CAN YOU GUESS??? #149

First of all, I'm happy about posting this new round of our weekly FUN. I thank all of you who kindly wished me a nice trip. Fortunately, all went well and I returned back home, safely. As soon as I have time, I'll start posting about what I saw and impressed me, positively, what I saw and made me feel disappointed... Anyway, travelling is a permanent discovery and being so, I enjoyed the three weeks spent in the Baltic Republics, despite of the weather that was often stormy, cloudy or windy, never giving me the chance to enjoy sunny, warm days but few hours, only.

Photo taken in Lisbon

Once I was on a bus and looking through the window I saw something hanging on the front wall of a private house that I found funny, not to say unusual. A few weeks later, I decided to walk towards that house and look at it closely. I took the photo above.

Would you like to try to guess which of the following I thought it was funny???

1. A mural depicting a man doing a one-armed handstand

2. A monkey in real

3. A photo of a pair of newlyweds

4. A Snoopy plush

5. Graffiti representing a dog peeing on a fire hydrant

6. There was nothing at all. The front wall was simply painted.

NOTE: Of course, I'll read answer after answer but you'll not know any feedback from me. I understand that there shall be impartiality among players. I would never like, even if being involuntarily, that one, two or more comments from me, might induce any of you to choose or not this or that option.

1. Little gravels and pebbles in a garden

2. One white camelia resting on a stone

3. One white daisy floating in a pond

4. Snow flakes on a street pavement
5. Loose pearls on a piece of gray flannel fabric

TO ALL WHO JOINED THE LATEST 'CAN YOU GUESS???"

I can't find suitable words to present my sincere apologies to our good friend MILLI whose guess had been very correct

 

Milli15 October 2012 03:04
My guess...5. Baby soothers/pacifiers/dummies

 

but, for an inexplicable reason, I didn't notice it.

 

Let's congratulate MILLI

 

 

Dear Milli, I sincerely hope this cake - all you see below is edible - will compensate you for my mistake...

 

 

 

I took the above photo at a cake show, in Lisbon. The patterns are typical of the north region of Portugal, where  people  bustle with colour, from head to toe, embellished with hearts of gold earrings. Their embroideries, pottery and other handcrafts always display a combination of blue and white or blue and red colours. That small heart-shaped box is normally used to keep small jewelry items.
PS: I sincerely hope such a mistake will not happen again.

CAN YOU GUESS??? #52: CORRECT ANSWER

This week, I don't congratulate any of the respondents. Pity!

The choice 'Sangria red' would make sense as most of the churches and chapels in Portugal normally display carpets of that colour. But all rules have exceptions and the chapel I was in on last saturday, had one of a very different colour...

 

 

The carpet colour matches the colour of the interior mosaic tiles, doesn't it? If it were red, it might be a very stark contrast...
