Lisbon continues to astound : such a vibrant city, and the weather is fantastic.
Took the train out to nearby Sintra, a wooded area full of over-the-top former royal palaces and Moorish castles perched atop rocky hilltops.
Of course I took lots of photos of that stuff with the Nikon, but here I present for you the tasteful green seat covers on the train, and below, an interesting iron railing I notice back in Lisbon on the long walk back to the hotel.

It’s always daunting when setting out on a big trip, not only the constant worry that you’ve left something vital behind, but also the complexity of the transportation that’s going to get you there.
From Hiroshima to Lyon the transport is as follows: car to Hiroshima station, bullet train to Osaka, special train to Kansai airport, flight to Istanbul, flight to Lyon, tram to city centre, walk to hotel.
That’s at least twenty hours total, if not more.
Pictured here is stage three…

Standing on the platform of Hiroshima station, waiting for the train home.
Normally a very drab location, but I thought that if constrained within a frame, the appealing colours and shapes might look good.
The yellow strip is to assist the blind; the esoteric shapes indicate where to wait so that you are aligned with the train doors.
