Nosy Neighbor
Lisbon, Portugal
2017
Our apartment in Lisbon is on the top (4th) floor of our building but still sits lower than the building across the street. There is also a ledge outside our three large windows that prevents us from seeing all the way down to the street. So, while they let in a lot of nice light, the view is restricted to the upper floors of the adjoining buildings. I still like looking out though, but every time I do this nosy neighbor is always looking back at me. I know it’s just a sign but it fools me for a fraction of a second every time. It’s nice that he’s smiling but you’d think he could wave once in a while instead of just stare at me.
