Sea of straws

My old home 20 years ago, on the shores of the Mar de Palha. In other words, Liboa/Lisbon/Lissabon/Lisbonne, depending on where you are from. If you've never been there, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???? OK, I might be biased, as  love the place, the people, the food, the coffee... A nice bica with my pastel de Belem: heaven.

Anyway, more b&w here.
 

The flâneur

Fernando Pessoa, waiting for a coffee in front of the Brasileira coffee house, in the Chiado quarter, Lisbon. Pessoa was the greatest lusophone ( = portuguese speaking) poet. More about this very interesting person right here.
There must be millions of photos of this statue. Well, this is one of mine.
