hi mix 106,
i love portugal. I stayed there 1,5 year ago for 2,5 months. I travelled
from lisboa to porto, coimbra, sintra, obidos, lagos and sevilha, cadiz and jerez in spain. I would love to visit again. Bairro Alto, Sintra and Bucaco were the best.
And of course scenery by the atlantic, I joined 2-day trailride in the south.

oh my god!!! I am surprised!!! Amazing photos! Are you a professional photographer? If you aren´t... you can be a pro if want to!

When you visited Portugal what did you like the most?



P.S.: I went to Cadiz last summer! I stayed in Bahia Sur Hotel!

a few more:







I would like to own quinta like this:


and i would decorate my bathroom with old azulejos:


and i would have portuguese or spanish horses in my yard :


Thanks mix, I`m not a pro photographer but it`s part of my job which is graphic design.

i visited portugal april and may 2004 and liked nature and portuguese old architecture the most. It´s sad that beautiful buildings for instance in Lisbon are in so bad condition. i hope they`ll restore them before it`s too late. And I also liked portuguese people, you are a little bit like us here in northern europe .

Thank you!
Another set of amazing photos! Congratulations!!!
And i am afraid that our beautiful and old buildings will not be recovered soon!
Because our country doesnt have much money to spend in those things. We are much more concerned about building other kind of stuff. I think that is not right.

(off-topic)I think we have more stuff in common...LOL
I wanna be a graphic designer and i am studying very hard to be one but i dont have any ideia what kind of computer programs you graphic designers use. Can you help me please? And what kind of stuff you do with that programs?!

Bye [[[]]****

Funny to discuss about portugal in new york-forum

answer to your OT question:
photoshop - for photograph editing and stuff, web-graphics
freehand -for vectorgraphics and for exsample designing bookcovers, brochures
indesign -book, brochure layouts etc
pagemaker -book, brochure layouts etc
illustrator -vector graphics

if you want to know more, or discuss about portugal and so on, it would be better if we continue with email sanna_hyvarinen@yahoo.com ,and not a whole world would see it

BEAUTIFUL PICTURES!

I had been considering a trip to Lisbon (and any day trips from there) for a while. Then, we got George W. Bush in office making Americans in general look like morons.

Can you tell me how the country views Americans? Would we be treated well? And, (this is such an American question) will I be able to get by speaking only English?
