Wallpaper Details: Freezing Sunset At Serra Da Estrela, Portugal
Freezing Sunset at Serra Da Estrela, Portugal
By Joel Antunes
April 4th, 2009
After waiting inside my car and a couple of attempts to take a nice capture. I headed from London to my home town in Portugal and wasn't aware of the snow and the cold local wind. At a temperature of -6 wearing only a t-shirt I decided to make it. I walked out of my car and quickly returned to my initial spot. After a few attempts with my freezing hands I managed to capture the magical light just one time. Regards. Joel Antunes.

I'm guessing you mean Celsius and not Fahrenheit - but that's still insane. And only a t-shirt? Portugal prohibiting pants these days?

I was searching for something new for my desktop.
I found it. Great shot.

I never knew Portugal could be so cold at this time of year?! Excellent picture, added to my 'Wallpaper Master' cycle.

The alignment is reminiscent of the Heel Stone of Stonehenge. Nice shot.

The light is great, the foreground is pretty average, but I guess it was hard to find something else in that freezing weather with no pants on! :)

Superb shot with an absolutely stunning sun, love the colours, the rock helps to bring a bit of foreground attention to the picture which is very welcome.

I agree with most of the others: a wonderful shot. I know Interfacelift runs a lot of sunset pictures, but if they're as nice as this they can keep right on running them.

Definitely a very nice shot, beautiful colours and composition, i just keep staring at it.
It's a shame about the movement blur on the bottom left really, but the rest is a very nice shot :)
