"Tower of Belem" Wins Award

My shot of the Tower of Belem, which guards the harbor of Lisbon, Portugal, took first place for this week in the We Travel the World contest, a Flickr photo group with 6,669 members. I was invited to submit it. It was my introduction to online photo groups and my first photo submitted.
