Gulbenkian II: stay

Jardim da Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, Lisboa.

Gulbenkian I: escape

Jardim da Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, Lisboa. A perfect paradise in the middle of the city for slowing down. A lot of memories of afternoons spent in the grass, when life was less complicated.

After the storm

This is Postcards from Portugal's 100th post. Thank you for visiting!

Cherry blossoms and other pretty details, shot on a hot day in April last year, in Manteigas, Parque Natural da Serra da Estrela.

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.
After the Storm, Mumford and Sons

Misty Mountain Hop

To celebrate summer, just a bit of snow. Serra da Estrela, 1993m high, almost no snow left in April last year.

So I'm packing my bags for the Misty Mountains

Where the spirits go now, over the hills where the spirits fly.
