Portugal - Lisbon - Man reading newspaper headlines on street

With his body in shade and only his head in the sun, a Portuguese man stands in the street of central Lisbon to read the headlines of national and provincial newspapers which are pinned by their top right corners for passers-by to glance at or buy. Lit by early morning sun, the daily or weekly periodicals are set in a neat row for the benefit of this man and other citizens of the Portuguese capital. Ornate square tile mosaics are set in the pavement (sidewalk) in a design style that Lisbon is well-known for. In an age of mass-communications, reading one's media on paper in such a manner already seems old fashioned.
