21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Sunset over Sintra Castle

We had hiked around the extensive gardens of Sintra Castle near Lisbon, Portugal, for the whole afternoon. I chased my girlfriend up a viewpoint so we could capture the sunset, which is we managed to do. I took this shot through the stone cross marking the highest spot, as it provided a beautiful frame for the fairy tale castle.
