Portugal, where art is underfoot

One of many personal notables about Portugal were the streets. They were pieces of art! Cobblestone pathways, roadways, walkways, anyways... they varied from downtrodden to immaculate. I was so impressed by the vision and pre-planning of it all, I decided to take these photos as a planned, themed project for the blog. Here it is...
 One thing I wish I could have captured is the size of these pieces... the ones above were about 12"x12". The octo-squid was about the size of an adult snow-angel...or larger.
 Portuguese Batman...?
 There was an entire sequence of astrological signs done in this form... here are Taurus and Pisces.
 One of many "regular" sidewalk designs...
 Here's for a bit of perspective...
 This continued over quite a distance... about the same as the photo above.
So, pretty much... Portugal rocks!
