Lisboa - amarelo e azul

Minha cidade dos sonhos…

Lisboa å Noite

Among the many enticing characteristics of Lisboa are the sensuous curves and undulating hills. A feast for the eyes. Roaming along the cobblestoned streets at night is like wandering through a dreamscape.

Last Year in . . .

LizBoa In Marienbad

The Sunday Post:
Last night, El Somnambulisto returned.
Suddenly it was
LizBoa Year in Marienbad.
Or am I getting my places confused?
It's so frustrating when I wake up
and the answers disappear
like vapor
on a windy day.

Ohlos de Lisboa

Olhos de Lisboa

The Sandman, probably jet-lagged, arrived late last night. Maybe that's why I dreamt I was in the time zone of Lisboa and I saw a woman from the past staring into the windows of the state of the future of the state . . .
It was #surreal.
But then I woke up.
And I was in Lisboa.

This post goes out to my great and longtime friend Donna Donato, Parisian expat photographer extraordinaire whose work of reflections & shadows on Instagram as @parisdeed is an inventive & imaginative set of imagery. I was thinking of D when this image came to me.

Liz and her Thought Cloud

The Sunday Post:
I had a technicolor dream of Liz and her Thought Cloud

Três Reis de Lisboa

Meanwhile, back in Lisbon . . .

Liz and I took a walk along the beautiful promenade by the River Tagus. It was a Saturday and the sun came out after several days of rain and clouds. It seemed like the entire city was strolling with us. Like anywhere, we passed several buskers and artists, all very talented. But as we approached the expanse Praça do Comercio there came a beat. My ears perked up. We made our way through the small crowd that had gathered around and there we encountered three kings bearing the gifts of amazing drumming. They were at the edge of the rounded corniche that leads to the centuries old boat launch. Liz and I took an empty spot immediately behind them as the vista of the three men, the crowd and the huge Praça on that sunny day was an enthralling vision. . . .

It was so much so that I spontaneously started video recording the moment. The results can be seen and HEARD on my new blog post -- (the link is in my bio). Please check it out. It's only a little over a minute long and I think you'll enjoy it. And while you're on my site please take a look around -- I've been updating and adding some new work so there's other stuff to see as I work my way "back in the groove." Thanx!!
