🌿A Day in Lisbon — One Hour at Praça do Comércio
A Day in Lisbon — One Hour at Praça do Comércio
For one brief hour, Lisbon opens itself wide.
Praça do Comércio is not just a square; it is an open stage — where the city meets the river, where history breathes in open space, and where time slows enough to be noticed.
Photo 1 — The World of the City Begins Here
Here, vastness reigns.
This is where Lisbon announces itself — open, luminous, and unafraid of scale.
Photo 2 — A Glorious Sky for a Timeless View
Above the square, the sky feels endless.
Light and clouds turn the moment into something eternal.
Photo 3 — Architecture, History, Moments Preserved
Stones, arches, and façades hold memory.
Every line carries a past that refuses to fade.
Photo 4 — Enclosed by Time
Within these walls, time tightens its grip.
The present moves quietly between centuries.
Photo 5 — Everything Orbits the Perigee of My Influence
At the center of this space, perception bends.
Movement, sound, and attention revolve inward.
Photo 6 — The Gods Observe the Routine of Days
Statues stand as silent witnesses.
Above us, they watch life repeat itself — calmly, endlessly.

Upvoted! Thank you for supporting witness @jswit.
Thanks for stopping by :) I really appreciate the support :) Cheers :)
A super entry. It's great to see the city through the eyes of a photographer.
I wonder how many you have and how hard it was to select these 6.
♥️🍀
Thank you for the kindness and support. To be honest, on that day I didn’t have many photos to choose from, as I was on a business trip with a young team colleague who didn’t know Lisbon very well. So I took advantage of a bit of free time to show him one of the city’s most iconic squares. When I was younger, I worked in Lisbon for four years… I enjoy returning to this city, and on that day the lighting conditions were perfect—not to mention the stunning cloud formation. Thank you for the selection. Cheers ♥️🍀
It worked out wonderwell. Did the city change after all those years?
In the end only a few great photos are needed to attract people.
