Ponte 25 de Abril - 1st of March 2008

It was a hard choice to choose among the tens of photos I took on a lovely Saturday morning in Lisbon. I get to see surprisingly beautiful seascapes from my window, I have literally craved to get to take pictures on a foggy morning and I had this luck by chance (thank you:-)) last week - can you imagine a sunny foggy morning? can you see the boats passing by on the river, can you see me jumping up and down with happiness that I get to see such beautiful moments? I hope you like my selection and I promise to share these moments with you every time I get the chance.

Mãe d´Água das Amoreiras - 1st of March

There are several Water Museums in Lisbon-as far as I know three. This one, Mãe d´Água das Amoreiras, finished in 1834, reopened on the 1st of March 2008 - free entrance on that day (lucky me), extremely beautiful view, magnifiscent sunset light, many tunnels, a stage on water and nice sound.

Render Solene da Guarda ao Palácio de Belém - 17 February 2008

Render Solene da Guarda ao Palácio de Belém - the parade at the Presidential Palace takes place once a month (the 3rd Sunday of each month, at 11am). I got to see it by chance as I was going to the see the exhibition organized at Palacio da Ajuda - the Hermitage Collections - it was a rainy day and everybody had to stay in line for more than expected. The parade in itself is very nice and the music is very dynamic and beautiful - so if you get there by chance, don't miss it. Don't forget to look a the horses - they have their manes extremely beautifuly braided.

Chapitô and around...
