Upper Douro River lock. Queen Isabel in transit.

Northern Portugal is a tourist dream. Incredible scenery, friendly people, and saturated 4G coverage.

Looks a pretty tight squeeze.

I like the shot, the only complaint I'd have is the two rails(?) in the lower corners.

 

Very tight squeeze, only about 8 inches on either side.

I couldn't help about the security screen getting in the shot in the bottom corners.

This is actually a very large ship and huge lock you can see a couple of people on the deck. It was a rise of about 30m.

 

hilariously tight squeeze.. great shot.. good perspective..like has been said, pity about the railing but not much to be done.

 

I actually like the rails, gives the photo perspective.

Great shot.

 

Cheers.

I will be posting in the Gallery again as I am back home from this trip.

It is hard work trying to take pictures like this with two kids who are bored with me shoving cameras everywhere!

A phone camera might have done a better job except for how dark it was down there!

 

Agree 100% with Droppy.

 

Great shot. Like the rails for the added depth.

What's the background story? Is this a lock or a dry dock of sorts?

Edit: memo to Scootre: read the subject line.

 

I dont know why, but I seem to love photos of this nature, something about industrial environments that makes me feel like an urban explorer of sorts...

 

Scary drop but that's a great angle of it. Nice.
