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…

Michael Collins and his hat
Michael Collins on the Grand Parade isn’t the only one wearing a nice hat. 🙂
Elevador da Bica from another Tram
One of the trams of the Elevador da Bica photographed by me as I went past in another tram along Largo Calhariz. A famous sight in Lisbon, and I was lucky to catch this photo as we trundled along.
Lines of the Street
The black and white bands caught my attention on this street in Valencia.
Wait For Green
ESPERE VERDE! Wait green! On a street in Valencia I saw the white bars of the pedestrian crossing, a “safe zone” to cross the road for pedestrians. Then I noticed the person crossing the road, their clothes neatly matched the bars of paint.
