The Helios route

[ewkaw]

The light was good, the nature was lush and bursting with colours. And typically when Mr. Helios goes for a walk magic stuff happen!

He sees what other don't see.
He sees the fairies among the trees, the light bubbles poking fresh eaves.
He sees magic hidden among the flowers.

He will tickle the old and dry ones.

Throw some soft pillows under the trees for the leaves to have soft landing...

And then will dance with the daisies that grow long the path.

Because Mr. Helios is special.
And everything he looks at feel likes from a fairy land.

All photos were taken in Quinta da Regaleria garden in Portugal. The lens really helps to capture the amazing nature there, but even without it is a truly magical place! Full of narrow paths hidden between tall trees and thick bushes. And every corner feels like you discovered a treasure.

This place and the nature around it really look like a fairy land.

[ewkaw]

It is! And it is always green! Some special micro climate there that keeps it all fresh and happy while just 50 km away things dry up. Really cool!

Wonderful pictures...actually Sony a7 series are good with Manuel lenses...results are generally awesome...

Have a nice day...

[ewkaw]

Oh yes.. way easier to use with the focus guides. I don't have that in my Nikon and it is hit and miss most of the time :p
