Just like this boy, it was the first time I actually walked down this stairway, amazing how I never ended up here in my many random walks. And because he’s further ahead in his exploration than me, he’s walking through those pigeons just like I wanted to do. Lisboa, Portugal 🇵🇹, April 2024 #portugal #lisboa

No idea what’s the story behind this, just the kind of thing you stop, take a look and move on. Vila Flor, Trás-Os-Montes, Portugal 🇵🇹, April 2021 #portugal #trasosmontes
