2 photos from Ribeira , Porto, Portugal (Around 1900)

 Originally born in Porto, Portugal, there was always a personal  interest in the old photos from my city.

Nostalgy come with the years and this article represents the feeling  I'm facing.

Observe these 2 nice albumine photos with the Ponte D. Luis in the background.

Complete picture with children , parents and great parents.

Typical portuguese 1900 mens mustache with striped bathing suit. Children equipped with floating buoys for safety reasons . In 2nd photo, one man already in the water.




To realize the same photo I've decided to go on site and take a similar view. 

What do you think? Probably the same place but more than 120 years later
