this temple has a history... I haven't got chance to see this one but you can find a replica in Brazil.
Nice shot! :clap:
Well done! This is a :+fav:

Thank you for the :+fav:!

Now you've really given me a reason to visit Brazil. Not like I needed another reason, but I'd like to see the replica. Thank you for that.

Great shot, i have seen a pic of this before on DA but this one beats it big time.

Pure luck.

We were running late and only had about five minutes to stop and see the place before getting on the train to head home. I was just happy to have enough clouds to keep the contrast down and no wind to stir the water. But I was jostling around 100 other people to get to the rail to get this shot before we ran off.

Yeah, it's a common shot for tourists and those of us that live over here.

Matter of fact, my wife said she wanted to visit the temple because she saw a picture of it in someone else's DA gallery.

HAHA!

We'll have to work out a trade. My family and I are still trying to get over to Europe.

I've spent about 7 hours in Lisbon, but that was between flights and very late at night. I was just happy to get a pillow to lay my head on!

I love doing that with the water, you could fool someone if you turned it upside down.

About the shot itself, it's very calming. For some reason, however, it alarms me, brings to mind where the POV is. Then again I'm psychotic. :)
