Pont St.Louis, Porto


Pont St. Louis, Porto, Portugal. Watercolor in my travel journal, 4x6" (10x15cm.) Designed by Eiffel, a couple of years difference with the famous Tower in Paris, this bridge looks like the Eiffel Tower lying down! I'm thinking of Delacroix, and his incredible infancy full of accidents. Few babies have gone through what he did: by the age of three, Eugene Delacroix had survived being hung, almost drowned, poisoned,  and strangled.
Puente St. Louis, Porto, Portugal. Acuarela en mi cuaderno de viajes. Disenada por Eiffel, con unos pocos anos de diferencia de la famosa Torre en Paris, este puente parece la Torre Eiffel acostada! 
Estoy pensando en Delacroix, y su increible infancia llena de accidentes. Pocos bebes han sobrevivido lo que sobrevivio: a la edad de tres anos, Eugene Delacroix ya habia sobrevivido de estar casi colgado, envenenado, ahogado, y estrangulado.
