A male house sparrow bathes in a shallow pool, droplets scattering as it ruffles its wet feathers. A silhouetted couple sits embracing at the waterfront, the Ponte 25 de Abril and port cranes rising behind them under a deep purple dusk sky. The Ponte 25 de Abril stretches across the Tagus at dusk, port cranes silhouetted on the far bank under pink and purple clouds. A yellow Lisbon tram waits on curved cobblestone tracks at night, warm streetlamps glowing along the narrow street. A wall of blue-and-white Portuguese azulejo tiles forms a repeating geometric floral pattern. White laundry hangs on a line strung between two windows of a salmon-pink Lisbon facade. A twisted bougainvillea trunk rises in front of a blue-and-white azulejo wall, its branches crowned with magenta flowers above a view of the sea. A male European greenfinch perches on a metal railing, beak open mid-song against a soft blurred background.
