When I left the tram, near Restauradores... A colour picture for a change...
And there we went, down the hill... The one in the picture was actually coming up.
View from the back, inside the tram.
I suppose this thing is well over a hundred years old...
Inside the tram...
Later, heading back home, I decided to use this old tram, which connects the Bairro Alto to the Restauradores, in the center. It had been quite a while since I had last been inside.
I left the underground in the Chiado station, and while trying to photograph the buildings, secretely photographed this couple asking for directions to a policeman... I don't know about you guys, but I find photographing strangers quite... embarassing!
Looking at these trees from the other side of the world, I wondered if this is how forests in Australia looked like...
The eucalyptus trees in the park are some of the tallest in the city.
It had been a long time since I crossed the park in Campo Grande. I had forgotten how beautiful the trees are here. Some palm trees are of a variety we don't usually see here, like this one.
Today, I did what I rarely do these days - to walk. To save time finding a place to park in the city, I left my car in a parking area and used public transportation for a change. The sky was partly cloudy at midday and the sun created strange shadows near this place, in Campo Grande.
