    Moon today comes with a black myst filter included.

    Waking up to rain pouring just above my head. I’ve had worst Sunday mornings.

    Raindrops are clinging to a window, with a blurred view of a landscape in the background.

    Here we go again! Driving for a good chunk of Christmas day, just to reach the many winter solstice traditions happening in this upper right corner of the country. And starting strong with probably one of the best: Ousilhão.

    Not the winter meal you’d be thinking of, but hey, blessed are the modern freezers.

    The very, very last rays of light of winter solstice. To a new cycle ahead of us.

    Exposição Pop-up da Narrativa no espaço abandonado da antiga Manutenção Militar. Durante anos andei pelas ruas em volta, todo o meu ensino secundário foi feito por ali, mas aquela mistura estranha de zona industrial e rural sempre fez com que houvessem áreas grandes com muros não deixavam ver para dentro. A Manutenção Militar era um desses espaços. E que piada tem explorar e descobrir um espaço assim pela primeira vez, anos depois!

    A long, industrial corridor with metal gates, peeling paint, and a lone person in the distance is illuminated by natural light streaming through barred windows.Two people are observing a piece of art in a dimly lit, industrial-style room with a worn appearance.A large, empty industrial room features a prominent artwork of a face with an unclear identity on the far wall.

    That time of year where the soft end of day light gently enters over my shoulder.

    A dimly lit room features a desk lamp, a computer monitor, and a wooden table surface.

    I know that you’ll find me, there. After the fall…

    Echoes in my head of yesterday’s show of Chelsea Wolfe, already back home…

    Maybe it’s time to head back home…

    Mobile snaps from yesterday’s performance of Tiamat at Under The Doom festival, including a special feature of Moonspell’s Fernando Ribeiro (forth, yellow lights photo), and what a trip it was! It’s not the first time I see them live, not even the first time I have the pleasure of having them share stage with Fernando, but being able to be on the first row in a setlist so focused on the iconic Clouds and Wildhoney albums was that special!

    How not to love signs in unexpected places?

    O telemóvel fotografou pouco hoje, e daí pouca coisa para aqui, mas estas lindas máscaras de Lóbios mereceram a excepção. #desfilemascaraiberica
