Weekend in Porto

Cindy (my beautiful wife) and I had a weekend break in Porto, Portugal last weekend. The city really is a photographers paradise. Heres some of the shots I took, everywhere you turn there's something to photograph. This is a place I really want to go back to and explore some more.

This was the scene from the hotel balcony.



This from one of the high bridges that join the two halves of the city.



I just loved this house.



These are the barges that move the port wine down the river.



This guy made his living by selling balloon animals to the kids.



I'm really happy with this because this is just how the image came out of the camera.

Re: Weekend in Porto

Not been to Porto but having looked at your photos would love to. Lisban is also worth a visit, but not in a car, my OH and I walked into the city centre and beat an ambulance with the 2 & blues going. A bit worrying.
