I had the rare opportunity to check out a new-to-me high-rise view in Vila Nova de Gaia, and in characteristic fashion I responded with an enthusiastic YES and brought along the camera. (Five of the pictures were shot from the high-rise, four were shot from the Gaia side of the Lúis I Bridge.)
Since anywhere around the Douro River is a pretty common view, I decided to dial up the editing on these urban landscape pictures. Friday was another beautiful autumn day, and I was outside enough to arrive home more than a little pink in the face. Not bad, October!
