San Diego - California

Need some more time

All my business trips are very crammed and intense. I definitely need to plan better in the future to have some more time to get to know the cities I go to.

Back in June, I went to San Diego, California for another conference, this time for cisco.

As always it is always intense conferences with lots of back to back meetings, presentations, networking, etc....

Then, I need to take a break and visit the city, and.... no time left.

This time I took 3 hours and walked around downtown San Diego with my Fuji x100f to take some photos.

I quite enjoyed San Diego, but the amount oh homeless people and some "crazy" dudes, is quite overwhelming.

Please enjoy the photos

Houston - We have no problem

1 Day in Houston

Another business trip, this time to Houston, Texas.

Had to take some time from my business trip to walk some streets of Houston with my Fuji X100f.

It is as everybody says. A Texan city with massive tall buildings, well everything is big in this city, including the vehicles that people drive around this town.

This visit was back in March this year where the weather was quite hot.

Lisbon by Night

Night Photography

One of my favourite things to do in photography is to do night photography. For me, it is a relaxed way to show the world the scene we are seeing at the same time it feels that time stops or is at least slower.

This time I went to the northern part of Lisbon called Expo or Parque das nacoes, for a couple of photos and took my family with as they wanted to walk with me. This, once again, on a visit home from a business trip.

Trafaria and Cacilhas - Enormous potential

Every time I come home (remember I work and live in Maputo, Mozambique) I always take some time to do photo walks and enjoy the local scenery.

This time I decided to visit two places of which have enormous potential to be built up into beautiful touristic keeping at the same time the historic value they both have.

First I went to Trafaria, a local village that feels like it stopped in time with little or none development. This time I saw some rehabilitation to some roads and its "beach"front.

It was a quick walk as I wanted to go to Cacilhas to see how it is doing.

A Morning at the Kruger National Park

The advantage of Living in Maputo, Mozambique is that we are about 100km from one of Kruger National park's gates, this case Crocodile Bridge Gate. 

I do this quite often, at least once a month as I have the yearly pass which costs about 550ZAR (for South African citizens), which for me on my third visit, I have my Return on Investment.

So my plan is always to go in at Crocodile Bridge, all the way to Skukuza and then return and leave at the Malelane Gate. All this takes about 5-6 hours relaxed drive. What I do next, is stop at the SuperSpar Malelane, do some quick shopping and return to Maputo. For me this drive is therapeutic and I make some quite nice photos.

Boston - Interesting Surprise

My first time in Boston, unfortunately en-route to San Diego. I had a couple of hours transit to San Diego, So I decided to visit for the first time Boston. Took a Taxi and, with my Fuji X100f, when on a quick walk around the main centre to see and know Boston. 

What an Interesting city, really. Feels Like a European city, the vibe, culture, people, architecture, etc...

Pity I had a very little time. But I did enjoy this quick walk.

I really have to come back for a couple of days to know better this lovely city.

Enjoy the Photos.
