The story behind the image

During our 1988 trip to Portugal we also stayed a couple of nights in Olhão. One day we explored the historic city center with its countless narrow streets. The buildings were often in a pretty bad shape. I liked the look of this particular wall and captured it on film. I guess the wall has been restored since then, and it’s impossible to find out the exact location of it today.

I still like the look.
