Eléctrico 28
This is one of the remaining Lisbon Trams. They used to be all over the city. Now there are only 5 routes and about 50 trams left. Route 28 is probably the most popular since it crosses the quarters of Bairro Alto and Lisbon's oldest Alfama. This picture was taken in the Largo Portas do Sol in the unique atmosphere of Alfama.
The little cow on the left managed to escape the parade.

Bem vindo, Carlos!
You've started & we didn't know!
Now there is some new concurrência in the effort to put Lisboa on the map!
We are all going to have to check each other out, para segurar que não haja repetições, não achas?
Boas percursos e viva as fotos lisboeticas!!
Ps - Exilim?! Até mais uma coincidência, eu há 15 meses ando com uma pequena caixa mágica que se chama Exilim Z50. Consegue tirar e reslover quase tudo, graças ao software. Mas concordo,tem limites.
PPS -suponho que qualquer dia, vamos todos cruzarnos no mesmo lugar: tu, Portelini, TechNix, Joaõ Peq e eu!!! (LOL!)
Nowhere man, thank you for your comments (the very firsts). That's a good idea. I saw Portelini's comments in LisbonDP but haven't checked his site. I don't know TechNix and Joao but I'll search, so I can add links. And I really like your phrase: Vivam as fotos lisboeticas
I bought the Exilim cause it is very compact, uses standard rechargeable batteries (when I go out I always keep spares with me) and for <200Eur seems pretty good.
Aínda não sei o que me repugna mais. Se a falsa modéstia, se a banalidade da foto ou (e acho que isto é realmente o pior) essa dôr de cotovelo por alguém se ter lembrado de fazer um LxDP antes de ti e de teres feito muito para que Sisifo e companheiros tenham perdido a paciência e a vontade...
Passarei por cá, semanalmente, para criticar ou me emendar se fôr caso disso...
Bem vindo anónimo. Há aí alguma contradição pois a banalidade da foto se calhar mostra que a modéstia não é falsa. E podes ter a certeza que, como já lhe disse, se soubesse que o Sisifo ia desistir por causa do meu comentário não o teria feito, como não desistirei só pelo facto de aqui vires "bater" semanalmente. Não há qualquer dôr de cotovelo mas reconheço que provavelmente deveria ter escolhido outro nome até porque não quero colocar apenas fotos de Lisboa nem semanalmente. Um abraço e volta sempre.
When we stayed a week at Hotel Americano in April 1999, celebrating Portugal's 25 years of democracy, we rode all the trams as well as the passenger ferry across the river. I remember one small tram on a very steep hill up to an art school near an arboretum where we escaped the heat with our peach sodas. At night we sometimes saw Inca musicians playing in the restauradura I think it was called. But the big night in the plaza with red carnations and folkdancers was unforgettable. Portuguese were the most courteous people we met in traveling all Europe.
Carlos, great start! I remember trams like this from when I was a baby in Boston - long gone, now! I don't speak portuguese but I get the gist of the nasty comment above - geez, you Portuguese are quite passionate about your photos! Anyway, keep on snapping and we'll keep on visiting and cheering you on.
This is the kind of comment is would be unnecessary, anónimo: I hope you won't come back with such comments. This blogosphere stuff is a way of have some pleasure with the other bloggers and visitors, not self masturbation. So if someone shows a photo with a single comment is hard to say it is, as you said, of falsa modéstia. It makes me sick about using such way to criticize without reason at all!
Ah, e só mais uma coisa: este anónimo, põe-me furioso com este tipo de crítica, sem qualquer carácter construtivo. Se foi demasiada ofensiva a linguagem e se não quiseres ver publicada nos teus commments, mil ddesculpas.
Sobre a foto: excelente: grande momento de luz...aposto que foi de manhã, entre as 8 e as 10h30...

Hello Carlos,
Congratulations! Great to see your page, I just started looking at it.
I'll try to link to it - if I can remember how :)
Very good luck to you.
Paul
Ah, the trams! The first one I had ever been on was that of one in Lisbon! I have such fond memories of traveling from the USA to Portugal. Alfama...I think I had lunch there under someones laundry! LOL But that experience, for me, is one of a kind.
Thank you for your blog! I will be back!
