A Warm-up Shot for the Torre de Belem Online Contest

My friends & I are thinking of a way to have an online competition of photos featuring the magical Torre de Belem.

I felt like getting in an early taster, a collage of a few shots taken last September 6th, when Mariza gave a perfect concert to an open-air audience of over 10,000 beside the tower, which was lit up for the occasion.

As the concert was coming to an end, i walked over to the tower to take some pictures. I'd never seen it like this before, as if it was part of a fairy tale.
In the mosaic, to the left of Mariza, you can see one unforgettable moment. As she sang her last song, a couple suddenly appeared on the steps, bathed in the arc-lights and danced. This shot took 7 seconds of exposure, meaning that the result was even more out of this world.
Now, what about this competition? Posted by Picasa

Ana, agradeço sinceramente o seu comentário. Seja bem vinda e volte sempre! Eu procuro mais visitas e comentários dos desconhecidos/as, pois isto é tão interessante como forma de conhecer a sociedade em que estamos inseridos, não é?
