The gentle, golden light of the Alentejo sunset makes the medieval walls of Castelo de Mourão stand out against a wide open field. The stone walls that have been there for hundreds of years gaze out over olive trees that have been there for thousands of years. I framed this moment to highlight how the castle blends nicely with its surroundings, emphasis on being alone and strong. The warm light brings out the textures, which reminds us of how Portugal's rural heartland tells a story that mixes memory and nature.
