Boat-Shaped bench, presumably reflecting the town’s fishing tradition:-

Fisherwoman statue. Again, a nod to the town’s heritage:-

Peterhead Trail Plaque, The pends of Peterhead:-

I liked this frieze above the windows of Rochdale Museum:-

Also these stained glass windows which seem to be on someone’s extension:-

Across the road from the Museum was a green park-like area with this iron pedestrian bridge:-

Nearby was this statue of John Bright:-

This spire-y thing is by the side of the road. I’ve no idea what it’s for:-

The town centre has this statue of sheep (rams):-

And spot the dedication on the bridge (which I ought to have placed in yesterday’s post):-

Porto’s beautifully elegant Arrábida Bridge (Ponte de Arrábida) carries motorway traffic over the River Douro on the western portion of the ring road around central Porto.

From the River Douro:-

Statue on top of bridge pillar:-

Support pillars and statue:-

Close up on one of the bronze statues (from Wikipedia):-

Arrábida Bridge looking back towards Porto:-

Coming out of Trindad Metro station we headed downhill. Almost the first thing we came across was this delightful pavement:-

Imagine that in a city in the UK!

It ran down by the side of an extremely impressive building which I believe is the City Hall:-

The huge plaza below it led to a road junction beside which was an equestrian statue of Don Pedro IV (Dom Pedro IV – and I of Brazil) aka “The Liberator”:-

Further into the city I found this statue of Henry the Navigator, of whom I had learned when I visited Lisbon in my extreme youth:-

This road train just trundled along as we were in a leafy square in Porto:-
