Columns and Shadows - a photo on Flickriver

Soft light on columns near Ingreja Da Graca, Lisbon.

This is perhaps not quite a typical Lisbon, Portugal photograph, and it came about as a result of one of our more or less random exploration walks — something that characterizes our travel. We started from our lodgings, wandered downhill to a central square, crossed and began ascending, and eventually turned toward the hill where the St. George Castle is located. We climbed up to it, but decided not to join the tourist throngs inside, preferring to wander around the periphery… and that led us to this convent and church nearby. (The full name is longer than what I’ve used here, by the way.)

After wandering inside the beautiful church, we walked around the grounds of the convent, a quiet and not-very-busy place that contrasted with what we had experienced earlier in the day. These columns, in lovely soft light, lined a walkway around an inner courtyard.
