Just some of the photographs I've taken of Luz taken over the last few years.
There is no particular arrangement of the layout, or reason for that matter for the more obscure subject matters, just 'pics' snapped at the time.
Hopefully they may give you an idea of the place in and out of season.
Apologies for some of the earlier pictures as the quality of the enlargements could have been better.
