I love everything about this, man it's gorgeous, that curve in the road and all that outstanding architecture, I feel like I've been thrown in a world that I would love, that I'd be a millionnaire and walk all along taking photos and buying stuff lol

This looks like a fascinating place-a great photo, nicely composed! LOve the old VW van coming up the road!

@Tracy: Thanks very much Tracy! Yes it is a truly wonderful place to visit. These old VW vans are still quite popular in Brasil. They have acquired a cute nickname because of their design. They call them "Jesus Calls Me" (Jesus me chama).... ;-)

bridget from Western WA, United States

awesome shot, Eric - i love the detail of the cobblestones and brick in the foreground and how it leads the eye all the way through the shot; beautifully exposed for maximum detail and mood

@bridget: Thank you very much Bridget! The cobblestones on this street date back to the 1500s ;-)
