Waking up early on a mild but still winter Sunday to catch some fish #street #lisbon
The previous weekend I went on a walking tour, not the kind of thing I would do in my own hometown, but Carlos Carneiro (he has no instagram, but can be found here: www.carlosalmeidacarneiro.com/lisboa-a-…) has put up a quite interesting and really off-the-beaten track itinerary exploring the city’s borders, going through some of the invisible parts of the city, even for locals, and starting in the overly photographed and cliché riverfront and ending on the northern suburban limits of the city, following the formal but also the hidden borders of the city.#lisbonborders #lisbon #portugal
Random Saturday wanderings in non-touristy neighborhoods of Lisbon #street #lisbon

Taking my camera downtown, to my little Saturday afternoon program, and shooting some shots along the way… #street #lisbon #portugal
Some days ago I wrote about the cold, frosty mornings of Trás-Os-Montes. Here the lens of my mate João Maia captured me in one of those mornings.
Already back home from Trás-Os-Montes, almost for a week, it’s time to wrap it up for now with its most peaceful moments, and miles away from the activity on the festivities: the foggy, dreamy mornings! #portugal #trasosmontes #fujixt3#vsco
Nothing too fancy, just hanging out with some fellow Fuji (and not Fuji) shooters on a sunny winter day, kind of checking out my city again…
The festivities related with the winter solstice run from mid December to mid January, with three peaks: Christmas, New Year’s Day and Three Kings Day. Salsas is probably the largest of the Three Kings Day festivities, where the local “caretos” are joined several masked people from the northernwestern corner of the Iberian Peninsula, and where everybody finally gathers around the burning “Old Year”. This massive bonfire feels like a perfect spot to end this “winter solstice season”. #snapshot #portugal #trasosmontes #wintersolstice #festadosreis #mask #fujixt3 #vsco
Unlike other festivities around winter solstice in the North Eastern corner of Portugal, that are fast-paced and a bit on the crazy side, things at Vila Chã are more on the cozy side, which doesn’t mean less fun! Even in a ice cold morning like the one today. #snapshot #portugal #festadavelhaedomenino #trasosmontes
That time of the year again, looking back to the previous 365 days and doing that typical instagram top nine compilation! These were my nine most popular, not necessarily my favorites, but sum up pretty well what was my 2019: lots of Portugal and masks, some older stuff (specially the derelict houses of São Tomé) and some Iceland (clearly you liked it more that the USA). Curious to see what the next year’s picks will be. Hoping a great new 2020 to everyone!
