Lisbon's lovely Balconies...

Walking through Lisbon one can find all sorts of colours and lively sights, from beautiful flowered balconies, to the typical "mercearias" which sell fruit and vegetables and whose shop windows are so refreshing to look at!

Everywhere, some explosion of colour catches your eye... in a source of permanent Joy.

Things may be as common as a restaurant decorating it's windows with simple transparent glass bottles with white flowers inside...

Or they can be more complex, as this example of a balcony with two different sorts of flowers falling in a "cascade" of colour, in a silent colourfull duet!

I hope you all enjoy it as much as me!
