The Most West Corner Of Europe ~ In Portugal

Aqui, onde a terra se acaba e o mar começa...

Here, where the land ends and the sea begins...

/ Luís de Camões, Os Lusíadas /

The Cabo da Roca lighthouse, overlooking the promontory towards the Atlantic Ocean.

Belita and I arrived at the most west point of Europe around sunset time,
it was breathtakingly beautiful...

Monument declaring Cabo da Roca as the westernmost extent of continental Europe.

A Dreamer's Path

In the hymns that I sing, there's the night

in its elegy, I could not tell

from one sky to another dreamer's path

A Dream In Black & White

all I've ever done is dream

I never tried to be anything other than a dreamer

even in a dream of black and white - is full of poetry

Daydreaming

do not go far!

she says as she sees me passing by

where, if not faraway, is my place?

We got little bit lost from Fatima on the way back to Lisbon, while my friend stopped at a gas station asked for direction...I walked around and saw this abandoned building standing alone under that beautiful blue mixed with crimson sky...

It reminded me of the years when I studied Kandinsky, Miro and Klee; the years when life was young and the heart was so sweet...

A Castle's Memory

It's today, all of yesterday was falling;

between brilliance of light and my sleepy eyes,

tomorrow will come with another steps,

no one stops the castle's remembrance.

The Light Shines Through History

The Monastery of Batalha was built in 1385, is One of the UNESCO world heritage Site, a Dominican convent in the civil parish of Batalha, central region of Portugal.

It is one of the best and original examples of Late Gothic architecture in the world.

Encountering this church was a very precious experience I had with Portugal.
Thanks again, Belita :)
