Olá Celso,
Algumas zonas da velha Lisboa também estão assim.Alguns estão a ser recuperados,mas à muitos por recuperar só que o governo deu prioridade aos estádios de futebol para o Euro 2004.Agora à novas eleições para a camâra de Lisboa e eles prometem que vão recuperar a Lisboa antiga.Eu acho que não passam de promessas mas...vamos aguardar para vêr.:)

Nice bird view. You seem to like large sceneries, urban or natural.
This one is very interesting. We can observe Rio's architecture : is it ArtDeco? I'm not a specialist...

Hello Celso!
It may be an old and decaying area but I like it more than some ugly modern architectural solution one can often see in big cities.
This one is like almost like a poem - needs no explanation.
What is to be appreciated here is preserved peoples' closeness and sense of cummunity - not like in block of flats where one never sees their first neighbour living door-to-door!
Have a nice weekend,
Robi

Hi Celso,
Nice view full of real life. I like those balconies in back yeards and different kinds of roofs. As Robi has said -- there is a piece of poetry in this shot. Very well done.

Thanks,
Marek

Bom dia Celso, It is amazing how cities look like a maze in these roof views. The exposure is quite good although it was not easy with that large white facade in the foreground. I like all the tiny details present in this view.

I have to say that I really like this shot. And wow these buildings are really close together. This is not allowed in our country. We have lots of room in your cities. I also love the red clay tile roofing. It seems you could almost jump from roof to roof and travel a long distance. Great use of light too. And finally nice and sharp. Great stuff.
