The ideal sunset is not the one you see and wish you could have been there, but the one we watch and store in our memories. It may not have been the most intense, but it is ideal because it is part of our experiences.
Place of my childhood, to which I often return and photograph. These are moments of great tranquillity at low tide that I capture in these images, revealing a serene landscape.
In the dark, there are only shadows and figures. In our lives under regular circumstances we prefer the light. We are pleased, whether it is the brightness of the moon or the intense dawn. Then we are also bearers of our own lights and ideas, illuminating each other.
A cloudy sunset is almost a Hail Mary. We can either witness a fantastic show of colours or a dull grey nightfall without a glimpse of warm light through the clouds.
The river (Rio Alcabrichel) flooded the road, providing rare conditions which gave an amazing new perspective of the place. The silhouettes of the hills and the tree were reflected on the water along with the colours of the sunset.
O Rio Alcabrichel inundou a estrada, proporcionando condições incomuns que deram uma nova e espetacular perspetiva deste local. As silhuetas dos montes e do pinheiro refletiram-se na água juntamente com as cores do pôr-do-sol.
“There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into sun.”
Pablo Picasso
“Há pessoas que transformam o sol numa simples mancha amarela, mas há aquelas que fazem de uma simples mancha amarela o próprio sol.”

Here the representation of the four elements: Earth, Water, Air and Fire. Fire being a distant element, yet well present on life’s evolution that the Sun has made possible.
Eis a representação dos quatro elementos Terra, Água, Ar e Fogo. Sendo o fogo um elemento longínquo mas ainda assim bem presente na evolução da vida que o Sol proporcionou.
O Ilhéu de Porto Novo separa as praias de Santa Rita e Porto Novo. Outrora o mar e o rio juntavam-se neste local transformando este pedaço de falésia numa pequena ilha. Atualmente, durante o inverno, o rio tenta reclamar o seu lugar nativo, chegando mesmo a inundar os campos e tornar a estrada intransitável.
Porto Novo islet separates Santa Rita and Porto Novo beaches. Once, the sea and the river joined together here turning this piece of cliff into a little Island. Nowadays, during the winter the river tries to claim its native place, even flooding the fields and blocking the road to transit.
O passadiço leva-nos até um pôr-do-sol de tons quentes, num passeio pela Praia de Santa Rita. Um veleiro navega pelo mar ao sabor da ondulação e da brisa.
