Martim Moniz Square, Lisbon
(That strange thing in the background is a sculpture of an undulating Chinese dragon as seen from behind)

Lol, so next time will we see you kneeling behind the dragon, JM? :-)

Hilda said...

I'm sure you've done that many times!

Love the dragon even in this incomplete view. (hint, hint!)

Oh, I know that, too! To get a good photo I do a lot of things that I wouldn't do without a camera in my hand.

I like the sculpture, the photographer's dedication, but not his feet...

Your sense of humor is showing...great composition! I love the dragon, too. Perhaps macro photogs should wear those knee pads that plumbers use?
