    Fabulous shot and works well in black and white with all that detail.

  • Jose M.F. Rebelo replied

    Thanks, this photo is a slice of a very secretive part of Porto. Well worn houses with an exclusive look and feel to them. These houses have witness and are secret keepers of many lives of families through the good and bad times. Of course I had to make the photo in Black and white.
    Love your work.

    Good to know where this is – it could be anywhere in the entire world huh? great stillness and a sense of daily tasks to be done with the washing and life continuiing on whilst out on the street life seems paused in the beautifully filtered light. a great moment in time, captured perfectly.
