The historic Ribeira district of the Northern Portuguese city of Porto is a festival of colour. Splashes of sienna ,azure, terracotta, champagne pink and vivid yellow overlap each other haphazardly and fill the landscape like an artists unwashed palette. The aging architecture reflects the tones of its surroundings, the Douro river and electric blue sky. The buildings appear to jostle for space but fit together jigsaw like, each piece complimenting the next perfectly and creating this beautiful vista on the hill. I hand blended a little texture with my original photograph in vintage sepia, to compliment the old world feel of this classic Porto city 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...
