O Lis a passar entre edifícios, deve haver um moinho por aí.

@António Pires: Muito atento. :) Existe de facto uma nora do lado esquerdo. Aliás, o edificio do lado esquerdo é um restaurante muito conhecido que se chama "A Casa da Nora". Obrigado António

This is really fine work. Good tonality - and those reflections are perfect to the composition.

Me gusta, si... siempre tengo un poco de nostalgia viendo fotos en blanco y negro... mi juventud, i mis principios, revelando las fotos en casa con mi padre....

@Francesc B.: A mi también me encantan las fotos en BN. Yo empecé hace unos años con los 35 mm, y cuando estudiava teníamos uno estudio donde hemos aprendido a revelar. Por esa altura yo deveria tener unos 16-17 años y fué cúando la pasión se ha empezado a desarollar. Después he estado afastado unos años, pero ahora ha vuelto... y con el digital todo es mucho mas sencillo... pero aún me gustan mas las tradicionales fotos BN de filme.
Gracias Francesc

Very strange place with the water coming on the walls. The Portugal Venise?
3 Oct 2008 6:36am
@akarui: Oh no. In this area, they built a few houses close to the river. Before, the house on the left was a water mill. Now it has been transformed into a restaurant.
Thanks akarui
@Zygène: Merci Zygene
