Barro Alto Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Walking down from Bairro Alto towards the city centre - staying with friends here was fun..for me anyway - I think the African drumming until three in the morning from the cafe across the road 15 feet away was getting a bit much for them but I loved it!

My first and only time in Lisbon - our friends are currently our next door neighbours in the UK - they hear me playing djembe through the walls! I guess at least it feels like home!

Good colour tones and POV, Kev. The figure adds to the photo, as does the logo (or graffiti!) on the tram. Perhaps a little shaded in the foreground. Excellent all around shot

Wow, I love all the angles in this photograph! Great, dynamic composition. Definitely bends my mind a bit..

The angles, textures, echoed shapes of tall windows and the chaotic tram lines all add up to one very interesting composition. Nice work!!

Great photo! All the contrasting angles are fantastic. I like the bland colors and graininess of the photo. It really adds a gritty feel to the photo. Really nice!

Interesting composition. The colours are similar which creates a harmonious shot. Also, the lines of the buildings, tracks and stairs etc. add interesting elements to the view.
