This image focuses on a hillside street in Lisbon where a yellow tram negotiates a tight corner. The vehicle occupies the right side, its rounded front catching warm light and reflecting fragments of doors, windows, and overhead cables. The surrounding buildings are close and vertical, their balconies, shutters, and stucco surfaces stacked above the tram like a compact wall of dwellings.

The cobbled pavement and steel tracks pull diagonally across the lower zone, emphasizing the incline and the effort of climbing and descending. Color shifts from soft greens and creams along the façades to deeper browns and golds near the ground, suggesting the mixture of ocean air, dust, and long use embedded in the street.

Rather than isolating a landmark, the work records the sensation of a city built on slopes, where daily movement depends on this slow carriage of people up and down between houses, river, and sky.
