Photographer’s Note
Photo in the marginal of the city of Vila Nova de Gaia
The other side is the city of the Port
The Douro or Duero (Latin: Durius, Spanish: Duero, pron. ['dwe̞ɾo̞], Portuguese: Douro, pron. ['doɾu] is one of the major rivers of the Iberian Peninsula, flowing from its source near Duruelo de la Sierra in the province of Soria across northern-central Spain and Portugal to its outlet at Porto. Its total length is 897 km, of which only sections on the Portuguese river are navigable by light rivercraft.
The name may have come from the Celtic tribes that inhabited the area before Roman times. (However, although in modern Welsh dwr is 'water' with cognate "dobhar" in Irish, the Celtic root is *dubro- ).

Hi Goncalo,
I comment mostly because of the uniqueness of this image. Yet it is so striking because of the brillian colors and contrasts. A nice idea to share. TFS. Gerald

Hi Goncalo, Interesting view of the river in this light. And I would think that the name of the river is because this colour (like in Dorado).Nice composition.
Warm regards

Gonçalo,
que cores lindas!!!
Sua composição ficou até poética com o remo (é isso mesmo né?) inclinado dentro d'água.
Parabéns e grande abraço,
Wagner.

linda vista abstrata usando as luzes e a água para criar a imagem. gostei do resulktado estético, casa bem como nome do rio, que se é de origem pré-romano, com certeza estes pensaram em dourados e ouros quando o chamaram assim, a sua foto reforça isso neste momento. haha
abraços

Olá Gonçalo,
Aqui nem precisaste de filtros manhosos para obter um efeito fantástico. Dá ideia de ser ouro líquido... E graficamente também está estupenda, fizeste maravilhas apenas com um remo e uns reflexos.
Um abraço,
José

Bonjour Gonçalo.
Le titre de la photo lui convient parfaitement. Ces reflets d'or sont de toute beauté. J'aime les nuances des couleurs et le graphisme qui semblent provenir d'une peinture abstraite.
Amicalement

Hi Goncalo!
I am not sure to understand what it is and actually, I don't care, because what matters to me now, is that it's beautiful. I like very much the texture, and the golden hues are splendid. Well done.
Regards

It's true...the river does look like liquid gold..Like the diagonal of the oar, disturbing the water slightly & adding a nice detail to this picture. Well done my friend!
Um Abraco
