Entry #2 in this week's challenge - the well-known Praia dos Pescadores, Albufeira, the Algarve, Portugal. Most photos of this beach are taken during the day, and depending on the season it could be covered in lounges, umbrellas and people. This was off-season, in February, so not many people on the beach most days, but this shot of the sunrise just breaking over the horizon and illuminating the beach was unusual because I was able to get it from a friend's hotel in Old Town when we picked them up in the early morning to drive them to the airport in Lisbon.
Canon EOS, standard lens, f/5, 1/20 sec., ISO 3200, focal length 44 mm. Slightly cropped.

Thanks for feedback. If you are interested you should look at my blog series Portugal - 13 posts so far. Written for old people visiting from Canada for the winter (like me), but also lots of info you might find interesting. Following.

We've spent 4 winters there, almost a year in total, so 'Yes'! I'm doing a blog called 'Portugal' about our experiences there, up to 14 posts now - written from a Canadian perspective but you will find some general info that might help, e.g. what to look for in an apartment and how to get around.
Thanks for the feedback - any questions after you look at my posts give me a shout. Following.

Lots of Germans there, some Dutch and French too. Not sure I would go in the summer, very hot and too many tourists especially in Albufeira. As I said any questions let me know. Safe travels. PS - where in Germany? We lived there 4 years in the 1980s.
