Staircase in the Alfama, Lisbon


Staircase in the Alfama, Lisbon

Time for another picture from Portugal. On a trip to Portugal in July of 2001, Mauro showed me around Lisbon. I wanted to see the Alfama, an old section of Lisbon that is built on steep hills with stairs instead of streets. I took a lot of pictures there, and have used some of them as the basis for some watercolors. Tonight I cropped this photo and adjusted the brightness to capture the shadows and bright sunlight of the Alfama.
