Letters of Ali

I spotted these words on a wall on the east of the river Gilao, in Tavira, Portugal, and knew exactly where this particular arrangement of some of the alphabet came from. It’s a famous quote from Muhammad Ali, the former World Heavyweight boxing champion, who taunted his opponent Sonny Liston, in the lead up to their fight in 1964. These words look like they may have been on the wall since then.

This is my second post for the Weekly Photo Challenge of Alphabet.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Alphabet

Michelle created the weekly photo challenge this week, and I love it! This is what she says.

This week, let the alphabet be your inspiration: find a string of letters. Try a multi-photo gallery to collect images of single characters. Find some beautiful typography, or look for letters hidden in natural forms. I’m excited to see your ABCs!

I found these letters in Portugal, I can’t say I found the bar very tempting but it did make me smile. You can join the challenge here.
