| Sometimes, a fellow tourist can give good tips on posing for a good photograph. The Portugese tour guide in Lisbon is used to being asked for photographs. "Sometimes, my left eye will see left while my right eye will see right," she said as she posed for several tourists. It is good to have a sense of humour. My tour manager is high energy as she stretches her left hand and smiled  I was opposite. Used zooms lens. "P" Mode, Autofocus, Auto ISO and high speed continuous clicking

Holiday Inn, Madrid Watched NHK World on a programme about a company being entrusted with items for safe keeping. It takes photos of items inside the box. A big white sheet is clamped on a stand and the item is photographed against a white background. Tripod. The items are posted online in this portal to be shown to others in the "fun" community. Probably same category and an auction of items for sale. |

| A "gypsy" sells stalks of flowers to 2 male tourists in Spain. If you accept her offer, she will read your palm and asks you for money. As much as 20 euros. You can give her one or two euros, the local guide said to me or walk away. My tour leader warns not to accept any offer or communicate with "gypsies" who are also present in other parts of Europe. Notice foreground, a tourist is clicking the tool used in "Flamenco" step dancing. |
