Go down to a secret beach...

Tuesday, 30. December 2008, 11:13:36

One week later, here I am again in a new walk or adventure...

That time was in a beach with very dangerous access by cliffs with stones for every where.

When we arrive to the top of the beach, the view is magnificence…we can see a small beach with white sand a bit far away.

We know that that beach have about 300m of sand because by Google Earth we saw the best way to get down…

So this is the view when we get down…

What a nice beach

to stay for a wile, until we have to climb that cliff…

Now enjoy the photos with descriptions of that adventure…

Óbidos village

Monday, 27. October 2008, 17:19:25

castle, óbidos village, castelo de Óbidos portugal

I have a new camera Canon 590, gift from a Opera friend.

I'm so happy for that!

To make a new album photos and a new post in my Opera page, I had a idea to went in a great place in Portugal, Óbidos village, with my wife and son.

Óbidos is about 90km from Lisbon, we take the highway A8 to north. Weather was fantastic for photos.

When you arrive to that village you feel like if you had living in other time.

The area was taken from the Moors by the first kink of Portugal, Afonso Henriques,
in 1148.

Castle, houses architecture, churches are like in that time of the kings.

But let’s go to start by the beginning of my trip.

Before you come inside the village this is the first view you had.

Walk across the river

Monday, 13. October 2008, 17:51:41

Last weekend I was with my family in Alentejo countriside of Portugal.

The village is Amareleja, Moura, very hot in summer about 50 selcius, and cold in winter 0 degrees...

Near the village have a river called Ardila that come from spain.

Last night we had lots of rain during all night long and some thunderstorm too.

In the next day, was a bit dark, but the sun try to look by the clouds!

At the time lunch the day was much clear!

With Ardila so close I wend in the road to get there!

I stop the car and start a walk by the Ardila River .

With my camera in my hands was easy to startt to take photos of some nice views!

River with nice colors...

Any time I see photos of north lights I feel like if I was seeing things from other planet...

They are so beautiful, amazing, fascination and so strange at the same time…

People from north are lucky because they can see them often.

North lights photos make me stop and see them for long time, I also think that those lights are a inspiration for lots of people.

I don't know write poetry, and Greenland is to far away from me to try some photos...but by My Opera community my Opera friends gived to me the oportunity to has them together...Poetry and north lights...

My Opera friends invited by me to write a poem with those amazing photos as a inspiration…”easy”

Those photos was taken in Greenland by Thomas Bojer Eltorp my Opera friend, he have a stunning photos in his Opera page, I think his style of photography is a inspiration for us, I invite you to take a look!

Now is time to see and read the beautiful photos and poems.

I want to say thanks to all my friends that support me in that post.

I want also invite all my friends to feel free and post more poems with those photos as a inspiration! Would be great!

Thanks

Before start reading and seeing all those photos please clic in that song will help!!

North lights and poetry

Bright stars dance on a northern night
Down a green path across a purple sky
A celestial highway going home
Bringing the heavens to the earth.

by Joe

Glowing above me
Was a sea of green
With curving tendrils
And a satin sheen.
by Pamela

A sleepy village touches the stars
With colors of light in a darkened sky.
Flow towards the universe my friends
Find surprise in the freedom and happiness
Held truly within.

by Deborah
