Day of Red Bull Air Race (2007). You can see near the river around 600.000 people. The twin cities of Porto (on the left) and Vila Nova de Gaia, one of the oldest in Europe, were built on the banks of the Douro River, and are connected to each other through several bridges, one of which is the Dona Maria Pia Bridge, designed by Gustave Eiffel and built in 1877.

That looks like a pretty exciting event. Nice capture of the plane and its smoke trail against the busy but beautiful background of the city.

An eye full with an Eiffel. Definitely a most interesting image. I'm glad the plane pulled up before running into the bridge. Great capture.

Even without the plane it would be a good picture, but it makes it even more interesting. Great capture.
