The other day, I went to Benfica for brunch with a friend. As the meeting point was right next to the train station, I decided to take the train there, as I had plenty of time before my appointment. Leaving the train station and facing one of Benfica's main avenues, Rua da Venezuela, I noticed the intricate pattern that the shadows of the tree branches that flanked the sidewalks projected onto the sidewalks surrounding the station.

It's interesting to have time on our hands and be able to notice these delightful and very valuable details.

The vision I had was that it could be a carpet. A carpet of light... On which everyone walks, but which is constantly changing, from second to second.

A real art in plain sight, and so well concealed. It was a particularly hot day, and that short walk of just a few meters felt great under the pleasant shade of the chinaberry trees (Melia azedarach).

Thanks to @melinda010100 for promoting this contest!

I hope you enjoyed today's eyeshadows!

Cheers🍀
Bom dia a todos!

No outro dia, fui até Benfica, tomar um brunch com uma amiga. Como o ponto de encontro era mesmo próximo da estação de comboios, decidi, e como tinha bastante tempo até à hora marcada, ir de comboio para lá. Saindo da estação de comboios, e de fronte para uma das avenidas principais de Benfica, a Rua da Venezuela, reparei no padrão intricado que as sombras das ramagens das árvores que ladeavam os passeios projectavam no passeios circundantes à estação.

Interessante é estarmos com o tempo por nossa conta, e podermos dar conta e reparar nestes deliciosos e muito valiosos pormenores.

A visão que tinha era que poderia ser uma carpete. Uma carpete de luz... Sobre a qual todos a pisam, mas que está em constante mudança, de segundo para segundo.

Uma verdadeira arte à vista de todos, e tão bem dissimulada. O dia estava particularmente quente, e aquele pequeno trajecto de poucos metros, sabia muito bem ser feito debaixo da agradável sombra das amargoseiras (Melia azedarach).

Obrigado à @melinda010100 para promover este concurso!

Espero que tenham gostado mas minhas sombras de hoje!

Bem Hajam🍀

They resemble the old cobbled streets and Roman stones, don’t they? There’s something truly beautiful about them.

Hello, @sissim72!
This sidewalk, like most of the sidewalks in Lisbon, is made of small cobbled limestone. During summer and more bright days, the light is impressive!
Have a good night rest, my friend!
