Portugal Day 3 - about Lisboa
2007.08.07
There's just something about arches and great cities. The Arco da Victoria stood majestically over the Praça do Comércio, built to commemorate the rebuilding of the city after the 1755 earthquake.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who can't afford both a flash car and a big mortgage.

Nancy had to work so I was left to explore Lisbon on my own. It was a hot day and I was mad enough to think I could walk from Baixa to Belem... and thats after climbing up to the Castelo de Sao Jorge.
You know, TheBigHush, you should really post more often. Your compositions are lovely. The blue sky in these is breathtaking, and I really love the color treatment in the statue of King João I at the Praça da Figueira. Your comment on the "flash car" is priceless. Keep them coming!
