I was talking to Kiki about street art in Portugal and in particular about sculptures; I was so impressed by the number and quality of bronze sculptures adorning the streets and plazas of Portuguese towns and cities.

Some of the pieces I saw were life-size, others much larger than life. With just one exception every piece spoke to me... now that's something I can't say for a lot of the sculpture we have here in the UK.

I almost crashed the hire car driving around this roundabout... I was too busy looking at the sculpture and not concentrating on the van in front of me! :roll:

Having parked the car I walked back and took a photo... then went off and joined my friend Mr Cool for coffee. :yes:

A little later I walked back and photographed the roundabout from the other side... I'd have loved to go back after dark to see the sculpture lit... maybe next time I visit Portugal. :yes:
