Meu lindo Agosto

Decorative lights are strung across a dark, cloudy sky over a rural road, with faint outlines of buildings and trees in the background.

Bela Vista Eclipse

The recommendation for the eclipse was clear: a clear view to the West (pun intended). And because when I started working the Moon was already in front of the Sun, I went to the closest clear view to West I could find: Bela Vista Park in Lisbon.

Two men are standing on a paved sidewalk next to a fence and vegetation, with one man writing or drawing in a notebook while the other looks on.A beige apartment building with multiple windows is set against a clear dark blue sky, with a streetlight illuminated on the right side.A person wearing a white shirt rides a bicycle on a paved path in a sunlit park during the late afternoon.A couple is sitting on a grassy hill in a large open park with trees and buildings visible in the background under a clear sky.A woman stands among trees with two dogs while another person takes a photo in the background.A person wearing athletic clothing and sneakers stands on a paved path in a park during a sunny day.Two women are standing and talking on a grassy area with trees around them during what appears to be late afternoon or early evening.A person wearing sunglasses and a dress is sitting on the ground in a forest with twisted trees and dim lighting.Several people and dogs are gathered in a sunlit park area with a view of houses and trees in the background.Two people are sitting on a blanket on a grassy hillside, enjoying the sunlight while others stand or walk in the background.

The last week working all the way in the countryside, no vacation but plenty of slow days and photo wandering.

Vertical metal frames with irregular shapes are positioned against a patterned, embossed brown textured background, illuminated by a warm light source.Two cucumbers, two lemons, and several red plums are arranged on a stone surface outdoors.A plate is filled with several grilled whole fish, showcasing their crispy, browned skin.Two calico cats are sitting on a patterned floor, attentively looking in the same direction.A weathered, small wooden box with a slanted roof is mounted on a tall metal pole amidst lush green and brown foliage near a wooded area.

Last light through the window. Feels great to not have tall buildings staring back for a change. Days ticking down before back to the project.

A faintly visible moon shines in the twilight sky behind a mesh screen, with rooftops and hills silhouetted in the background.

Photowalking Sundays…

Flashback to that bus trip to Leh

Going back to the tons of stuff in my archive, this time to that bus trip that took me to Leh in 2017: a 16-hour bumpy ride through the rugged mountains of northern India, which span much of Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir, with a couple of mountain passes above 5000m along the road.

One of the most epic trips I’ve made, definitely worth telling in more detail one of these days! But for now here’s a glimpse of it.

A small, rustic roadside shack with red plastic chairs is set against a vast, mountainous landscape under a partly cloudy sky.A vast mountainous landscape under a partly cloudy sky with patches of snow on the peaks.A winding mountain road with two trucks driving through a rugged, rocky landscape under a bright blue sky with scattered clouds.A partially constructed or abandoned building stands in a barren landscape with rugged mountains and a dramatic cloudy sky in the background.A winding road snakes through a vast mountainous landscape under a sky filled with scattered clouds.

Random and unrelated photos from the past few weeks while I was going about my everyday life.

A child wearing a pink shirt and helmet rides a bike along a paved path next to a fenced area by the water with warning signs.A dusty, old car is parked at the end of a dimly lit passageway leading to an outdoor area.A refrigerated display case filled with various beverages is seen behind tables and chairs in a dimly lit cafe or restaurant.Two people are walking side by side through a sunlit area with long shadows cast on the ground.Two people are sitting on deck chairs near a waterfront while a crane on a barge operates in the water nearby.An old, worn book with yellowed and torn pages lies open beneath a white ceramic vase with a tall dried floral arrangement on a reflective glass surface.A person wearing a black cap is sitting inside a dimly lit subway train, with reflections on the glass adding a layered effect.A pink building with several windows is partially obscured by large green trees under a clear blue sky.A wall displays a sign reading Junta-te à Tribo Up surrounded by graffiti and a metal fence with a partially obscured poster behind it.A rusted ship named AGOSTO with the identifier LX-3178-TL is tied to the dock with thick green ropes.
