Rua do Carmo is one of the busiest thoroughfares of the Baixa Chiado district of Lisbon, Portugal. High above, the walkway of the Elevador de Santa Justa, a wonderful historic elevator (over 100 years old) which connects the lower level Baixa District with the much higher Carmo Square, making one of those Lisbon hills a little easier. I blended textures with my original photograph to compliment the old world feel of this Lisbon street 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...
