Stairway in Porto

Here is one of the many, many pictures I took during my short visit to Portugal. I love the old buildings and alleys of Porto in the old area near the river. I saw stairways that serve as streets (or alleys), like the ones I had seen in Lisbon's Alfama area during one of my earlier visits to Portugal. As we walked around Porto, I noticed the red door and the ochre wall, so I took a picture. Tonight I edited the original version in Painter, using some cut-and-paste and digital airbrush to eliminate some distractions. Then I did a final crop in iPhoto and here it is, a little glimpse of Porto.
