Dawn Empire

Costa Vicentina and Sw Alentejo Natural Park
Portugal

It´s still night. 2 A.M, departing from Lisbon heading to the wilderness of Cape Vincent´s Southern coastline in Portugal. After 4 hours driving, plus some hiking trough some trails, before sunrise I reach this wild beach. For the first time.
I wanted a low tide and clear sky to study how the light played with the red rock, this is the comp. I brought from the journey.
