The story

Not all of Porto’s attractions are grand monuments.

Some hang from the windows, held by clothes pegs and handed over to the wind.

Bento stopped to admire that small open-air exhibition.

And he liked knowing that, if he came back tomorrow, it might already be a new one.

Notice

Washing drying above the street: the city's everyday life, hung out in plain sight.
