Solar do Vinho do Porto (Digitally Edited)

I have so many wonderful memories of my trip to Portugal, and this is one of them: looking out at the Douro River from the rose garden at the Solar do Vinho do Porto. If you want to sit in the garden, you are required to drink port. I sipped a port cocktail with orange juice, and mint, while I watched the late afternoon light. Of course, I took pictures, too. The original version of this photograph came out of the camera in pretty good shape. I just adjusted the exposure a little bit, and used some cut-and-paste to get rid of some distractions in the foreground. Apart from that, the photo has not been changed. It was really this beautiful there.
