Still feeling the burnt smell in the air… Beira Baixa, Portugal 🇵🇹 2019#forest #wildfires #rural #portugal #beirabaixa #fuji_xseries #vscohttps://www.instagram.com/p/B0cEW_5H6_5/

I tend to do long walks, including on Sundays like today, and often those lonely walks take me over and over to the same ugly places…⠀ Lately my feed has been filled with random photos, from my everyday routines or my commutes. Sorry about all that boring stuff, I’ll be giving a bit more attention to exciting travel photos in the near future.⠀ #lisbon #portugal #street #sonyrx100 #t3mujinpack

My travel mate Fernando Carvalho da Silva, that had to put up with me for a full month in North India, is starting a several months long, full family trip in SE Asia!Make sure to to follow their updates!www.instagram.com/p/Bz2qPzV…

The nice thing of going through archive is finding little time capsules like this stroll in the Tagus south back sometime ago. #lisbon #tagus #portugal #archive #t3mujinpack

One of the most amazing sights I’ve ever witnessed, Bagan with its temples and pagodas, is finally a UNESCO world Heritage Site! Hoping this will help future conservation of thousands of temples, like the ones in the earthquake. Colorless Bagan

Having spent quite a lot of time lately in the office means that my photographic subjects have been close to my commutes. #lisbon #portugal #architecture #street #t3mujinpack

I had the huge pleasure of attending the first edition… The honor of being able to share my work to a packed room on the second edition… And even before the 2nd ended already had my ticket for the third edition!!See you all later this year at Aveiro!! #ngexodusaveirofest #thisisthepowerofsharing www.instagram.com/tv/BzbbtS…

Despite being late June, Summer hasn’t hit the shores of Portugal in full force, so people put the few sunny days into good use.

Some days ago I shared an older gallery when I went after the partying and celebration in Lisbon’s older quarters during the whole month of June with a came. This year didn’t actively went after it, bit when you’re there with a camera…You can find more of my recent shots here: www.flickr.com/photos/t3…

Santo António

Buying a ticket to the party! The night before June 13th, the eve of Saint Anthony, is Lisbon’s longest night, in a month of celebration welcoming the summer. And in almost everywhere you can feel the vibe, specially in the older quarters, but also in unusual places like a ticket booth of the subway. #santospopulares #santoantonio #street #lisbon #lisboa #sonyrx100 #vsco #snapshot #instagram www.instagram.com/p/ByoIadg…

Slow days, preparing the way for the summer slumber… I know that “time flies!” has been used too many times, but feels right today: seems like it was yesterday that I came here for a few days, to take a rest after the busy Winter Solstice in Trás-Os-Montes. #beirabaixa #portugal #portrait #snapshot #shotononeplus

Uploading a new batch of older photos to my site. These ones are from  Lazarim, the place with the old Carnival made of wooden masks.https://photos.joaoalmeidaphotography.com/index/G0000QjsavBbzXPM

A big thank you to the organization for the invitation!!

Another year, another edition of the International Iberian Mask Festival (FIMI) that now reaches its end . Like always, dozens of groups from the Iberian Peninsula and beyond gather in Lisbon for a few days. I rarely takes photos there, each year I’m more focused on having a good time and seeing old friends, but I always end up taking some snapshots!

Good Friday. Long before sunrise, at a time where many party goers are still in the streets, the first procession starts its itinerary with trumpets and drums, returning to its starting point much later in the morning. #spain #zamora #castillayleon #holyweek #semanasanta #semanasantazamora #fujifilm_xseries #vsco #snapshot #instagram bit.ly/2vchMGl

Holy Thursday. Not all processions are to be cancelled if rain comes. Usually night ones, with the penitents, go out regardless the weather, even if it makes it harder to light the candles. #spain #zamora #castillayleon #holyweek #semanasanta #semanasantazamora #fujifilm_xseries #vsco #snapshot #instagram bit.ly/2vebINs

Holy Wednesday. Getting ready for the evening procession that was not to happen, weather messing up people’s plans. #spain #zamora #castillayleon #holyweek #semanasanta #semanasantazamora #fujifilm_xseries #vsco #snapshot #instagram bit.ly/2GuihBZ
