Pena National Palace in Sintra, Portugal
Textures!
You may notice today’s photo has a fun series of textures on it. I do this a lot whenever the sky is a bit dull or I just want to give it a nice effect. Be sure to go Grab my textures and texture tutorial from the store if you want to try it too.
Daily Photo – Pena National Palace in Sintra, Portugal
This is probably the most beautiful castle/palace thing I’ve ever visited in my life. I think it’s officially called a palace, but I think of it more like a Disney castle. The colors are all real that you see here! (Well, I added some texture in the sky for fun, but the colors are all true-to-life). It’s set in the middle of a sprawling 200-acre forest park. There are paths all over the place, but it’s actually quite hard to find a place to take a photo like this. You definitely can’t get this view from any of the standard lookout spots. It takes just a little bit of rock-climbing and clambering around to get this view.
