Portugal I — Alfama Stairs

A stone stairway in Alfama on an ordinary afternoon — café tables set out at the bottom, a few people sitting halfway up in the sun, and washed-out walls closing in on both sides.

It works because nobody is performing. The stairs do the composition and the afternoon light does the rest.

Location: Alfama, Lisbon, Portugal
Orientation: Horizontal (3:2)

Made to order. Choose an unframed lustre photo print — shipped rolled in a protective tube — a framed lustre print in black, white or natural wood, ready to hang with acrylic glazing and hanging hardware included, or a stretched canvas, gallery-wrapped over a 19 mm wooden stretcher bar and ready to hang straight from the box.
