Gothic Arches of Convento do Carmo Illuminated at Night - Lisbon, Portugal
This nighttime photograph captures the dramatic ruins of the Convento do Carmo in Lisbon, Portugal. The soaring Gothic arches of the once-grand convent stand against the dark sky, their stone structure illuminated by soft lighting. The Convento do Carmo was partially destroyed in the devastating 1755 Lisbon earthquake, and its roofless nave has been preserved as a haunting reminder of the city's history.
