Cape Roca
Sintra Cascais NP. Portugal
During a low tide, and in a time of year when there was to much sand on some Cape Roca´s wild bays, I found and explored this coastal caves that totally surprised me and invaded me in such adrenaline on a photographic manner. Couldn´t believe it... a magnificent view, a scary and at the same time beautiful place. I walked trough dozens of meters height cliffs carefully, sometimes grabbing some ropes left by the fishermen to aid in the most difficult trail zones. Down there... an adventurer´s tail, I have no words... well, but there´s an image
Used D300, grip, bubble level, tripod, cable release.
