Location
Serra da Estrella Portugal Torre is the highest point of Mainland Portugal, and the second most elevated of the Portuguese Republic. This point is not a distinctive mountain summit, but rather the highest point in a mountain range.Time
during the afternoonLighting
it seems to me that the sunset light in the mountains looks different, brighter, and more direct.Equipment

The Torre itself. In summer or winter, mainland Portugal’s highest mountain is the perfect scenery for a few relaxing days in contact with nature. Incredible views from the summit. the whole area is incredibly beautiful, but this is a summit which enables an astonishing view. This day was clouded which helped creating this mystic feel.Editing
a little saturation to bring out the distinctive colors and contrast.In my camera bag

Amazing views. Beautiful Sunset! The architecture of The Torre itself, the different layers of details and colors. The road to Torre takes you through interesting landscapes.
