🥇 Street Photography: roaming around picturesque historic center of Lisbon by Hive account@phortun

Lisbon is also home to many beautiful parks and green areas. This one is called Alameda. Wherever there is a little piece of land with grass, you will see kids playing football (soccer) there, hoping to become new Ronaldos. No doubts football (soccer) is by far the most popular sport in the country :)

🥈 Japan Adventures Series Part 1: Travel Paranoia / 25 on 25th by Hive account@kayceeports2020

I was so excited when the plane landed in Kansai International Airport, but the feeling of paranoia was overpowering. I was so tense as I passed by the thermal scanners. I didn’t have a fever, but I was paranoid! It wasn’t only until I got clear of the immigration that I let out a huge sigh of relief. I’m not spending my vacation held up in the quarantine facility! Thank God.

🥉 PORTRAITS OF ISTRA - Episode 16 - A SHORT VISIT TO THE ANCIENT RURAL ARCHITECTURE by Hive account@borjan

These small rounded buildings, that look a bit like Igloos made of stone, are scattered all around the cultivated (or once cultivated) fields in the southern part of this peninsula. More often than not, they are connected to the dry stone walls surrounding the vineyards, olive orchards or gardens with mixed vegetables. Just like the walls, they are made of stones collected from that parchment of land to make it suitable for agriculture.
