    Ponte Luis 1

    The Ponte Luis 1 is probably the best known of the bridges that span the river gorge in Porto, Portugal. I noticed the viewpoint whilst enjoying a beer in the Café overlooking the river, located at the bottom of one of its piers.

    I like the angle, John. Big powerful diagonals showing the strength of the structure. Nice work.

    Somehow enjoying a beer at a cafe in Porto seems counter-intuitive, but the results are certainly worth it. Good strong image that is well processed, although given the angles and diagonals, I might have concluded this was the result of imbibing Porto's famous fortified wines...

    Thanks Manfred. Strangely, I rarely drink beer at home, preferring a glass or two of Malbec …. or anything else on offer. But in the heat of the mid day sun abroad I occasionally enjoy a beer - but I would never allow it to interfere with my photography.
