Some old pictures

Tried but no luck. There is just too much in the way. Make the best of these as you will.I took a couple of others while I was up there.

Best I have been able to do so far with this one. Modern building has blocked every angle from where the original was probably taken.  I had to climb up Rua das Palinhas, above the square, to even see the church. The tall building to the right of the church tower is where the Vila Recife hotel now stands. Just about the only other one that is recognisable is the small building just left of centre, 'below' the church. I will try to have another go at this one with my better camera. Click the picture to see it full size.

As Jock says, it's often very difficult to get exactly the same angle. Modern building, taller trees and erosion of the cliffs all cause problems. Here are a couple more I managed to do on my way to town this afternoon. Click the top picture to see it in a larger size.

These were taken from just outside the old cemetery, not far from the late lamented Arte Bar.

These next shots were taken from Largo do Rossio near the Iguana Café.

More in a day or two. The one with the truck is impossible. I am fairly sure it is the beach end of the tunnel but the Sol e Mar hotel completely covers that location.

If you are reposting any of Sr Norberto's pictures here, please remember to give him a credit.

I will be out later to try to create a couple more then and now shots.
