Great subjects

One of the most beautiful castles in Europe is the Pena National Palace in Sintra, Portugal.  Late afternoon sunlight illuminates the colorful architecture beautifully.  What is noteworthy about this picture is that this castle looks much better from a small distance away than it does from inside.  All of the visitors go inside the castle, but photographers need to find the paved trail that leads to an elevated perspective to get this classic shot.  In my eBook, The 52 Best Photo Locations in Europe, I provide GPS coordinates where you need to stand to get this vantage point as well as many other wonderful photographic subjects throughout Europe.
