Two figures sit on the moss-green rocks below the Castillo de San Sebastian, watching the sky burn through orange, pink and deep blue as the sun drops into the Atlantic. The castle's stone wall fills the right side of the frame, standing in as exactly the kind of backdrop that gives this photograph its name.

Series: Cadiz Seascapes

The Castle of Saint Sebastian sits on a small island connected to the city by a long causeway, at the very tip of the Cadiz peninsula. Unobstructed views west over open water make it one of the most popular spots in the city to watch the sun go down, as the two onlookers in this frame are doing.
