As terras altas do Soajo não são lugar onde haja gente a morar. São, para além de garranos e lobos, o território das cachenas. Soajo, Portugal 🇵🇹, Setembro 2021 #pnpgerês #portugal photos.joaoalmeidaphotography.com/image/I00…

Last year when the lock-down ended I went away from the city for a while, to my family’s small village at Beira Baixa. In those late May days the summer was starting to show himself between the mountains that surround my house, I ended up going back and forth a lot that summer, between the city and that small getaway place. Now I’m revisiting that lazy summer, more on this in my blog. Beira Baixa, Portugal 🇵🇹, May 2020 #beirabaixa #portugal

In the year that this pandemic has completed here in Portugal this was the closest I got from traveling. Excluding the weeks spent in my little getaway in Central Portugal (more on that soon) a lot of my world has been the streets around my house, specially in times like now with a tighter lockdown. The airport happens to be in walking distance from my house, one of the places I end up passing in walks around home, right I think I know all the streets and alleys nearby, and it’s getting more and more complicated to get creative to find new places… Lisbon, Portugal 🇵🇹, August 2020 #street #lisbon #portugal
The sun as set, and with it the little warmth that it can provide to a cold winter day; slowly people start moving inside, where a hot soup awaits, and the fire will eventually consume everything until it becomes a small pile of ash.

In all the more traditional Carnival festivities in Portugal, and many of the Winter Solstice ones that take place a few weeks earlier, the day ends with everyone surrounding a large fire (either a simple bonfire or even a figure being burned). Its meaning is simple and powerful: the burning of all the bad things enclosed in it, with added dimension from Christianity that a solemn period of moderation and discipline is around the corner.Vila Boa, Trás-Os-Montes, Portugal 🇵🇹, February 2020 #portugal #trasosmontes #entrudo #shrovetide photos.joaoalmeidaphotography.com/image/I00…
Loose branches, old roots and all the burning stuff that could be found forms the big pile of wood that remains the whole day carnival day in a small plateau, overlooking the church and the houses of the small village, as well as the rolling hills nearby. Not sure if it’s on purpose or a coincidence… It’s at the place where all will come to an end, meant to be lit around dusk, as soon as the chaotic procession of masked men arrives.

A test of courage, a old cleansing ritual, probably both but also a celebration of a village’s identity and some plain old fun. Vila Boa, Trás-Os-Montes, Portugal 🇵🇹, March 2019 #portugal #trasosmontes #entrudo #shrovetide
