Livraria Lello - I

One place I was very excited about visiting while in Porto was this amazing bookstore - Livraria Lello. J.K. Rowlings used to live in Porto and visit the store regularly. It's amazing staircase is rumoured to have inspired the one in the Harry Potter books. My photo just doesn't do it justice because there's so many levels to it. I used my wide angle lens but I just couldn't get it all in. Plus there were a zillion people in the place. Please check out another of my images here: http://365project.org/kwind/extra-shots/2018-06-30

Here's some google images so you can see if from the different angles: https://www.google.ca/search?q=bookstore+porto&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiw4fj4zvrbAhXdCDQIHYPJDPEQ_AUICygC&biw=1344&bih=794
