09.14.05 02 A great city

Newer Older

Aristotles once said: "A great city is not to be confounded with a populous one."

Days have been wonderfull around Lisboa, nights are warm and the city lights just make the city warmer and beautifull. It´s nice to stay out on the streets. Many thanx to you all for the comments.

Downtown Lisbon (Intersection of Rua de Santa Justa and Rua do Ouro. This photograph has been taken from Santa Justa's Lift at the top of the stairs when you go up to Chiado. 20:00 ).

    Abraço e conselho aceite obrigada! O DM é um jogo interessante mas, entre nós e espero que ninguém nos ouça, as reviews e alguns reviewers são uma treta! ;)

    luz excelente! foto muito boa.
    quanto às coordenadas estão um pouco mais para norte que a baixa, estão para ai nos anjos o que não é um grande erro em larga escala. :)

    I love this image..

    Sometimes it occurs to me that what is attractive about images like this is the way they do play to our sterotypical mind picture of foreign places, what we think they look like. Then again perhaps thats because so many places do look like we think they do, something Flickr often shows us.

    There's something about pictures of places and scenes like this - perhaps its the age thing, the history in all the walls and streets of cities that have stood for a thousand years or more - we don't get this down under, where history is measured in decades and no building is older than 200 years (and the majority no older than 100) - Australia is a young country still creating its history for toomorrow.

    Thank you for yet another glimpse of the world outside my door - this is why I love flickr. I loved this image so much I blogged it :)

    Very nice... added as a FAVORITE!

    p.s. we visited Lisbon a few years ago & loved it !
    We were impressed with the bridge that looks like the Golden Gate Bridge (we live in San Francisco, California,USA)

    Damn, You almost don't need my comment, but still you've caught me. I'm a sucker for all the old architecture, and the magical city spaces. I'll have to add you to my friends feed now.

    Linda foto, Matilde. Porque não adicioná-la ao "Fotógrafas de Lisboa || Lisbon Female Photographers"? ;-)
