Evora Doors, Windows, Stairs and Streets

Doors, windows, stairs, and a street scene.  From wandering around Evora.

I think this is Igreja de Sao Francisco.

This is the entrance to the palacio of the Duke de Cadaval.

Apparently a famous window in Evora.  Don't know why its there, but a lot of fun to look at.

Stairway to heaven.

Classic European narrow road.  Cars can go down this way, though it is a one-way drive.

Lisbon Street Scenes II

Street scenes and a few patterns too.  .

Shadows cast by the setting sun and a possibly vagrant man. 

On the road from Jeronimos.  

Expo Parque.  Another shot of this same promenade is the fifth photo of the patterns post.  

Outside the aquarium.

Lisbon Street Scenes

Street scenes from Lisbon

Violinist busker on the street outside of FNAC, around the corner from the elevador.  He was actually pretty good, nice tone and intonation. 

Street from Rossio up the hill towards Castelo Sao Jorge.  Notice the cannonballs embedded in the floor.  

Looking down a street towards the Tagus river.  

I'm thinking Rossio, but am not sure.  That looks like Castelo on the upper left.  

Heading for the tunnel under Praca Marquis de Pombal.

Street Scenes Around Lisboa

Various and sundry street scenes in and around Lisbon.

Traffic arrows before crossing the Ponte 25th Abril south out of Lisbon.  Cristo Rei visible on the left. 

This house in the foreground has been a point of curiosity of mine since my first visit to Portugal.  I've passed it many times on the road, and its clearly near collapse, but it is also equally clear that people have been living there continuously for as long as I've been visiting.  I've always wanted to go and take photos specifically of this place, but never have.  This particular photo was taken from the car as we passed by.  Almada is visible in the background. 

Graffiti stained walls, cars parked and a gentleman rooting around in the back of his van.  

Metro train on the south side of the Tagus.  

The streets of Laranjeiro.  I can picture the cop car flying over the top of the hill in hot pursuit of some chicken thief. 

Road down to the Tagus river in Trafariense. Trash cans out, Lisbon visible in the distance across the water.
