i'd be delighted, if i received a post card from portugal's coast with the photograph above. first of all i personally like narrowed sections way more than vast overviews, which is why i almost never miss a wide-angel option for my daily photography. and in the second place i think, that the shown scene is very typical for the rural region between porto and lisbon: resilience, colourfullness, bluntness, beauty.

btw: if my arguments hadn't been just this tiny little bit stronger than tina's, we'd have returned home with three instead of two cases, the additional one filled with various portuguese tiles from the flea market...
