São Julião Fort at Oeiras

This must be a spectacular view today: Code Red on the shoreline with waves up to 7,5 meters and 100 Km/h winds. I will miss that for obvious reasons...

Looking Out


This giant ceramic lizard is checking what's going on outside the walls of the garden, while others warm in the sun among the bushes.


Rafael Bordallo Pinheiro (1846-1905), known for his illustration, caricatures, sculpture and ceramics designs, is considered the first Portuguese comics creator. Many of his works are on display at the gardens of the City Museum (Pimenta Palace), in Lisbon.
