I take a lot of photos on vacation, as you can imagine, too many in some cases. Naturally not all of them make it to my main destination posts.
These are basically the leftovers from our Porto Portugal trip that didn't make the cut. Some are similar to others that I posted, just from a slightly different angle or from an alternate camera lens (I often take the same photo from at least two different lenses - wide and normal). I've been trying to refrain from posting a photo and then another one zoomed in a little.
Anyway, I'm going to keep the commentary to a minimum since I've already done a main post on this location and leave this one as a photo dump of sorts.
That way you can just scroll through if you're interested in seeing more from the location without being bogged down with verbage.
Lets begin.
These shots came from different parts of the city at different times of day.
Luis I Bridge was sort of a focal point of the city.
It was in view from many parts of the old town.
Seeing it from different angles from different nooks and crannies and neighborhoods was pretty neat actually.
I generally like banks of row houses. Building styles and designs always add a lot of character to any place you visit.
The building facades in Porto were especially colorful, lively and full of character.
Blue Azulejose [above]
Same building- different angle. It's a theme really.
More Azulejos (below). And look at that green. So bright. Neon almost.
The Clerigos church tower could be seen from many parts of the city as well and it appears in a few cityscapes above.
Here are a few shots of it a little closer up.
These two are almost the same. I likely took one photo and then took 10 steps forward and took another. That's pretty normal for me.
This is one of the nicest looking Macdonalds I've ever seen, aside from one I saw in Freiburg Germany a year back.
A random church. There's so many of them in the city.
Monastery of Serra do Pilar from across the river (above).
Porto Cathedral in the distance.
Market building with lawn. This reminded me of a college campus with students sitting out in the grass. You almost wouldn't think that this spot was in the heart of a major city.
Old city wall.
I really liked this steep staircase.
And lastly, a park we walked through near the church tower.
