Wild rabbit, three young animals together, Alentejo, Portugal - by Duncan Usher (1954), German

I must confess I have a special hatred for doorbells. Actually, I don't even have a doorbell in my place. But that's because most doorbells are not actual bells - like these ones I found in Alter Pedroso. These ones I love - with all my heart.

This is a good example of the typical elementary school from the mid-XX Century in Portugal. This typology of school was created by an architect called Arnaldo Redondo Adães Bermudes, and I have to say that I quite like these buildings, even if, nowadays, they are no longer suited for the schools of the XXI Century. Nowadays, this one was converted into a multifunctional pavillion, and it can be found in Alter do Chão - albeit other towns in the Alentejo have similar schools, usually with those (rather charming) belfries.
