    Still from last week’s march against racism here in Lisbon, something that, according to our prime-minister, is very radical to do…Let’s be radical then.

    Pretty sunsets to close the day.

    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.

    A regressar de Trás-Os-Montes, mas confuso com uma bola de luz no céu que não sei bem o que é…

    A bright sunset view is seen from inside a car, with road and sky visible through the windshield.

    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.

    Antes da consoada.

    People are climbing ladders to prune and tend to the branches of a leafless vine against a clear blue sky.

    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.

    Sábado fui até à Palavra de Viajante ouvir a Tânia Muxima falar do Upper Mustang, onde tenho uma enorme vontade de ir. Claro que não é a Tânia na foto, mas este ar do Bernardo Conde de quem vai conquistar o mundo pedia um disparo! Mas as fotos dela vão estar lá nas próximas semanas, e valem a pena!

    Still from this weekend’s Bairro do Grilo, or Bairro das Artes: a showcase of how arts could fill an empty and abandoned industrial complex in Lisboa. Hopefully won’t be a single event…

    A person is walking between large industrial storage tanks in a facility.People are gathered in a room with artwork on the walls, and a small bicycle leans against a column.A silhouette of two people is seen through a corridor window with a row of windows on the right.A dimly lit restroom features three white sinks aligned under a rectangular mirror with a small pink flower sticker.A beige control panel is set against a green and white wall between two colorful murals, one featuring two figures and the other abstract shapes and faces.A silhouette of a person is visible behind a frosted glass partition with horizontal stripes.Two people stand in a dimly lit room with their shadows cast on a wall.A dimly lit, empty stairwell with weathered green and white walls and a metal railing creates a sense of decay and abandonment.

    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.

    Still from last weekend, there wasn’t much time for proper street photography, but one that carries a camera always ends up shooting some snaps.

    A narrow street lined with colorful buildings leads to a distant Clérigos Tower, with two people in rain ponchos walking down the street.A person walks along a street lined with a tall, pink fence in front of a building.A person carrying a large rainbow-colored bag walks in front of closed storefronts, with graffiti on a nearby utility box.Two people are sitting at an outdoor table near a shop with clothes displayed at the entrance, while a person stands in the shop doorway.A café terrace with empty white tables and chairs is set against a backdrop of colorful, historic buildings, featuring a prominent Heineken sign.People are walking in silhouette under an arch with a bird flying overhead against a cloudy sky.A narrow alley features a scooter parked on cobblestone pavement, with colorful graffiti, including a yellow face, on the walls.A person sits in a train near a window, gazing at a misty landscape with a bridge in the distance.
