Just back from a short trip to the city of Porto in Portugal and will be doing
a small gallery dedicated to it, but for now, I'm just giving this one a little
bit of vintage treatment to enhance the slightly faded glory of this wonderful city.

This is a view of the River Douro from the steep streets of the Ribeira district.

Like other commenters, the warm rich colors and fine textures immediately reminded me of the brush strokes of the old masters.

I don’t know why, but it reminds me of a Flemish painting, what could I add which was not written yet as a comment?
I think a silence full of admiration is all what I can give to this photo as deserved tribute.

It looks great ...... the vintage treatment suits it very well. The composition is also nice from the top looking down. Very well done.
