Digging deep in my archives and finding a photo walk from almost a year ago yet to be uploaded, when me and João Sousa went randomly shooting stuff in Chiado and, without planning found one of Lisbon’s Lent processions.
One of the neat things of Lisbon is that, because it’s a very hilly city, you can easily be walking on a street and find yourself with the river or a sea of roofs in front of you. Those who live in this apartment building have this view as soon as they leave the elevator. Every single time. Every single day. I bet it that can brighten someone’s day.Lisbon, Portugal 🇵🇹, January 2023#lisbon #portugal
A Saturday afternoon I wasn’t in the mood to return home after lunch, so I went the opposite way until I found myself by the river.
Random train to some place… Photowalks on rainy Sundays that you weren’t suppose to leave the couch potato. And I wasn’t planning to, but @luiscosta76 was in the mood to go to places, and I still have to remind myself that bad weather gives neat photos…Vila Franca de Xira, Portugal 🇵🇹, January 2023#vilafrancadexira #portugal
The last day of the year woke up sunny and warm, unlike the previous ones, and me and João were headed to the last leg of this trip: the Mirandese Plateau. The golden winter sunlight promised some lovely shots of the pastures and stone walls of that little corner of the country (not a metaphor, it’s the top right corner of Portugal), but as we took the cameras from our bags things got darker, thick clouds reappeared and the lovely light that followed us all day was no more. This trip had plenty of bad weather photos, and it was meant to be that way to the end, until the last day of the year. Not complaining, not complaining at all…This is just an update of our last day of the year, no hidden meaning year recaps or deep thoughts on what’s to come. Stay safe and have fun on whatever you’ll be putting your mind into next year. #trasosmontes #portugal
The slower days between the winter solstice festivals this year brought the rainiest, gloomiest days I’ve seen in this part of the country. Time to make some bad weather shots, and get indoors when it gets too wet… #winter #trasosmontes #portugal
Ontem foi dia de festa em Grijó de Parada, não só por ser dia de Festa dos Rapazes , não só voltarmos a estar juntos depois da pandemia, mas porque este ano se inaugura uma estátua a celebrar os Caretos de Grijó. É muito disso se deve a este senhor, o grande André Seca, não só porque é ele uma das grandes forças que mantém viva a tradição, como também foram as mãos dele que a construiram! #festadosrapazes #trasosmontes #portugal
Picking up an unlikely photo, of every one returning home (even the sheep) to show full the return to Ousilhão was after the pandemic. The Christmas decorations in the window is a cherry on top. It felt nice to be back!! #wintersolstice #trasosmontes #portugal
The day of World Cup 2022 Final has finally arrived, while I happened to be away from the city. With Portugal out of it there’s a kind of lack of interest, but every TV set was playing the same thing. #beirabaixa #portugal
When one of your photo mates dares you to go out for some shots, on a holiday you we’re planning to be a couch potato all day. I guess I can leave the potatoing for later…
Mais um Exodus Aveiro Fest que terminou, o quinto, vou desde o primeiro, tanto que já se foram criando vários pequenos rituais à volta desse fim-de-semana.E em todos eles a semana seguinte é meio que a absorver tudo aquilo que fui vendo, que fui ouvindo e, neste ano que até tinha uma camera comigo, nos momentos que fui registando.E a cada ano que passa vou tendo um respeito cada vez maior pelo Bernardo Conde, pela Isabel Goncalves e o resto da malta que põe isto de pé. E cada vez mais gratidão também!
De volta a casa depois de mais um Exodus Aveiro Fest cheio de emoções, mesmo que nem todas alegres, e de coração muito cheio. Durante os três dias fui partilhando nos quase sempre nos Instagram Stories, e juntei todos eles aqui: Instagram
Another of my recent batches, in between the social events that I’m likely late to or just the random walks after a day in the office. Slowly getting back into the routine of going after photos, which is a good thing. I guess…

To go along with the blog post I posted earlier, here you can find all my Amplifest 2022 photos. Well, not everyone one of them, you know what I mean… Check them on Flickr: flic.kr/s/aHBqjAe…
As fotos da Cláudia, provavelmente as mais bonitas do Planalto Mirandês, para além de estarem expostas em Mogadouro estão também no Fugas. www.publico.pt/2022/10/1…
As the fresh memories from Iceland start to fade away I’m slowly returning to the random walks in my city, but also looking back to the photos taken in the rest of this summer, as the days slip into winter.Lisbon, Portugal 🇵🇹, June-September 2021#lisbon #portugal
What do you do when you have northern lights above your head, but no tripod (as if I carry tripods anywhere these days…) nor a pretty foreground to write home about? Do whacky stuff handheld, I guess…#aurora #auroraborealis #northernlights #iceland
Avoiding the 1. There’s a common traveler’s misconception that the Route 1 is the only road in the island, probably fueled by the countless “ultimate road trip” posts found in almost every travel site.But in each return I been trying avoid that road as much as possible, aiming for the less busy routes, with the obvious consequence of finding myself driving gravel much more often. Going after the slow-paced, sometimes boring, bucolic and lonely stuff that does catch my eye. #iceland
Back to the réttir. In my last Iceland trip one of my goals was to capture them, the sheep roundups at the end of the summer, but an airline left me stranded halfway and that plan partially failed. This time, and despite the main goal being hiking the Laugavegur trail, I could not ignore that September is réttir month, so I went back for them!#réttir #iceland
