Ponderings of a retired Tasmanian, photographing, animal loving, book reading, travelling, motorbike riding penguin, growing old disgracefully, who still loves old Penguin books and sharing our world with others.
Street Scenes from a Bus in Lisbon, Portugal
I like taking phone photos from a bus or train when travelling. I thought I’d share a few here.

I live a retired life in Tasmania, Australia. I love books, travel, animals, photography, motor biking and good friends. I indulge in all these activities with the little Travellin' Penguin who has now shared five continents with me. We love book shops, photography walks and time with friends as all our family is in USA and Canada. I enjoy visitors to my blog so hope you'll stop by.

Beautiful photos from Lisbon. Seems like a nice trip. I always wanted to go there, and your pictures shows that it is a must.
Yes, it is a very colourful city but so much busier than I am used to. Once home I won’t care if I never see another tourist again, at least for a few months, haha.
What wonderful photos! The one of the laundry against the side of the building is wonderful! I really got a feeling for the quality and strength of the light from that one.
There seems to be laundry hanging from all the old buildings. We laugh at how we would manage that. Such as dropping a sock or a pair of knickers 5 stories down. Haha
Ooo yes! I love these kind of quick, random snapshots from trains, cars, buses, etc. The one where the focus is on the red bike and shadow, my eye immediately went to the rooster and matching something in the window!!!! I love that!
Those custard tarts look sooooo good! My Mom often made custard pies but I was so disgusted by the name of them I could never bring myself to try any. Now she’s 92 and doesn’t bake or cook so of course I’m kicking myself for refusing to try a bite. LOL
Love the red “people” art in the square, the church, and the pink and yellow houses.

Those tarts were excellent. Glad you enjoyed the photos. So much to look at whatever place you visit that you haven’t seen before.
