HFF Porto Portugal 5th October 2010

HFF Porto Portugal 5th October 2010
The funicular railway down into the Douro River valley gave a great view of the Ponte Dom Luís 1 & the port warehouses in Vila Nova de Gaia on the south bank. From the images on Google Earth the line appears to be disused today.

The Ponte de Dom Luís I is a double-deck metal arch bridge that spans the River Douro between Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. Built in 1886, its 172 metres (564 ft) span was then the longest of its type in the world.

HFF to everyone. Have a great weekend.

A great view here Peter. Love the double bridge effect here. I nearly got to Porto once but our ship was diverted!

Very belated HFF. Herb
