stunning

Azenhas do Mar (Lisbon Region), Portugal

This amazing little town on the Atlantic was a complete unexpected surprise.  I was driving along the jagged coastline, turned a corner and saw this.  It literally took my breath away.  There was no place to stop the car, so I kept going, stopped where I could, got out of the car and walked back to this point.  This moment will never be erased from my mind.

Portugal is full of an infinite number of unexpected moments like this one.
