The photo was taken at the railway station wall in Aveiro ( the city where Antonio worked as a doctor and I has been a teacher for some years )and worked by my cousin, because the mosaics are worn away by the time and acts of vandalism. Painting tile is one of the most famous in this region and this one represents a boat called "moliceiro",an ex-libris from Aveiro lagoons. In ancient times were used to carry watersweeds to be used as manure, but nowadays is just turistic. Hope you enjoy!

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
