Because we were in Portugal during the Christmas season we saw many light decorations, in many different places.
Rua Augusta, the main street, had a circus tent theme with moving carousel horses on the light posts.
On another street were big colorful Christmas bows spanning across the street, lining several blocks. Another street had an umbrella theme.
There were Christmas trees and joyful angels and manger scenes.
But I couldn’t capture a photograph of my favorite display of lights. Early one morning as we headed out of town on a National Park tour, I noticed this boulevard several blocks long lined with trees that were draped in long strings of lights, like tinsel. It was a curious sight during the day and I wondered what it looked like at night. I was pleasantly surprised to see it lit up on our way back into town that evening. The effect was stunning. One of the most beautiful lights displays I’ve seen. Unfortunately I could not get a decent photo through the mini-van window. ;-(
