Explored this whilst on holiday in Portugal.

In the late 40s in the sun every day (a guaranteed 38c in the shade every day and 28c at night) this made a change from some of the soggy explores back in Blighty.

Despite the wealth in The Algarve, the roadsides are littered with derps, from scorched ruins and decaying villas to abandoned construction projects.

Unwisely went back to photograph this at night.

Sorry, no history on this one.

thanks for looking
 
I definitely agree with you that it was worth it for that shot :) Is The Algarve unsafe at night?

Thanks :)
Errrm, nah Algarve is fine. Watch your valuables as usual abroad.

As for going into a derelict building, on your own at night with a beer, in a foreign country, when you don't know the local trespass law or speak the local lingo... Probably not the best idea I've had :D
 
Thanks guys :)
Every night was very clear, so got some good star shots and even the arm of the galaxy.
The Mrs sighed when I packed the tripod in the suitcase :D
