What you see above is nothing else more but the background setting of a wine shop window,  in Lisbon downtown. It represents the crops in the Douro Valley, a wine region in Portugal, characterized by its terraced vineyards. The Douro Valley follows, obviously, the river Douro from east to west. The river has its source in Spain, where it is called Duero. It ends in the Atlantic, by Oporto city.

As we travel in the Region, we notice the landscape changes into something totally different, meandering rivers, narrow roads with hairpin curves, and villages that cling to the hillsides. And here and there on a hilltop you can see wineries perching. Not as a Portuguese national but as a human being, I say that the World Heritage label from the UNESCO is well deserved.

Well, after this introduction, much longer than the usual, it's time to make a choice out of the following 6 options. Which one of the following choices is hidden by the Eraser sticker?

1. A truck

2. A tourist bus

3. A single ox pulling cart

4. A stretch of a winding road

5. Two cottages

6. A winery building

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.

I think I can say that the only cons I find in my neighbourhood is the non-existence of commerce and services. This happens in some residential areas, in Portugal. Consequently, whenever I need something very simple like a zipper or get some of my shoes mended, I walk to the nearest town and return back by bus. My flat is in a building that sits at the top of a hill and cardiologist has told me that I shall always walk on flat ground.

Last time I went to that town and passed by a derelict house, I noticed that the window that I had seen before with no graffiti, exhibited now a big bird holding a key from his beak.

 The bow (covered by the ladybird sticker) showed a specific shape.

Would you like to try to guess which of the following shapes was it???

1. A butterfly

2. A fancy bow

3. A wasp

4. A heart

5. A flower

6. A wedding ring
