Signs of Lisbon

It's the signs that mark the city. Little signs everywhere that tell you how to behave, where to go and what's going on at the other side of the door. Here's today's signs of life, with love from Lisbon.

First, the beautiful sign. Neat and elegant and probably photographed by many tourists. Nice, but not very interesting:

Then the street sign. Simple and inevitable, yet stylish and beautiful. Signs as they shall be:

 

 I think the most beautiful signs are the ones that just blend into the wall and make a perfect, everlasting entity:

The most interesting is the old, worn sign. I love how it tells you about the long life of the shop and of the greater times that passed:

 Then there are the sign that tries to tell you not to do what you just feel like you have to do. Those are the sexiest signs I know:

 

Some signs are just messages written on the wall. Instant meaning to the ones who made them, but might outlast generations if put in the right place:

And some signs are just altered - from the original meaning to the additional one:

Oh, and don't forget the message from one person to another. To be adored, envied and maybe even hated by others:

Ah, the feelings that these signs give you! I am inspired and soon ready for a hot, late date in Lisbon. I love this city. And all the signs of it <3
