A Praia de Porto Novo num daqueles momentos mágicos que tanto gosto de apreciar e fotografar. Um mar calmo e um por do sol a brilhar em tons dourados.
Praia de Porto Novo (Porto Novo Beach) in one of those magical moments I love to enjoy and to photograph. A calm sea and a sunset glimmering in golden tones.
Praia de Porto Novo, Torres Vedras, Portugal
A areia dourada, a água de um intenso azul a contrastar com a espuma clara. É esta a vista da costa oeste portuguesa. O ar fresco e o som das ondas e das gaivotas.
The golden sand, the deep blue water contrasting with the light foam. That’s the view at west coast Portugal. The fresh air and the sound of the waves and the seagulls.

One afternoon earlier in the spring I noticed this striking Sun pillar on the western horizon. It was visible for more than 30 minutes. After the Sun had set it turned red and pink (lower right photo). If ice crystals are stacked horizontally in cirrus clouds and tipped in the direction of the viewer, then the Sun’s waning light is reflected in the form of a column or spike. Note also the extended sundogs on either side of the pillar, approximately 22 degrees from it and the position of the Sun. Photo taken on April 16, 2018.

At Porto Novo beach, the distinctive rock decorated with a figure of Santa Rita contemplates the sea and the sunset.
Na praia de Porto Novo, o característico rochedo decorado com a figura de Santa Rita contempla o mar e o pôr-do-sol.
I’m sharing with you this inspirational intense sunset. The sun spread its glory through the dense clouds, creating this end of the day show.
Partilho convosco este pôr-do-sol intense e inspirador. O sol espalhou a sua glória através das nuvens densas, criando este espetáculo de fim de dia.
A panoramic view of the coast line, featuring the beaches of Santa Rita and Porto Novo, subject of many of my photographs.
The intense blue of the sky and the sea blend with the golden sand and the green vegetation. That’s how to characterize the coast of our West region.
Contemplation and gratitude for being part of these magical moments.
Intensos azuis do céu e do mar combinam com a areia dourada e o verde da vegetação, assim se caracteriza o litoral da nossa Região Oeste.
Contemplação e gratidão por fazer parte destes momentos mágicos.
A paradise right here next door!
Magnificent view of the Alcabrichel river valley, with Porto Novo beach in the background and the majestic Atlantic Ocean colouring the horizon.
This is one of my favourite places at Torres Vedras!
Um paraíso mesmo aqui ao lado!

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.
I was driving home and I saw this light pillar (sun pillar) on the horizon, unfortunately I didn’t bring my camera so I photographed it with my cell phone. It was visible for more than 30 minutes and after the sunset the light turned red and pink.
Eu estava a conduzir para casa e vi este pilar de luz no horizonte, infelizmente eu não tinha a minha câmara, então fotografei com o meu telemóvel. Foi visível por mais de 30 minutos e após o pôr-do-sol a luz ficou vermelha e rosa.

The sea breeze comes with its distinctive aroma that makes us remind the days at the beach and the beautiful sunsets.
A brisa do mar vem com o seu aroma característico que nos faz lembrar os dias na praia e os fantásticos pores-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.”
Pablo Picasso
On a cold shadowy afternoon, I decided to go to Porto Novo beach and I was surprised by the faint yellow shines reflecting on the foam, making this unusual scenery.
Numa tarde fria e pouco luminosa, decidi passar pela Praia de Porto Novo e fui surpreendido por ténues brilhos amarelos que se refletiam na espuma das ondas, dando origem a este invulgar cenário.
Global Warming brings us more and more the inconveniences of the frequent atypical storms for this region and time of the year. This was a record of the track left by the Felix storm at Santa Rita beach, where fortunately it didn’t cause any damage. In the middle of gale and rain a moment of peace happened. Besides the adverse conditions the persistence paid up, rewarded by some sun beams.
O aquecimento global traz-nos, cada vez mais, as inconveniências das frequentes tempestades atípicas para a época e região. Este foi um registo do rasto deixado pela tempestade Félix na Praia de Santa Rita, onde felizmente não causou danos. No meio de um vendaval e chuva surge um momento de paz.
Apesar das condições adversas valeu a persistência, recompensada por uns raios de sol.
Moments like these turn a common landscape into a masterpiece. Those are rare and fleeting, but when these amazing conditions meet it is a great pleasure to be able to enjoy them and to photograph.
São momentos como este que tornam uma paisagem habitual numa obra de arte. São raros e fugazes, mas, quando estas impressionantes condições se reúnem é um grande prazer poder apreciá-las e registá-las.
The New Year’s Eve celebrations marked by the typical fireworks at the seaside. This night, at Porto Novo beach, so as in many other beaches of Torres Vedras, thousands of people get together to celebrate the last night of the year and to welcome the new year.
Festejos de final de ano marcados pelo recorrente fogo-de-artifício à beira mar. Nesta noite, na Praia de Porto Novo, tal como em muitas outras praias do concelho de Torres Vedras, milhares de pessoas concentram-se para apreciar e festejar a última noite do ano e a vinda do novo.
Lately, the rough sea prevails for weeks turning the beach into a compact and washed sand. The white foam contrasts with the dark colour of the sand.
Nos últimos tempos, a forte agitação marítima prolongou-se por várias semanas tornando a praia num areal compactado e lavado. A espuma na rebentação das ondas contrasta com a cor da areia escurecida.
The winter solstice with the shortest day and the longest night of the year. It also marks the sunset in the southernmost point, cycles that are repeated annually and of great importance for the Humankind.
O Solstício de Inverno com o dia mais curto e a noite mais longa do ano. Marca também o pôr-do-sol mais a Sul, ciclos que se repetem anualmente e de grande importância para a humanidade.
It’s a privilege to live nearby and witness rare conditions for a winter day.
O privilégio de estar próximo e presenciar condições raras para um dia de inverno.
