Men At Work

Lisbon, Portugal

I have stated numerous times how impressed I was with the walkways in Portugal.
As we were out walking one morning we saw some of the men who create those walkways.
When you think about all the sidewalks and all those small stones being carefully placed
it kind of boggles the mind.
Cheers to the workers who are so good at their craft!

Very nice work image these stone masons make their work look easy.
These steps will be beautiful when they are done.
Nice sharp shot and composition.

The walkway construction is labor intense and beautiful.

It must take them forever and be very pain staking work to place them correctly. A local town to me has a lot of cobbles and every year they are all reset.V

At least both of them are working. Sometimes (and this happens in Spain too) there are two men working and four more looking at them.V.

fascinating...they must be patient and systematic in their efforts...a well chosen subject, and fine capture too..

Tough and back-breaking work to create those works of art. Nice documentary shot.

You are so right Jane, anything that is not a Natural beauty had to be done by skilled craftsmen & craftswomen, always great to find a work in progress like this.

This is a very interest picture, Jane.. I wish we took time to make such detailed walks and stairs here..
