Description
When you are in the Algarve, the most southwestern point of Portugal, you are on the "corner" of Europe. You can't go farther west or south, without being in a boat. These magnificent cliffs have stood from times immemorial.
The mist adds to the atmosphere while little yellow flowers add a bit of fresh foliage. A strong image for a room full of gorgeous, warm colors.
The quite unstable cliffs, that extend from Lagos to Portimao, are a limestone shelf with conspicuous, horizontal banding. The instability has led to portions shifting, and thus "dropping" as shown here. (Wikipedia)
