Almada Velha - A Monochrome view


Fuji X100f

Once in a while, I have to take a "photographic" walk with one of the most beautiful photo cameras in the market, the Fujifilm X100f.

I Decided to go for this walk in one of the oldest suburbs of Almada, called Almada Velha (Old Almada) dating back to 1192 from the Arab Conquest.

This walk was done last December while I was on my yearly Holiday for Christmas.

This suburb has to have one of the nicest views of Lisbon, especially at night. It is simply gorgeous.

This walk I decided to use the ACROS settings of FUJI as I think it is a great film simulation for such an old historic neighbourhood.


Enjoy the Photos

Lisbon's South Margin


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.

Enjoy the Photos
