Lost in Translation
Looking for meanings in words, images and sounds
FOLLOW MY SHADOW
From the left bank of the Tagus River, a magnificent, red-painted, steel suspension structure crosses the bay and takes you straight onto shores of Lisbon. All you need to do is follow its shadow.

I always think huge bridges like this are such a marvel of engineering.

They are! And maintenance is tricky too. Recently I saw people working there change light bulbs. What a thrilling and risky job 🙂

It’s a photograph for wanderers the world over! Looking at it, who doesn’t want to cross that bridge? It’s superb, Paula! The clarity of that shadow- I really love it. Thank you so much for thinking of me. I opened my Reader, unsuspecting, to your lovely image. Yes, I have crossed this bridge but it was not a happy occasion. One day I’ll go back 🙂 🙂 Wishing you a peaceful weekend, hon, with as much rest as you can manage. And thank you! 🙂

On the left bank of the Tagus river, opposite of Lisbon there is a sculpture (huge) similar to the sculpture in Rio of Christ. That’s where I took it from. Thank you very much, Marilyn. It is nice to know that you like it.

Hice un viaje a Lisboa con mis padres hace dos o tres años en verano, fuimos en coche y atravesamos este puente. Fue una impresión maravillosa: la anchura del río, la luz del sol que se reflejaba en el agua, las dimensiones del puente y la estatua del Cristo Rei.
Tu post me ha traído muy buenos recuerdos Paula! 🙂

I’m doing well but as is usual my problem is work consumes too much time leaving little time or energy for what I really love to do. When I do have time I make sure to go to your blog! Have a great day
