EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the picturesque charm of Aveiro, a city located in central Portugal. The image captures a serene moment on one of Aveiro's enchanting canals, where traditional boats gracefully stand still. Taken on July 26,2003, this snapshot transports viewers to a place reminiscent of Venice with its narrow streets and intricate network of waterways. Aveiro's rich maritime history is evident in this photograph. The city served as an important deep seaport between Oporto and Coimbra since the sixteenth century when it was established after enduring heavy storms. Over time, Aveiro earned the nickname "Portuguese Venice" due to its resemblance to the famous Italian city. The composition beautifully portrays the tranquility that permeates through Aveiro's canals. The reflection of colorful buildings and charming bridges adds depth and vibrancy to the scene. This image encapsulates both tradition and modernity as it showcases these timeless boats against a backdrop of contemporary architecture. Photographer Jose Manuel Ribeiro skillfully captures this mesmerizing moment in time, allowing us to appreciate the unique beauty found within Aveiro's waterways. With no rights clearances or permissions required for this image, we are fortunate enough to enjoy Ribeiro's artistry without any restrictions or limitations.
