Lisbon is a beautiful broken-down-palace of a city. It feels like Gabriel Garcia Marquez' fictional town Macondo from "One Hundred Years of Solitude". Filled with old ghosts and secrets.
I like the composition of both pictures,and how they relate to the other: the top one makes me think how "closed" we may be and the bottom one, that we could be "hard" minded as a rock.

These photos complement one another. It looks as if that door could open onto that road, yet they are a world apart. Kudos to you both!
ReplyDeletei really like the top one, what was behind the locked door??
ReplyDeleteI like the texture in Stacey's shot. There are some things that Black & White does way better. This is one of them! Nice work.
ReplyDeleteI think it's the door to a secret garden...maybe in San Miguel if I didn't know it was Portugal.
