Buildings and woods, walls and plants, stones and leaves. An unintentional camouflage in the gardens of Quinta de Regaleira and Sintra. Without the colorful help, do you spy the camouflage in the last picture?
Click each picture to enlarge and tell rocks from stems. The last picture depicts Castelo dos Mouros (Castle of Moors), up on the peaks of Sintra. Click it to enlarge.
Hidden in the woods of Sintra (Portugal) is Quinta da Regaleira. This unique Unesco heritage is a fusion of Gothic, Roman, Renaissance and Manuelino architecture adorned with alchemy and masonic relics. Lose yourself through the labyrinth gardens, reach the cave system and come back to light through the initiatory well.
And after you got initiated click each picture to magnify stone and plant patterns…
