Clear View of Casa Velha, Cascais

It's time for another nice memory of Portugal. Mauro showed me around Cascais when I visited in July of 2004. Cascais is a very lively beach town, with lots of white buildings and colorful flowers. I took pictures of one of the main streets, but sometimes it is better to capture the feel of a place with a closer look. So tonight I cropped this image from one of my photos. I think it communicates a sense of Cascais looks like. Taking photos in the bright sunshine of Cascais was a challenge; I adjusted the contrast, but not too much because the bright light and dark shadows are part of the experience. But after all that, there was a pesky television antenna that was creating a distraction in the background, so I opened the image in Painter IX, and used a little digital airbrush to create a clearer view.
