In the edge of a nightmare

(All photos by Sailor Girl)

"EDGES" is April's theme at City Daily Photo blog community today. From the EDGE of a nightmare, at Cascais train station, in the morning of another day of strike, with no alternative means to commute to Lisbon... This strike has been going on for almost a month and will go on until at least April 15th.

The first photo depicts some of the trains that have been suppressed. The second one information given some minutes later, stating that the next train to Lisbon will depart at 1.08 pm...

Lisbon signs - No, please! Or may be not!...

(Photos by Sailor Girl)

I totally forgot to register this blog on [CDPB]'s July Theme Day!... But I just couldn't stand to be left outside alone!! So here goes my «informal» participation: a photo of a Lisbon sign taken on the top of the street on the second photo, asking us to please walk on the other side of the pavement due to works in progress. I guess that was the reason why those two men over the tram decided to travel like that! Aren't we so clever? We obeyed the sign while ignoring it at the same time!!! LOL!!!...

June Theme Day: «My favourite corner local shop»

(Photos by [Luís Miguel Correia])

Today is Theme Day at CDPB - City Daily Photo Blog Community. The theme is about our favourite corner local shop. This used to belong to my family. It used to supply and distribute groceries throughout its Lisbon's Groceries Shops (Mercearias Vale do Rio) and wine throughout the World. Then came the «radical lefties» (one of them now in a very confortable position in Brussels) and, well, you know what happened then... Now it is very rare to see an old good street grocery shop...

TODAY'S THEME DAY AT CDPB: NUMBERS

These are my favourite numbers in Lisbon and around the Planet, depicting the seventieth anniversary of the most beautiful four-masted Tall Ship in the World, [CREOULA], built in Lisbon in 1937!!!... Other beautiful numbers I found in Lisbon are painted on ships' hulls and dock ladders!! They look great, don't they??...

I also found an interesting article [here] regarding Numbers, as follows: «The numbers we all use (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) are known as "Arabic" numbers to distinguish them from the "Roman Numerals" (I, II, III, IV, V, VI, etc). Actually the Arabs popularized these numbers in the early 9th century C.E. (mainly through the work in Baghdad of al Khawarzimi who was born in Uzbekistan) but they were originally used by the early Phonecian traders to count and keep track of their trading accounts. But have you ever thought why «1» means one and «2» means two? The roman numerals are easy to understand, but what was the logic behind the phonecian numbers? It's all about angles! If one writes the numbers down (see below) on a piece of paper in their older forms, one quickly sees why.

Therefore, number 1 has one angle. number 2 has two angles. Number 3 has three angles. Number 4 (which used to be written +) has four angles. Etc. And "O" has no angles! Interesting, isn't it? An ancient phonecian manuscript explains this and I thought it to be fascinating.»

TOMORROW'S THEME DAY

That's my country, at the centre, a piece of land with all that Sea!!...

Portugal is Europe's western country and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west and south and by Spain to the north and east. The Atlantic archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira are also part of Portugal. Tomorrow I will be participating on «Theme Day for February 2008», about what my city is known for. «When people think of my city, they think of . . .» is the main idea behind this theme day. I will post a picture of a thing that Lisbon is well-known for, though I am not creative today...

AJUDEM-ME, POIS SÓ CONSIGO PENSAR EM POLÍTICA E PASTÉIS DE BELÉM!!!...

Lisbon's Downtown

Statue of «King José I» in the Commerce Square («Praça do Comércio»), erected in 1775 as part of the rebuilding of Lisbon after the earthquake of 1755.

The same square, seen from River Tagus, with Saint George's Castle («Castelo de São Jorge»)above on the left and Lisbon Cathedral («Sé de Lisboa»), built after 1147 over the remnants of the mosque of the Islamic period, on the right (with a blue stripe).

Photo by Sailor Girl, taken in Lisbon, September 2007, depicting «Queen Elizabeth 2», Portuguese (but former German) cruise ferry «S. Paulus» and a small sailing boat passing by... in River Tagus.
