The idea came up after visiting several “DailyPhoto” sites, particularly the one from Paris, which is my other favorite city. Since LisbonDailyPhoto was getting posts very irregularly, I decided to create this place. Although my skills and my Exilim Z110 are very limited, I hope to deserve your visit. Please leave your comments (any comments) so I can improve.
Alfama was settled by the Romans and Visigoths. The Moors gave it the atmosphere and the name. In a reference to the hot springs found in the area, the name Alfama comes from alhama which means "hot baths" in Arab.

Hi Carlos,
Lisbon seems to be a city of hills; Or is it a varied terrain to the city?
Love this one Carlos!
That yellow trolley is too sweet winding its way thru that beautiful little street!
Makes me smile! In a way...looks like San Francisco again!
=)
PS! OH, do the hot baths still exist? Such a nice way to unwind after a crazy DP blog posting day! CA has LOTS of spas and quite a few natural hot springs too, LOL! ;)
Paul and Ame,
Like San Francisco, Lisbon is indeed a city of hills. It's known as City of the 7 hills. There are several similarities between Lx and SF: the hills, the bridge, the trams and the tectonic fault. Besides, we have a civil parish called São Francisco Xavier.
Carlos and Ame,
Providence also has 7 hills! But our trolleys are on wheels - the old ones have been retired.
No spas (except the kind that get raided by the vice squad :)
Our spas moved to the south, to Algarve, so hot baths... only in the tub. LOL!
Good Job indeed its a beutifull photo, but i think (and i know) you can do better ( a little bil grain). Still missing, from Lisbon and for me, the main "flag" of this town, the Tagus river and all his caracters.

Boa foto, embora eu tenha algumas sugestões a fazer, não leves a mal: em termos de composição da imagem, podias ter adoptado uma postura mais agressiva, ou seja, colocares a máquina mais abaixo, ou aproveitares a grande angular para apanhar o eléctrrico quase de frente...bastante perto. Ou então, mantendo-te a esta distância, o que talvez fosse melhor era mesmo apanhar mais chão, (do tipo este eléctrico vem a subir por este caminho..).
Mas claro que à posteriori é sempre amis fácil falar e as condições do disparo nem sempre são as ideais. Além disso, nós não somos máquinas e, portanto, as considerações que eu fioz são tendencialmente verdade para mim, mas podem não ser para ti (só nos resta examinar a consciência e sabermos se o disparo foi um erro, se foi o possível segundo as circunstâncias ou foi mesmo querido assim porque é assim que gostamos dele...).
Mas, considerações filosóficas à parte, gosto muuito do conceito do teu blog, de explorar lisboa, e mostrá-la. A final, se todos fotografassem objectozinhos como eu, de que seriam feitos os monumentos e paisagens nacionais... :P
Grande abraço.
