Under one of the overpasses near Lisbon Zoo which was founded in 1884, I spotted this long line of animals on each side of the road supports, which were done with painted tiles.
We were on our way to deliver a parcel to be transported to the Algarve in the south of Portugal and my husband did a pit stop so I could snap a few photos, reason why some of them aren't too good.
Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters. Looking forward to your mural finds posted this week. Thanks.
Gosh I think they’re wonderfully painted Sami! What a fabulouso discovery and how kind of J to stop so you could snap them. P's the same, so patient š
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace, I thought they were fabulous too and so many of them.
