Porto is the 2nd bigger portuguese town.
Besides that, its not only a matter of numbers, population,area, etc...Porto is one of the portuguese towns you can fall in love very easily cause of its history, cause of people, cause of Douro river, cause of its arquitecture, cause of the magic we breed in the air, cause of almost everything...

Last weekend had the chance of going Porto again and re-discover it. One of the things i loved most was to be able to clim to "Clérigos" tower and have this amazing view over the Old part of the city. From here you can see why this city is so historic rich, with such amazing places to visit and why i love it so much...every corner has its special atmosphere, so great :)

I will try to show you more from this visit in the next posts :)

very nice image, the house top colours are magnificient here, good work indeed and keep it up

UMA MARAVILHA!!!!!!!!!fOI TIRADA DE CIMA DA TORRE DOS CLÉRIGOS?E QUALQUER PESSOA PODE LÁ IR?ESTOU ENCANTADO COM ISTO

And don't forget the Port wine! Your angle and exposure are excellent here. I seen quite a few images of Portugal recently, but this is the best in the genre of city scape I've seen in a long time. The water is balanced by the river. The building walls, by the red roofs.

Superbe vue de cette ville d'où je reviens toujours aussi émerveillée et émue par sa beauté. Bravo !

Very nice panoramic view and very good composition with the river in the background. Well done!
My brother studied during 3 month in Porto (Erasmus exchange)

Uma bela panorâmica de uma não menos bela cidade.
Pena é as obras na ponte D. Luís e da Sé, levarem tanto tempo a finalizar.
Quero ver as próximas.
Parabéns.

I would agree with Marius, on every point. La vue de la ville est fantastic

Très jolie vue d'ensemble pour une bien belle ville , très belle photo Marco.

Ei amigo ! Vc anda muito sumido daqui, uma foto por mês é pouco ! :)
Belíssima foto panoramica da cidade do Porto, gosto muito desa imensidão de telhados e o rio ao fundo.
Muito bem realizada.
Parabéns

Marco, it is a good aerial shot!

Nice view of Porto. Looks like Lisbon from the observatory. But Lisbon is more colorful, right?

Anyway, good pic.

A panoramic sight which by multiplying the roofs gives a graphic aspect very interesting. The colors under this light is bright and reinforces the coloured rates/rhythms.

Very sharp and colorful panorama very good stiched.

Excelente junção de imagens! Muito bem feita. A visão é igualmente muito interessante e com imensos detalhes para visualizar. Gostaria apenas de um pouco menos de saturação nos vermelhos.

This is an amazing masterpiece! Porto looks beautiful and it somehow has a medieval feel. The stitching is very well executed.

Very colorful and detailed panorama of Porto, Marco. The red roofs and the setting by the river are very delightful, and the large version, despite some very minor stitching problems, offers a lot of detail that keeps the viewer engaged for quite a while. Very good!

You bring back memories here, Marco! I was here in 1981 and now remember all kinds of details of this beautiful city. I like this pano - such sharpness, colours and scope. Very fine job!

Lindíssima panoramica da minha cidade. Adorei!

Fine panorama of that great old city Porto - I seen a lot of shots here on TE -and its good to watch the whole thing from above - thanks for sharing Marco.

such an amazing town. This panorama really makes me want to stand up on that tower! excellent stitching. Well done

Eu sou do Porto e adoro esta cidade. A verdade é que nunca subi à torre dos Clérigos. Adorei poder apreciar, pela foto, a bela panorâmica da cidade. Excelente trabalho!
Adorei ler as notas e ver que alguém que não é de cá fala assim do Porto. Thanks!!!
