Photographer's Note

This is another old tower in ruins, in the plains of Alentejo. Dating probably from the 15th century, it's impossible to date it correctly. It presents some Renaissance characteristics, especially inside and most probably it was built to be a military tower. It is mostly known as Alamo Tower or Camoes Tower - Alamo because it's situated in a private property called Alamo and Camões because some say there's a possibility this tower belonged to the family of Luis Vaz de Camoes, one of our most famous poets, who lived in the 16th century.
It's now a complete ruin, surrounded by a fence and cattle and visited by storks.

Bonjour Ana,

C'est spectaculaire comme composition. Toute une contre plongée qui donne beaucoup d'ampleur à cette ruine et utilise bien le ciel comme arrière plan. L'oiseau passe juste au bon moment.

Amicalement

Serge
