3 Quarter

February 2008 – Lisbon, Portugal

I am not sure if this is a permanent exhibition, I don’t think so, but those numbers were everywhere. In that photo I wanted to get the next number within the first one… but also with some people in between so one could appreciate the size…

Tramway Postcard

Tramway Postcard

February 2008 – Lisbon, Portugal

This only one of the few photos I have applied some kind of special effect. I usually prefer not to, but this was an experiment. It kind of work, in the sense I wanted to give a feeling of old postcard with this old tramway… but I can’t help thinking more “noise” is missing in the center of that photo…

You get a really great view from the top of that old lift in the old part of Lisbon. I especially liked all those orange roof and all their different angles

View from Above

After walking for hours in the old part of Lisbon I found a little square at the top of a hill, there wasn’t many people and as I was lying on a bench, this is what I could see…

Amazing View

August 2008 – Lisbon, Portugal

This is a very old lift in Portugal’s capital right in the old part of the city. It is really worth it, as much for the short ride in what seems a lift from another century as for the amazing view of the city once at the top!

Mosaic Street

January 2008 – Lisbon, Portugal

Lisbon has amazing mosaic everywhere! It is like being back hundred years in time. I especially liked the colors and the fact they were so shiny as if someone was polishing the streets at night! ;)

Contrast in Poetry

February 2008 – Lisbon, Portugal

Lisbon is a beautiful city, I did not see much grafitti while strolling around the back streets appart from that street. I liked the fact those 2 grafittis, the Mac Donald’s one and the skull one were so different yet on the same wall!

Right, this will be the last photo of portugal for a while :)

This photo was taken after I took the lift which was in the previous photo. There was a small sqaure, very quiet, very picturesque… and as I was lying on a bench I loved the view… that view!

Amazing View

From that old lift you get an amazing view of Lisbon, the purpose of that lift appart from being a tourist attraction is a bit weird… just so you can get to the street above for a fee :)

Red Lantern

August 2008, Lisbon, Portugal

On the very street I took yesterday photo there was something typical from portugal, an external wall with tiles… which sometimes look like kitchen tiles by the way… I just liked the fact those lantern were almost the same color as the tiles…

Soleil Anyone?

August 2008, Lisbon, Portugal

11 November 2008 Note: When it was first published I made a mistake with the date and instead of publishing that photo on the 5th of November I published it on the 5th of October… fixed!

I like shop signs :)

And this one looked so old I couldn’t resist, I was on my way to the old castle and taking those little back streets was excellent!
