Canon has strengths for sunsets, Nikon for dusk – since I have a Nikon blue is my favorite color 🙂
First phase: twilight
Second phase: dusk
Third phase: nightfall at Cascais. All the shades of azul in these pictures, click to enlarge.
Holy trees!
Sometimes a wide-angle is needed for seeing the shoulders of giants…
Banana tree (do you see the green bananas?) and spike tree
Tall tree and palms
Not only wood: columns from the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, palm boulevard from the Lisbon Tropical Garden nearby. Pictures shot with Nikon 16-35 mm f/4 on D800. Click to enlarge

A gorgeous past, an uncertain present, will the sleeping King return on a misty morning to Portugal? Pictures shot at the Padrão dos Descobrimentos, the Castle of São Jorge, the Fundação Centro Cultural de Belém and in front of the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos
