The interesting thing about these cranes, is that you can find one in almost any train station. I know there is one in Famalicão (about 20 kilometers from that one), and I took a picture of one in Portalegre (so, about 350 kilometers from that one). Unfortunately my picture is not half as beautiful as yours. You can see it here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ambs/97175254/ (as well as other non-artistic photos I took).
im glad u took this pic on a cloudy day... it brings out the old fashionedness of the crane and the building behind it, but then the modern buildings remind u that ur still in '07
The train and the building have seen better days; the people retired and live in the high-rise adjacent to the area. Looks like my town. Hopefully the crime isn't as bad.
A black and white shot might have more impact...but that's OK.
