ Monoliths in the Cromelech of Almendres (in Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe, Évora) constitute the most important megalithic monument in the Iberian peninsula, and one of Europe's most important, not only by its size, but also by his condition (dates from 6000 B.C)

    Consciente que fizemos mais um cruzamento quase telepático? Acabei de ler o teu para mim :-)))

    Oh, Matey! This place! It is the most special to me in all of Portugal. This and the nearby large Anta of Zambujeira. I could tell you such a story of being there just me, all alone and what happened just 7 days before 11 Sept 2001. In fact I wrote it all.
    By the way, there are 113 +/- round stones in this cromelech.

    Excellent B&W picture and composition. Fantastic scenery
  • # posted by Erik Munch-Søegaard on May 17th, 2011 12:55 am
    Splendid compo/pov. The stones, use of light and shadow makes it mysterious, and gives it a extra understatment of historical old cultur and tradition.
