Porto, a photo from Porto, North

Photographer's Note

"Overlooking the Douro River, Porto is one of the most ancient European cities, It was born and developed from the northern bank of this river during the Middle Ages. One of the most significant aspects of Porto and its historical centre is its landscape, combining harmony with the urban structure and presenting a frame of rare beauty. The city was classified as World Heritage by UNESCO in 1996.
When discovering Porto, you will find many surprises. Besides its welcoming and conservative environment, Porto is also contemporany and artistic. This is shown not only in the streets, architecture, monuments and museums but also in the terraces, restaurants and leisure and shopping areas.Overlooking the Douro River, Porto is one of the most ancient European cities, It was born and developed from the northern bank of this river during the Middle Ages.

Ol� Ana,

linda vista dessa cidade que cheira hist鏎ia. Gosto muito desa rua em curva e a beleza da arquitetura ao fundo. Interessante ver o movimento das pessoas ao fundo. Tecnicamente me agrada o ponto de vista e a nitidez da imagem. Muito bela captura!

Ol� Ana, ora aqui est� uma vista original do Porto, diferente da tradicional vista da Ribeira. Excelente uso do muro, para nos levar por a� abaixo ao encontro das pessoas. Grande vista dos monumentos.
Bom fim de semana,
ricardo

Ol� Ana,

O que mais gosto da foto � a luz porque no Porto n緌 � f塶il conseguir esta luminosidade. O POV � muito bonito mostra um mix de arquitectura. A cor e defini誽o ficaram bem captadas.
Fica bem,
Filipe

Hej Ana,
You found a very good viewpoint for this photo of the city. A nice high point with a good addition of the curved road in front. The light is pleasing too and I like also to see all these many people on the square. Well done!
Regards,
Lars
