"The Parrot" of Afife (Portugal)

in #nature5 years ago (edited)

Here are a couple of shots of a strange rock formation, in the town of Afife, near Viana do Castelo, in the North of Portugal.

This rock is referred to by the locals as "The Parrot" because from this angle, it looks like a Parrot. When people first told me about it I thought to myself: "Meh. Yeah, right." 🙄

But when I got there... I saw that, indeed, some of its features look like a beak and an eye.

Here's a close up shot, so you can see it better.

These photos were taken by my smartphone, a Samsung Galaxy A70. It takes really good pics... except when you zoom. Using the zoom feature, the photos get a bit blurry, as you can verify on this last shot. Mobile phones have come a long way, but let's face it, it going to be a while before they can compete with a good compact camera.

Great views! I totally agree with you about any decent camera being much better for photography than a mobile smartphone. In my opinion, photos taken with a smartphone (even with the latest one) are just satisfatory when it comes to quality and look good only on the screen of a smartphone. It's enough to compare the size of lenses. ;)

Yeah but they don't fit in a pocket. Sometimes, the phone will have to do! 😁
