steen..those pics are great. i down loaded several, and they make one heck of a desktop background. i've watched this site a long time (i ,found it through the " news"), and you and your people are realy doing somthing.

Thanks
Yes the photos are quite amazing, especially the market pictures, I am getting a few emails showing interest in printed copies and will get a quote when I have an idea of quantity. Unfortunately prints are expensive as few laboratories can handle black & white prints from 6x6cm negatives these days.

(You can find the photos here: http://www.carvoeiro.org/gallery/ )

yep.

actualy, j.r. is more like l. b. j.,and the bush we have now. i like to think i'm more like gary cooper in "high noon". ..unless you have an oil lease i want to buy. however, you are right about the spurs and the bar stool. :lol:

The pictures are amazing - how CVO has changed in such a relatively short space of time. Especially liked the photo of the town beach which shows how un-developed the village was in those days. Question - does anyone know when did the tourist boom actually took off in CVO i.e. when did the property developers move into this lovely part of the world?

I can remember visting the square in 1979 and seeing far less building than there is today. I am interested in the pictures as they represent a poignant reminder of how the village used to look. If I manage to get hold of some copies I hope to frame them as a permanent memory of days gone by
