The white bridge of Lisbon
The Ponte 25 de Abril suspension bridge stands out clearly against the sky in this sunset photo in Lisbon.
The Blue Tuk Tuk
A blue tuk tuk driving along in front of the blue Court of Appeal of Lisbon in Portugal. I wonder how comfortable they are on those cobbles?
NAF1 in Lisbon
Nobody knows who NAF1 is, but in my research I did find a Portuguese company called NAF. Seems they’re involved in real estate and probably not a fan of graffiti. I don’t imagine this man is either.
Waiting for a Taxi
“Look, the taxi is coming now. I see it!””It better be Afonso driving. He owes me €10 from the other night.””Oh, doesn’t look like it. Not his car. You lent him that money to buy a gift for his mom, didn’t you?””Yeah, He paid far too much for a little figurine, but his mom loves…
Dreaming of Handstands
Wandering around Lisbon I came across this bus stop in the middle of the city. The guy pictured in the back of the bus stop caught my attention, contrasting nicely with the people waiting at the stop. When I got home, I looked up the text, “O SONHO NÃO PARA, ARRANCA”, it says, “THE DREAM…
The Tram in the Window
We took a trip around Lisbon on a tourist tram. It’s probably not worth it unless you’re obsessed with taking photos, so I loved it.You do get to see a lot of the city, and it is relaxing. It is cheaper to get an ordinary tram, say route 28, and sight see that way, but…
In Ler Devagar
Ler Devagar is a bookshop in the LX Factory in Lisbon. Books line the walls on shelves too far up to reach, and of course, most of them are in Portuguese. There are a few in English, and even a few photography books. Unfortunately, many of them concentrate on architecture, but there was a really…
Look into my eyes
Sometimes I’m making photos on the street, or in this case, photographing from a moving tram, and someone will make eye contact. They’ll stand out from the crowd because they are different and made a connection.
Cobbles, Light and Shadow
I visited the Igreja Paroquial da Graça (Church of Our Lady of Grace) in Lisbon early one morning. There’s a beautiful view of the city, but if you look behind and around you’ll find these lovely cobbles. In the early morning, the houses opposite cast a shadow on the street and on the wall of…
Hey Gorgeous
A fire extinguisher takes pride of place in a café we visited in Lisbon, Portugal.
Red and Blue and a Bike
In the back of a taxi, looking out through a window laden with drops. The warm red and orange lights from street lighting and the rear brakes of a Tesla win against the cold, almost blue headlights of a passing car.A bike in the background belongs to someone who isn’t home yet.
Lisbon Tram 28
A tram on the world-famous route 28 in Lisbon rumbled past me as I walked up Rua da Graça. Many of the streets are very narrow, and the footpath is too, meaning the tram gets quite close as you walk along.
