notes:

See partially of the bay of Luanda (Angola), captured of my balcony in a 4th floor.
This picture was made 6 in the morning approximately, as one can see the Marginal Avenue doesn`t have traffic.
On the left side of the picture it is the vault of the building of the National Bank of Angola, and in the right we can see Fortress of Luanda current Museum of the Armed Forces.

I like the shot but my eye is tilting to level it up. i think a small rotation clockwise would improve it. (imho)

Without me to want to contradict your opinion that is treated here am an illusion of optical, provoked by the line that draws the bay and the line of the horizon that it is not leveled, because the point on the right side is much higher than the left side.
In case I made the rotation the buildings would be sloping.
But thank you for the attention released to my work.

Yes, of course, you are right. I tried to rotate it, and it was all wrong! You are right about the optical illusion.

Mas que belas recordacoes o meu amigo me veio trazer...comecei a voar para Luanda em 72 e chegava a ficar 12 dias seguidos, so com dois voos pelo meio a Beira e a Lourenco Marques!Comecei por ficar no Hotel Universo, depois passamos para o Tropico e nos ultimos anos de voo, 2001 e 2002 fiquei no Presidente, no Continental, etc...
Esta e uma baia lindissima, ja tenho algumas saudades da ilha, da restinga, da barracuda...
Belos tempos!!!
Grande abraco.

A. Girao #31 Sat 2 Oct 2004 15:31

Entao ja voamos juntos Luquesio?
Mas eu ainda la vou bastantes vezes, conheco bem esses locais mas a Barracuda ja nгo existe, fechou a ja algum tempo.
E o Mussulo?
Irei para la no proximo mes.
Um abraco Luquesio
