Today we were let out for good behaviour, destination Lisbon.  Despite the low winter sun it was warm and dry; the smoke from a dozen hot chestnut sellers filled the air, none of them doing a brisk trade in the unseasonal temperatures.

The shuttle bus delivered us just above Rossio Square from where it is a walk into the light all the way down Rua Augusta to the waterfront.  This high contrast view of the world mixed with swirling smoke is primarily monotone so, courtesy of Bibble, I have converted most images to monochrome.  I will remember Lisbon as a black and white world.

Discovery of the day was Mude – the Design Museum of Lisbon.  There is something endlessly fascinating about seeing the familiar elevated to the status of a museum piece.  It was the sixties that dominated but in amongst the hard edged design icons were these gowns which flowed like liquid; inevitably in black and white.

By contrast, this celebration of Fado is pure Kodachrome.
