Totally cool! It is interesting that there are no people in the scene. How long did you have to wait for no people to be in the scene?

Wonderful, quirky. It makes me think of that new documentary Visages Villages (Faces Places).

Location
This is Lisbon, a wonderful city of beauty, build on seven hills.Time
I took this photo about three, the sun was very strong and created massive shadows.Lighting
I had to play a little with my settings because of the heavy shadows created by the afternoon sun.Equipment
I have a Lumix DMC-TZ60, all my photos are taken with this little miracle of a camera...The best thing about this camera is that it has a good Leica lens and it is very easy to carry with you because it practically fits in your back pocket.Inspiration
We were walking through Lisbon, a wonderful city build on seven hills, when I suddenly saw this magnificent graffity on the sidewall of a demolished house. I wanted to show Lisbon as it is; a beautiful combination of old and new, placed against one of the hills on wich it it was build. I liked very much the many triangles in this composition, they are wonderful shapes wich give the composition a playfull strenghtEditing
I don't do much post-processing, I only cropped the photo and played a bit with the color depth and the contrast, that's all.In my camera bag
I don't have a bag of equipment at all, only my Lumix DMC-TZ60, a wonderful intelligent automatic pocketcamera wich practically fits in my backpocket. It shows that you do not have to use expensive and big cameras to achieve nice results...Feedback
If you want to photograph a big wall graffity, make sure you take enough distance if you don't want to have too much perspective distortion. Try to find a good point of view (in this case I was laying flat on the ground) and remember the rule of thirds... In this photo, I saw the possibility to use a lot of triangles to support the composition. I like to edit and crop in different ways, so I can choose the best one the next day, when I can have a fresh look at them.
