Vintage travel poster from Coimbra in Portugal. Published in 1935.

This is a black-and-white image of the Rua Visconde da Luz, in Coimbra, on a warm September night. It was late in the season, so the throngs of tourists were thinning out, which made it all the more pleasant. The warm light of the street lighting, the casual way the people were strolling along the street, and the wonderful, geometric paving, to me, make this a delightful image. I hope you like it as well.

As you walk up into the old city of Coimbra, you pass under this wonderful arch. It's curious that structures that were built centuries ago, and yet remain, must, I suppose, still be useful. In this instance, the utility must be in its undeniable charm. I hope you enjoy the image as much as I do.

This image is of the medieval barbican gate to Coimbra. Through the gate are the old streets that wend their up through the old city. The evening was warm, and made to feel warmer because of the incandescent lighting. A thoroughly pleasant evening. I hope you also enjoy its warmth.

A city in Portugal.

This image is of the cloister within the old Coimbra Cathedral. I have to say that I like the cloisters of these wonderful old cathedrals in Europe. They are peaceful places; they seem to instill a sense of tranquility.
