Trams have a special importance in Lisbon. They were founded in 1873, driven by horses. In 1901 the first electrical tram Eléctricos de Lisboa got in use and a year later all were electrified. A lot of them were closed later, but still some do remain. Around the Praça do Comércio several lines also some tourist ones come together. A clear sign of this is captured here.
Does anybody ask for cloning out the wires?

Straßenbahnen haben eine spezielle Bedeutung in Lissabon. Sie wurden 1873 in Betrieb genommen, von Pferden gezogen. 1901 ging die erste elektrische Bahn Eléctricos de Lisboa auf Tour und ein Jahr später fuhren sie alle elektrisch. Eine Vielzahl wurde in später wieder eingestellt, aber einige gibt es weiterhin. Um den Praça do Comércio verkehren einige Linien, auch touristische. Ein klares Anzeichen davon ist hier aufgenommen.
Fragt jemand danach, die Drähte auszuklonen?

Hello Ulf,

I am sure the trams are very useful but all these wires can be an eyesore for photographers. Your image is very nice because is sharp and composed with good colours. I like the theme you chose to present here as is a real scene of the city. Nice details and point of view. Thanks Ulf.

I have never been anywhere that had this so I find it very interesting. It looks like a spiders web :) The architecture is very beautiful as well as the sky. TFS and have a great day!

Hello Ulf,
I rather like trams; unfortunately you have to accept the multitude of wires that go with them or spending ages cloning them all out ;-) Here they are part of the scene against a fine looking backdrop. Very good colours and sharpness. You could try cloning out the traffic lights :-)

Hallo Ulf,
Ein Bild mit einigen Grafiken und Sie hatte die einzigartige Idee offen zeigen, Kabel trnvía als wichtigen Teil in Ihrer Zusammensetzung zusammen mit der schönen Gebäude.
Ausgezeichnete Licht, Farbe und Definition.

yes, the trams of Lisbon are quite famous (also here on TE). So, it surprises me that you take on the subject in this way. Of course, no trams without the lines. Starts to look like a web... and no use cloning out all those lines. Very nice colours.

Hello Ulf,
Very impressive to see so many tram network wires in the city!
lovely captured with the including of the well lighted architecture and the awesome blue sky with cloud!
the image is sharp with good details
many thanks
Tony

Ich hätte vielleicht das Gebäude auf ein Mimimum reduziert um den Effekt des Kabelwirrwarrs zu erhöhen. Hättest dich auf die Straße legen sollen und von unten fotografieren :-)
Nun Spaß beiseite - schönes Foro mit guten Details und die Farben kommen gut heraus.
Viele Grüße,
Achim

Hello Ulf,

No tramcar without electrical cables..!
A wonderful summer sky with fluffy small clouds to work as background for this fascinating architecture...
Great colours and details, the view is well framed!

Hallo Ulf,
You found a very nice POV for this landmark of Lisboa. I like how you used the lines of the architecture and the electric cables(!) to produce a really nice image. The good and vivid colours and clarity also give a hand.
Um abraço, José.

Hallo Ulf!
Was wäre Lisboa insbesondere die Alfama ohne die gute alte Tram.
Normalerweise hasse ich die Drähte aber zu einem Lissabon Bild gehören sie einfach dazu.Guter Standort,Schärfe und Kontrast.Du hast ein schönes Detail der Stadt getroffen und die Taube gehört einfach auch dazu.
Gruß,Leo
Schade daß Du für Rothenburg keine Zeit hast.Vielleicht nächstes Jahr.Ich würde wirklich gerne ein meeting organisieren und bin für Vorschläge bezüglich location dankbar.

Hi Ulf,

great angle. Incredible details on the architectures and beautiful blue sky. Although most of the times the wires damage the composition, in here they work perfectly. I like this visual. Well done!
Regards,
Carlos

Hi Ulf,
What a great architecture! Composition is excellent, POV too. I like very strong contrast between gate and darkly blue sky. Perfect sharpness, very well framed.

Hallo Ulf,
ja! die Straßenbahndrähte ausklonen das wäre eine interessante Arbeit für jemand der Langeweile hat:)
Schön gesehen und fotografiert,gute Klarheit und tolle Belichtung,

Dimitris.

Hi Ulf,
What a shame they have those overhead wires for the cable/cars because they seem to spoil the view to these wonderful historic buildings. Maybe one day they will convert them to wireless :) But nevertheless, this is a wonderful POV and well well captured. Well done! tfs

Hi Ulf,
A goodway to present the tram system in Lisbon! And you show a nice monument too. Sharp and naturally colored, it is clear and noiseless. I think you did well to leave the wall on the left, so the wires end somewhere...

Hi Ulf,
unusual theme and nice presentation. Usually I don't like wires in photographies. Here's amazing glance up in Lisboa's street. Pleasant colours and well note. Good work.
Gr., Aleksander

Hello Ulf,
Excellent realistic image with its cobweb, which should not especially be removed, under penalty of denaturing the site. Very good and pleasant work. Cheer.
Have a nice day
Cordially

Hi Ulf,
Very impressive shot with spectacular composition. I like the ramose spectacle and the nice colours. The POV is effective, excellent city shot. Very well done! Have a nice day - Szép napot kívánok!

Hallo ulf!
Es gibt bestimmt "Kollegen", die dieses Netzwerk in den Wahnsinn treiben würde - aber - es ist dort, es gehört dazu...
Eine sehr interessante Aufnahme, die eine ungewöhnliche Verbindung herstellt. Well done, sagt man hier ,-)

Hi Ulf,
A fantastic sky with nice architectural details.
The wires look like nets , so I wonder where the spider is:P
I love trams with wires.
Congrats and best regards,
Zeynep

Ciao Ulf,
the tram is a means absolutely ecological and even if he has some bad cables that bridle the town. you have exploited them very well for this composition. perfect sharp and excellent colours
nice work

Bonsoir,
belle photo de ces jolis batiments avec ces noeud de cables pour les trams, bientôt ils vont refleurir chez nous.
Des année pour en enlever toute traces, beaucoups de discutions et de difficultés pour les enlever, surtout sur le pont de fragnée( longue histoire)
Vous avez bien pris cet endroit et ces fils de tram que pour ma part j' affectionne.


Amitiés Thomas

Hallo Ulf,
da meine Kritik vom Sytem schon dreimal zurückgewiesen wurde, bleiben wir bei der Feststellung: originelle Lösung.
Viele Grüße
Laszlo

Your style seems to like clear, strong lines, Ulf and fresh colour. Here the colour and contrast are fresh and clear.It is an interesting arrangement of elements , with the classical facade seemingly caught in a tangle of wires. regards kevin

hello Ulf,

congratulations
