"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
G'day Ray,
This is an interesting streetscape. I'm guessing something about these two little abodes felt *quintessentially* Portuguese to you and I can see why. I've not been there yet but I suspect your photo captures the strong light, not just the colours of the building. The car and antennae is a bit of a drag but what can you do? What I really liked was how much difference in character/personality I found between the owners of the two little abodes, just from looking at the front of their homes. :) A nice capture.
Mikel.
