The story
The sun was finishing its drawing.
It gilded the Douro, lit up Porto’s rooftops and left the horizon for the final stroke.
Bento followed every colour with his pencil, from up high.
That afternoon, neither of them was in a hurry to sign.
Notice
From the stone balustrade, the river curves towards the sun. Bento draws instead of taking a photo.
