EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Rafael Marchante captures the essence of Lisbon's Alfama neighborhood on a serene day in March 2013. The focal point of the image is a charming tram, gracefully navigating through the narrow streets lined with colorful buildings. As it glides along, the tram becomes an integral part of this historic district's vibrant tapestry. Alfama, known for its labyrinthine alleys and traditional Fado music, exudes an old-world charm that transports you back in time. In this snapshot, we witness a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity as the vintage tram seamlessly coexists with contemporary elements scattered throughout. The composition showcases Marchante's keen eye for detail - from the intricate cobblestone pavement to the laundry hanging out to dry on wrought-iron balconies above. Each element adds depth and character to this picturesque scene. As sunlight filters through wisps of clouds overhead, casting gentle shadows on facades adorned with azulejo tiles, one can almost feel themselves being transported into another era. This photograph encapsulates Lisbon's unique allure - a city where history intertwines effortlessly with everyday life. Marchante skillfully captures not just a moment frozen in time but also evokes emotions associated with exploring unfamiliar streets and discovering hidden gems around every corner. It serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling cities like Lisbon, there are pockets where tranquility reigns supreme – places where trams become more than mere modes of transport; they become symbols of heritage and nostalgia.
