The port, a photo from Lisboa, South

Photographer's Note

This town was a small fishing port throughout early history as it lies protected from nature’s elements at the mouth of the Rio Tejo. It was occupied by the Spanish under the Duke of Alba in 1579. In 1807, the French invaders commanded by General Junot used the Palбcio da Citadela as their suitable headquarters for his army. During the first part of the 19th Century the port trade declined bringing poverty to the town. When in 1870 the King, Luнs I, chose to convert the 17th Century building of the Citadela into his summer residence Cascais soon became a very fashionable town and aristocratic palaces and mansions followed. In 1926 the railway line from Lisbon to Cascais was the first to be electrified in Portugal and this also had a positive economic effect. During the 2nd World War several Kings and Heads of European countries sought refuge in Cascais and nearby Estoril. With these people came other aristocrats, politicians, actors and writers - so many that the population increased by over 20,000 people between 1939 to 1946. Names of important exiles such as Duke of Windsor, King Umberto of Italy, Princess Joana of Italy, King Carol II of Romania, Prince Juan of Spain, Count Henri of France, part of the Hapsburg family, Regent Horthy of Hungary, all can be associated with the history of both this town and that of neighbouring Estoril

Hello Daniel,
There is much to see in this in well realised composition. Clever cropping extracts the maximum impact form the various graphical elements.

Hello Daniel,
It's an interesting composition of various shapes and colours of the boats and huts. It's an original scenery from a port, not the usual view of boats floating at the quays. Very nice light and colours too.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Daniel,
I really like the narrow frame you used, into which you managed to squeeze a lot. The colours are very appealing from the bright blue of the beach huts to the orange and yellow of the kayaks. Very well done.

Hi Daniel
A hi-energy shot & myriad of colours, repetitive shapes and patterns all nicely laid out to vigourise the quay side, fully fitting the frame. Good observation and pleasing to look at the 'artwork' As usual your quality work is always admired. Congrats
Best regards

Hello Daniel,

A good downward pov with superb color, sharpness and saturation. I like the repetition of the sea kayaks and their bright colors. The blue and white vertical stripes contrast well with the horizontal lines. Tfs!

Bonjour Daniel,

Tu nous montre aujourd'hui la partie la moins photogйniques des petits ports . C'est un peu plus industriel mais tu as rйussi а faire exploser toutes les couleurs disponibles.

Amicalement
