Sintra, Portugal

A medium shot captures a stone archway framing a lush, plant-filled alcove. The archway is constructed from weathered, light-coloured stone, showing signs of age and texture. It rests on two ornate stone pillars, partially visible on the left and right. Within the archway, the alcove features a textured, off-white wall. A large, ornate stone planter, supported by sculpted figures, sits centrally on a slightly raised stone platform. This planter is overflowing with a dense, dark green fern, possibly a member of the Marattiaceae family. Around the base of the planter, and spilling onto the stone floor, are various other plants, including large, glossy green Monstera leaves with characteristic fenestrations, and smaller, darker foliage. A few vibrant orange flowers add pops of colour amongst the greenery. The stone floor of the alcove is uneven and shows signs of wear. The overall scene evokes a sense of a tranquil, enclosed garden space within an older building.
