On The Go
Quick picks and previews, taken with the phone or processed with the phone, usually while travelling but also random moments from everyday routine.
The best things in life is the little things, may we always have wine, cheese and bread to enjoy them. First photo is from 2013, second from 2019. #spain #castillayleon
Holy Week in Spain is literally a full week, often with more than two processions per day, with each congregation having their rituals. #spain #zamora #castillayleon #holyweek #semanasanta #semanasantazamora #fujifilm_xseries #vsco #snapshot #instagram bit.ly/2UBLHH0
This week will mostly be like this: shooting hooded people! #spain #zamora #semanasanta
Fire to light the darkness. Fire as the symbol of light and life. Fire as a way to show one’s bravery and courage. #Portugal #entrudo #carnaval #carnival#trasosmontes #vilaboa #fujifilm_xseries #vsco #snapshot #instagram bit.ly/2ToJrCj

Carving a wood block into a face, a Vila Boa mask slowly getting its shape.

A tradition almost as solid as Carnival itself: saving the slow Monday between the busy Carnival Sunday and Tuesday to wander the roads of Trás-Os-Montes.Here a Transmontano Mastiff, one of a pack of five big dogs, guarding a flock of sheep in the pastures of Montesinho. Can’t get more Trás-Os-Montes than this!

Pretty end of day while roaming the Lousã mountain range. Time to get some rest and get ready for an early rise tomorrow. In the next few days I’ll back to the road to capture more masked traditions.

Every year, on Christmas day, there’s an auction to bid on who will be wearing this red and black mask. Everything’s done in secret so that on New Year’s day, at the early hours when the chocalheiro starts his lonely procession, no one knows who he is until it ends… …or he briefly takes it off for a gasp of fresh air.#portugal #mogadouro #trasosmontes #wintersolstice #mask #chocalheiro #chocalheirodebemposta
