Portugal was far away country for me when I was in Japan, now much closer since I immigrated to CANADA.
So I visited there and like the country very much, will visit again, again... anyway the first two shots were
Contax G1 + Planar 45/2 + Fuji Velvia and the first one from the inside of a tourist bus.




The next two were shot by CZ Biogon 25/2.8 M-mount with Fuji Reala. The church where Vasco da Gama is
varied (only coffin though) and Lisbon Bay with da Gama bridge in far.




Portugal and Japan have a long relationship, Gun was brought to one of southern island of japan by portuguese 1543
soon after Gama went to the orient, after Francisco de Xavier came to Japan 1549 to introduce Christianity.
Whatever history says, Portugal is world number one (Numero Uno) for pastries and colourful country, their syche
fits to japanese people I guess.

Spectacular. Portugal is near top of my list of "need to visit" countries, and for sure I too will have the Contax G with me when I go there.

nice, real film sensation
#1 is impressive, such explosion of colors from the Velvia!

Lisboa is such a nice place to go.....imagine I was there without a camera! That was in those times before the bite of the photo-bug.
