Going down, going up, in Lisbon, a city to pop into on a cloudy day with streets adorned with cobbles, a place that rings bells sounding like the sincere letters of its poet Fernando Pessoa. Letters that last in time just like those stones.

Cobblestone streets from around the world - ENGLAND (E.Sussex)
Mermaid Street in Rye, East Sussex
I visited Rye a few times while I was living in England. I will never forget it. One thing I remember particularly well is when I looked through the window of one of those 15-17th century houses. The ceiling was so low that only Lilliputians could live in them. I also remember the bread we bought from a bakery. Am I missing England or what?

Cobblestone streets from around the world - ROME
Cobbled alley going uphill somewhere in Rome, a city, a work of art itself, the outcome of creativity, history and craftsmanship throughout time making statements no city can beat.

Cobblestone streets from around the world - NEW YORK
Cobbled street #3.
There's only one city that will turn me into an insomniac... What a wonderful surprise to find this picture here which, guess what, is available to buy from ETSY right here. Great perspective, impact and contrast. It's NEW YORK. Congrats to photographer Brian Tuchalski.
Alla prossima, Magda

Cobblestone streets from around the world - BUCHAREST
Cobblestreet n.2 is from Romania. What draws me to this cobbled street from Bucharest is the irregularity of the stones and the way they let the light reflect on them. It really looks as if this was taken as far as the year 1700.

Cobblestone streets from around the world - PRAGUE

There's something majestic and artistic about cobblestone streets. I see them all too often here in Italy but this type of street paving is encountered around the world and it goes back thousands of years ago. This is - again - one of those posts that have just popped up in seconds.
So, I said to myself why not do a series of posts with cobblestone streets from around the world? Simple, short and inspiring.
Cobblestone streets it is then! The ones we love to walk on. Perhaps our high heeled shoes don't love them that much but anything cobble and stone for a mosaic artist is a feast. Stay tuned!
A presto!
