A few Praia da Luz Photographs

Just some of the photographs of Praia da Luz I've taken over the last few years ( also a few contributed by friends ). 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.
For more photographs of slightly further afield see the Algarve Photo page.
Like most of the photographs on this site, just click on the picture for a larger image.
Apologies for some of the earlier pictures as the quality of the enlargements could have been better.
New A ( tidier? ) change to the gallery layout to start off 2011, see the box below for details.
