Porto
Uploaded: December 09, 2010
I took it yesterday, cropped & adjusted curves.
I'm tired: I had to arrive on Wednesday evening, but Frankfurt Airport was closed, so we landed in Munich. As the airline could not find us hotel rooms, I had to spend the night on a restaurant table... not very soft! I finally managed to get to Porto by yesterday noon through Madrid. Still, I managed to take about 400 photos in 3 hours. After that, I had to go to the conference.

Got to get there some time. Beautiful cityscape.frank w. degenhardt December 10, 2010
My daughter used to travel alot for her business and while it seems glamorous to us, you show that there is alot of times when it just is no fun. I am so glad that at least you got some time to do some of this gorgeous photo shoots and I think if this is any kind of indication we are going to be in for a treat. Gorgeous way you follow the city coastline. The colors and the designs of the buildings is so beautiful and I just love that layered look as you go from the coast line up the hill. Incredible work of art my friend. #9090775Tiia Vissak December 10, 2010
