Watching this summer’s forest fires around the country from afar, and seeing them everywhere around the city.

Into the night

an empty road at twilight or dusk with illuminated streetlights and a silhouetted car in the distance

That weird liminal space which is the first stroll around block after the daylight savings switches to winter time.

A cityscape is shown during sunset with a busy road lined by trees leading towards a cluster of buildings in the distance.A metal fence with a red and white tape blocks the view of a wall featuring a poster with the title OUT FEST and a partially visible sign pointing towards a PISCINA.Two people are walking past a street vendor's cart emitting smoke during nighttime in an urban setting.A ghostly, distorted face resembling the iconic Scream mask is reflected against a dark night backdrop with city lights and a digital clock reading 18:54.A person is walking along a dimly lit street next to a building with a tree casting shadows on the wall at night.

Winter is coming…

End of summer means pretty skies.

A double-exposure or reflective photograph blending a stone-tiled floor and an orange architectural column with a bright blue sky filled with white clouds. Dark, geometric shadows stretch across the multi-colored tan and brown flagstone flooring on the bottom half, while a thin, faint horizontal line cuts across the reflected sky in the upper portion.

What a strange and weird day this was….

warm, angled sunlight casting deep tree-branch shadows across the pink-to-orange concrete facade of a multistory residential building against a darkening twilight sky

A steep Lisbon street. A bunch of amateur cyclists. A Sunday morning. Plenty of cheerful people on the sidewalks!

I give you the Subida da Rampa do Vale!!

PS - a few more shots of it on my Flickr.

Quick snap from this weekend’s Lisbon Street Photo Fest. Slightly different experience from last year: less talks, no photo walks or reviews, more hanging out with friends. Either way, it was great to be there.

A long, perspective-view corridor inside an art academy with light blue walls and a white vaulted ceiling. High on the left wall, a dark red sign features the text “ACADEMIA NACIONAL DE BELAS ARTES”. Classical white plaster relief sculptures are mounted at intervals along both walls. A colorful string of triangular pennant bunting—with yellow, blue, green, and purple flags—hangs across the foreground. The hallway is illuminated by overhead track lighting, leading toward a darker doorway at the far end.
