Afternoon in Porto

Porto, Portugal

Strolling through Porto, in late afternoon, I came across this veggie store, close to the river Douro. The light was warm and gave a dreamy, tranquill touch to the scene. I hope that I'm able to convey that feeling to you, what do you think?

    Hello Robert,
    my best compliments for this photo...it creates a very particular atmosphere...something that seems to be soft and delicate. Great.

    Danke Maria für deine nette Anmerkung. Die Häuser in Amsterdam sind nicht mehr gerade, weil der Boden immer sinkt. Amsterdam liegt unter dem Meeresspiegel. Deswegen pumpen wir das Wasser aus dem Boden um die Füße trocken zu halten. Das organische Material im Boden wird dadurch dichter wie ein trockener Schwamm wodurch der Boden und die Häuser weiter sinken.
    Hat wohl nichts mit Fotographie zu tun aber vielleicht findet jemand es interessant...
    LG, Robert

    und ich hab gedacht, dass krumme häuser nur im amsterdam gibt...wie ich sehe, gibt es auch geschlängelte häuser..
    ich hab die aufnahme mehrmals sehr lange angesehen und hab nachgedacht, was ich schreiben soll...
    ich weiss es...die häuser faszinieren mich...

    Very good captured Robert. I was in Porto too years ago and your photo bring back memories. I saw those scenes too. And yes there is a big contrast between rich and poor in the city.
    I like this warm light a lot.
    Greetings

    Thanks, Yan and Belinda, for your nice words.
    When I was in Porto I was impressed by the contrast between rich and poor in the city, sometimes separated by only a narrow street. These streets show, as you mentioned, the dynamics and struggle of daily life.
    Thanks for dropping by again :-)

    the warm lighting reaaally makes the beautiful red roofs so much more prominent. i love how old world yet modern this shot feels. the laundry blowing in the breeze makes this otherwise quiet shot, a little more dynamic.

    Good capture! :D
