Sintra | Condutor de Charret
Posted by Rui Borges (Sintra, Portugal) on 9 April 2007 in People & Portrait.
Há profissões sonhadas. Ser condutor de charret em Sintra, numa destas tardes qeu se vão, seria uma delas.
There are dreamed jobs. To be charret driver in Sintra, in one of this fading afternoons, would be one of them.

Num local lindo como Sintra qualquer profissão deve ter outro encanto. Gosto do tema escolhido e da composição que seleccionaste. Gosto a forma como o boné foma uma sombra na cara e impede de ver os olhos do condutor.

@badala: Obrigado.
Este é cada vez mais, num tempo em que cada vez mais mulheres conduzem charretes em Sintra, uma raridade.
E um modelo daqueles que resulta bem à primeira fotografia... :-)

esta foto espelha bem o estado da nação, à espera de clientes e o pobre é que tem de apertar o cinto.
