Stairway to the Heavens. βοΈ
The imposing facade of Santa Luzia in Viana do Castelo. Looking up at the SantuΓ‘rio just before the light began to fade, there is a quiet power to this place sitting high up on the mountain.
I wanted to use the stairs as leading lines to draw the eye straight up to that stunning rose window and the statue of the Sacred Heart. I shot this wide at 18mm to capture the full grandeur of the Neo-Byzantine architecture against the evening sky.
Tech Specs: π· Nikon D3100 | 18-55mm kit lens βοΈ 18mm | f/5.6 | 1/125s | ISO 100

Taking in the incredible panoramic views from the Sanctuary of the Sacred Heart of Jesus atop Mount Santa Luzia. Below lies the historic port city of Viana do Castelo, a gem of the Minho region. Itβs hard to believe looking at this vast coastline that the Spanish border is just over 20km north!
