River Artist

A stroll next to the Tagus River in Lisbon is very interesting. I never know what I’ll come across. This time it was river art – an industrious artist, using river rocks to create sculptures with a theme.

I don’t know who the artist is. While tourists marvelled at his rock art he carried on, never looking up, piling rock upon rock, creating new works.

  1. This is fascinating! I wonder why he didn’t even look up. Must have been interesting to talk to him.

  2. Thanks I enjoyed that and the last supper is quite appropriate for Easter. On the photo you where mention “And here is the artist himself…” is he the one on the left or right of the picture:
