Since opening in 1998, Vasco da Gama Bridge in the Parque das Nacoes area of Lisbon has taken passengers across the Tagus River. Named after the famous Portuguese explorer, this cable-stayed bridge, at a massive 17km end to end, is the longest bridge entirely within Europe. It is so long that the curvature of the earth had to be taken into account during design and contruction of the bridge. I hand blended a little texture with my original black and white photograph of this classic architectural scene.

I'm a travel photographer and photo artist. I like to explore every nook and cranny of anywhere I visit and I'm always looking out for something unusual or unique, weird and wonderful, interesting and intriguing. For me, half the challenge is in the initial taking of the photo, the looking for something that catches my attention, getting that perfect composition, but the other half is in the processing, the tweaking and twisting and the addition of a little imagination to see how much detail I can bring to the surface and hopefully let the viewer see the same as I did when I took the shot. My images have been shot here, there and everywhere, mainly in the historic cities of Europe and with the occasional one taken in my own surroundings...
