Red Tram


I came across this scanned image today and just had to post is as a Ruby Tuesday!   
It was taken on a trip to Portugal in 1998. This is in Lisbon near the Palace Square,
just off the River Tagus, where, as far as I know the old style trams still run today.

Great Ruby Tuesday post, Gena. It reminded me of the years (in the '80's) when my family and I lived in New Orleans. We had 'streetcars' --which were similar to the ones you show, and my sons rode the streetcar to school.

Hugs,
Betsy

A lovely photo - it would have been a good one for Shadow Shot Sunday!

The look of old Europe (to this American, anyway :>) is so classic. The light and delicate pastels on the buildings are offset by the louder red on the streetcar. All in all, a wonderful picture!

I like this slice of Old World charm, with just enough red to qualify for Ruby Tuesday!


I agree with Frayed, it would be good for Shadow Shot Sunday too!

Ooo yes, this does look like an old Sydney tram. I love the livery and the curves in the street. It is a shame that Sydney removed all its trams in 1961. They are now thinking of bringing back in some sections to relieve some of the congestion.

I love trams. We were in Lisbon about 10 years ago & it seemed that Lisbon had the cutest trams, the oldest still running and the most modern in the world as well.
