Colorful joy

It seemed like there were colorful murals on almost every corner in Lisbon! I just love the size of this one and all the joyous activity.

Luckily, this mural had a signature. It appears to be part of a larger project; I hope this means these artists are working on murals in other places too. This one really made me smile. More murals can be found here. Photo taken in August 2016.

Bougainvillea

I can never resist a quick snap of these beautiful blossoms. Luckily, Lisbon was full of their glorious, pink beauty! Photo taken in August 2016.

Blue skies and waves

More from the King Pedro IV Square. I just love those wavy street tiles, they remind me so much of Rio! More signs can be found here. Photo taken in August 2016.

Black and white beauty

I just love how European cities always have such beautiful, old train stations. Lisbon's Estação de Caminhos de Ferro do Rossio is no exception. More treasures can be found here. Photo taken in August 2016.

Bright colors

The bright colors on this mural certainly caught my eye! Just something I found while wandering the streets of Lisbon. More murals can be found here. Photo taken in August 2016.

Devotion

I love the light from church candles. There were plenty of subjects for me in Lisbon. Photo taken in August 2016.

Beautiful buildings

Even the most ordinary buildings in Lisbon are somehow very exciting. I just love the way they use so much color. Photo taken in August 2016.

Tiny treasure

A quick look inside the Our Lady of the Olives church in Lisbon. It's a tiny space, you could easily pass it by, but I'm glad I didn't as the interior is lovely.

I just love the traditional blue and white tiles. There were several scenes depicted along the walls. More treasures can be found here. Photos taken in August 2016.

Funny faces

I love a little whimsy on something utilitarian, such as this receptacle for recycling glass. I found it during my summer trip to Lisbon. More murals can be found here. Photo taken in August 2016.
