#Monomad Challenge - Tempo para sonhar acordado / A time for daydreaming [Pt-Eng]
Bom dia, amigos do #Monomad
Numa semana bem diferente, e a menos de uma semana das eleições antecipadas para a Assembleia da República Portuguesa, vários sindicatos dos trabalhadores da empresa pública de comboios convocou uma greve de dez dias.
Não gosto de ir para Lisboa de carro, pois acabo sempre por não aproveitar o tempo de viagem, gastando muito mais dinheiro em combustível e estacionamento. Tive que optar por uma alternativa numa manhã da passada semana, para me poder deslocar ao centro da cidade para uma consulta no meu dentista. Optei por ir de carro até à estação de Metro mais próxima, e de aí apanhei o Metro para chegar ao meu destino. Como não gosto de chegar atrasado, fui com algum tempo de antecedência, o que me deu para pode observar com atenção as pessoas e os locais por onde passei.
Tinha mais de uma hora até à hora da consulta. E levei comigo, como habitualmente, um excelente companheiro de manhã - um livro. Reparei num parque urbano bem perto do consultório, e aproveitei para relaxar e deixar-me embalar pelas histórias e ideias fantásticas de Haruki Murakami...
Good morning, #Monomad friends
In a very different week, and less than a week before the early elections for the Portuguese Parliament, several unions working for the public train company called a ten-day strike.
I don't like going to Lisbon by car, as I always end up not making the most of the journey, spending a lot more money on fuel and parking. I had to choose an alternative one morning last week in order to get to the city center for my dentist's appointment. I chose to drive to the nearest Metro station, and from there I took the Metro to get to my destination. As I don't like to be late, I went a little early, which gave me time to observe the people and places I passed.
I had over an hour until my appointment. And I took with me, as usual, an excellent morning companion - a book. I noticed a city park very close to the office, and I took the opportunity to relax and let myself be lulled by Haruki Murakami's fantastic stories and ideas...
I hope you enjoyed my post here in the B&W community
Bem Hajam 🍀

Shots from the right angles. Your photography is very cool.
Thank you for your comment, Brother Nas!
Wishing you a great Sunday!
Cheers!
Some nice images there, they look great in monochrome. It's been so many years since I've been Lisbon, it's a pretty place!
Good morning, TBh!
Thank you so much for reply my post.
I'm very grateful for your kind words. I hope you'll consider revisiting Portugal, and I advise you not to stop at Lisbon. What other cities or towns did you visit at the time?
Cool series b&w shots.
Have a wonderful Sunday
Thank you so much, Heroldius!
A big day is waiting for me...
This weekend I'm organizing an important event, so I can't get much rest. But it's an event related to a hobby I have, and I'm really enjoying doing it. Maybe in a future post I'll see if I can publish something about it. Have a good Sunday, my friend!
