Oh I love this tile work. Nice shots!
I love the eccentric colors of the animals. You always do such a great job of capturing your city's artwork.:)

Interesting street art! Nice day!
les peintures murales dans le métro sont vraiment superbes.
Murals in the subway are really superb.
I quite appreciate this metro stop, although it is not my favorite. I hope to continue shooting some of the subway stations because I think they are worth.
Thank you for the blog Gwyn :)
these are really lovely, must be a lovely metro stop too. i like the whimsy of the animal colors.
What beautiful tile art - I love it! I'd forgotten about it, I think it's quite common in Lisbon isn't it? (I was in Lisbon for a few days about 5 or 6 years ago - what a wonderful city!).
