Algarve Dogs

This house was next to my father-in-law’s place in the Algarve, southern Portugal, and every morning these dogs rested their snouts in these roof windows while taking a snooze. They couldn’t believe I waited almost a week before taking their picture!

Algarve Dogs belongs to the following groups:

    Thanks so much for the comments. As I usually totally miss the moment, I was pretty happy that a grab like this came along. The fact that I waited 5 days before taking it made me understand why I usually totally miss the moment!

    Talk about random! Whoa…...... this is AWESOME. Did they mind you camping out with your sleeping bag and tent for a week? ;-) what a fun and sweet shot!

  • billyboy

    billyboy

    Thanks guys! No Kimberly, they didn`t mind me camping out `cause all they did was sleep all day. They`d wake up at sunset and bark all night long. So yes Claudia, I had bones to pick with them bigtime!

    Excellent capture!! Love it! I like how in the second window where there is no dog, there is a post or building (or whatever it is!) in the background!

    Thanks so much for your comments and encouragement… Mel, Sara, Nellie, BlueT, Melissa, Pete, Deborah and Aneta!

  • billyboy

    By the way Deborah, behind the window with the missing dog is a chimney—they do them like this in the Algarve and it is an identifying feature of the region. Like chocolate in Belgium! Thanks again for the interest!

    lol… they are so cute… and I especially like the fact that you got that structure in the background… it is so well balanced… :) Love it… Great capture… (and I guess it was jsut perfect to let them get to know you a bit before you take a picture… ;) although they don’t really look nasty… but at least they got to have a few “contacts” with you before you did it… :) )
    Great work…

  • Barbara Sparhawk

    Barbara Sparhawk

    Incredibly fine, the watchers at the gate. And the building itself is a perfection of workmanship. Very beautiful. The German shepherds are fabulous, and have a self-assured kind of boredom to their faces, as if the job is not as challenging as it might be for them.

  • Ryan Houston

    Ryan Houston

    Awesome shot…which city is this? I used to live in Lagos and Faro

  • billyboy replied

    Hi Ryan!
    This was taken around the corner form my father-in-law`s place in Carvoeiro which is equidistant between Faro on the east and Sagres on the west. Of course we always came into Faro airport, but never spent much time there… on the other hand, we knew some people in Lagos so went there several times. What a beautiful place… you`re lucky to have lived there!
    IOn fact for me, the whole of the Algarve has the most beautiful coastline in Europe and I feel blessed to have been able to visit often. It`s been a while, but hope to go back soon.
    Thanks for the interest…. and for the fav!!
