J. went to Africa for a few weeks (a research project), and sends this picture from the remote islands of Cape Verde, in the middle of the Atlantic.

Sunset, Av. Gago Coutinho.
Sunset today...
J. just came. Before leaving, I took a picture of the huge arches in the station, which was conceived by Santiago Calatrava, a well known Spanish architect.
Inside the train station...
It's almost midnight...
Actually, you can hardly call these drops of water proper rain... It's night and I'm heading to the train station to pick up J.
Left the car home again today. I'm walking down Av. Rio de Janeiro, with no umbrella!
It's raining... And people talk about it once again. Few people have any memory of such a dry winter. Almost six months an no rain.

Hanging garden, Graça.
A colour picture for a change... Our own "Golden Gate" bridge, the Ponte 25 de Abril, that connects Lisbon to the South.
My hometown of Almada in on the other side of the river, which is two kms wide here. It seems closer seen through the lens.
On my right side, a view to the Tagus and one of the city's most typical neighbourhoods.
This hilly part of Lisbon is full of nice palaces from the Renaissance period and hanging gardens.

Tell me if you prefer this in black and white...
I wonder if I should carry on with the Sepia mania...
Finally, my wideangle lens is of some use!
It's Sunday morning, and another glorious spring day. I passed near the Graça area in Lisbon and got this view of the Panteão Nacional (National Pantheon).

Sunshine, after the rain... A picture for Hippy, a dear friend from the blogosphere ("Dancing in the Divine", in my links). Her beautiful insights on life made a big difference for a lot of people around the world, and now that she stops blogging, I know she will be missed. I hope you come back, Hippy.

This grand building used to be a cinema, the Tivoli... Now we go to the movies in huge shopping malls. It remained closed for years, and opened again recently, as a theater. Took this picture today, right before entering the subway.
I'm trying to take pictures at night... Here, in our own "Champs Elysées", the Avenida da Liberdade...
