Description
The Douro River winds through the Northern Portuguese city of Porto, nestled between the hilly wine cellar covered municipality of Vila Nova de Gaia and the festival of colour that is old Porto. The vibrant Ribeira district and beyond lies on the right of the image, where splashes of sienna ,azure, terracotta, champagne pink and vivid yellow overlap each other haphazardly and fill the landscape like an artists often used palette. The aging architecture reflects the tones of its surroundings. 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 to compliment this old world Porto scene.
