Hi dear TE friends
Place : Lisboa,(downtown)
Region: Municipality- Lisboa / Parish- (downtown)
Theme: The Funicular II
To see: map view and Group themes: Tram, funiculars and lift of Lisbon /my favorite theme of Lisbon :)
You can find Lavra's lift in Lisbon - Calçada do Lavra.
It's the oldest lift in Lisbon - 124 years.
This one links Rua Camara pestana and Largo da Anunciada in a 188 meters rail with 22.9% tilt avarage.
Lavra's lift was built by a portuguese engineer - Raoul Mesnier du Ponsard in 1884. Raoul has also built Gloria's, Bica's and santa Justa's lifts.
The company "Iron railways of Lisbon" is the owner of lavra's lift. This ancient beauty piece is classified as a national monument since 2002.
Lavra's Funicular - history
*The weather wasn't as good as I desired. The light of the day didn't help at all for taking photos.
I hope you like it, a big hug to all of you TE friends

Tinhas que ir tirar uma foto ao Elevado do Lavra mas, do lado oposto à minha!!! Estou a brincar.
A tua foto está excelente e dá uma ideia perfeita do desnível da Calçada do Lavra. Eu já a desci a pé, depois de ter usado o elevador para a subir!!!

hi Filipe
Great to see such a steep tram and the tracks in betweent the narrow strip of land. The last time I took a tram was in San Francisco up and down streets but not as narrow as this.
How would the people living next to the tracks take the noise? Your vertical composition is perfect for this capture here.

Amazing, very spectacular photo of architecture, transportation and daily life scene! Perfect vertical framing, great composition and fantastic perspective, excellent depth of field and fantastic capture of Lisboa's "trademark" trying to "penetrate through the high walls!

Olá Filipe.
como já deves ter notado adoro estas calcadas de Lisboa, especialmete as "menos conhecidas" se é que se pode aplicar o termo aqui.
Esta perspectiva é excelente dando-nos uma boa ideia da trabalheira que é andar nesta calçada mesmo a descer, quase que é preciso um travão de montanha tal o desnivel.
A vista das casas que ladeiam a rua e do elevador que aparece ao fundo criam aqui uma bela foto.
Um abraço.

Bom dia Filipe, mas a luz está muito boa aqui. Percebo o que dizes, mas desde que não se apanhe céu até se pode obter melhor resultados do que se tivesse sol forte a bater nestas paredes. A perspectiva está muito bem enquadrada e quase faz vertigens - 22,9% é incrível. O edifício azul lá em cima é um excelente detalhe - no fundo está a fazer a vez do céu ;-) Boa apresentação de imagens complementares em WS - os dois elevadores em WS1 ficou engraçada mas esta é sem dúvida a melhor.
um abraço,

Olá Filipe,
Olha que ninguém diria que o tempo estava mau para fotos, pois uma das coisas que fascina ao olhar para ela é a luminosidade, pois embora se perceba que o tempo estava encoberto, as cores e a nitidez estão magníficas. O PdV é fabuloso, e aquele prédio azul ao fundo fica a matar.
Um abraço, José.

Olá Filipe,
just right, the trams are great for the eye and also for photographs :-) But one day in Lisbon is not enough or too less to capture only the trams. You do (not only) add a lot of them, like this one with good depth and height impression by the view down the narrow lane of the tram. Well chosen vertical.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Impressionante este desnível, mostrado aqui com maestria. Uma imagem muitíssimo interessante, com nitidez e profundidade impecáveis. Os WS são também muito bons, naquele em que vemos dois elevadores, chamou minha atenção os degraus na calçada (não os tinha percebido antes de ver o WS), a testemunharem quão íngreme é esta rua.
Obrigada por partilhar,

Hello Filipe.
A tight composition, free of lens distortion and composed so the tram is in a pleasing spot. The picture has a strong perspective effect and is well lit in spite of the grey day. Sometimes that kind of light can be good for photos. I presume you had to get off the tracks before the tram arrived! Anyway, nicely done, very craftsmanlike and a great success.
Regards,
Andrew

the bottom half is very bland in colour, so the blue at the top half is such a visual delight and contrast.
wonderfully taken

Hello Filipe,
I like Portugal, Lisbon and such attractions as this funicular. This is a great composition, perspective, harmony of colors. I watched some more of your new photos.
I have one bit of advice about your other work: many of them dark, it is desirable to adjust them in Photoshop or any other graphic program.
We must strive for perfect in photography.
With best regars,
