Eye for An Eye in Porto, Portugal - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

While exploring Porto, Portugal, I noticed there were eyes everywhere and I had being watched for who-knows-however-long. You know me, I’m no sitting duck type of person. I thought I’d give them eyes back. Being a visual creator, my best weapon would be just that - my eyes (not necessarily my vision though counting my glasses 🤓 ).

Anyways, I had to not be caught. It helps when people are looking up:

Or, when their hands are heavy with the flowers for the lovely lady at home:

As time went by, it got really easy. I started thinking that I can do this professionally. 😁

By the time I arrived at the Sao Bento train station, I’ve lost myself and wouldn’t blame this gentleman for being too excited. In a place that’s covered with such beautiful azulejo, I got a little hot-headed and couldn’t quite hold myself or my lips together.

You Are Being Watched in Porto, Portugal - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

When I travel, I skip the obvious. It’s given that Porto is well-known for its vinho do Porto. But like people, I believe a city (any city) has many layers that are waiting for the inquisitive to explore and find out.

On a leisure stroll towards Ponte de Dom Luis I, I realize there are eyes everywhere.

It makes my walk-around so much more fun. I mean, these people don’t even know they are being under the watchful eyes.

I felt obligated to tell them to be more cognizant. They need to follow how I am always scanning my surroundings…. until my eyes met another pair, watching ME through a “peek hole”.

Now, what do I do?

Seeing Porto, Portugal through Porto - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

Porto in Portugal is a port that exports, among other things, its world famous wine named after the city, i.e., Porto. 

Ha, you know I don't usually talk this way.  But I did it. :-)

This one afternoon when we got onto Ponte de Dom Luis I, it's as if everything has gotten a tint of Porto, the wine, with a taint of its dreamy sweetness to it.

Oh, by the way, this just reminds me that one friend once said my other image makes her feel as if she's seeing through the bottom of a wine bottle.

Bottle or wine, it's the magic of the wine countries.
