Sintra, Portugal

Guincho, Portugal

This was a though photo to get. If you know the place (Guincho) you know that the beach is easily seen from the main road. You probably also know that this place is a great spot for windsurfers. That's because it can be extremely windy.

I saw these beautiful ripples in the sand when I passed driving... I stopped the car just ahead and got my camera. Well it was windy! Let's just say that framing, etc was fun in these one. My girlfriend ran back to the car. I was able to take one shot with the sand "biting" my skin! I even got sand in my underwear. It was really hardcore.

An outstanding shot. I love the FG detail & the lines posited against the ocean/mountain BG. It was well worth the sand blasting to get this shot.
