PORTUGAL POST-CARDS COLLECTION

Here are some views of LISBON the Capital and SINTRA, my home-town, as tourists like to see it! The warm shinning Sun, the limpid blue sky and the magic light were my main elements to do these photos.

MINHO - the Northern Province of Portugal - a popular touristic destination known for its beautful landscape, cities, churches and historical sites. This series of photos is dedicated to my dear friend Jorge Vasconcelos, a perfect gentleman of the North and a keen photographer.

Wow...Its so amazingly beautiful there. I hope everything ends up working out for me and my girlfriend in the next year. So we both can experience the magic of these places in person and together :) Thanks for a preview of a soon to be spiritual journey and growth.

Nice set of pictures you did with your heart. You add to each one your feeling, your mood and catch the local climate. They are very romantic, in the tones you did use.You show us how you love your home country but do not want to make a noise, is a quiet love, for the best part of your soul, for the good and bad days.
My congratulations, you did more than a Gallery, you did share with the ones that understand, the best part of your soul.
Abraço
