Lisbon Zoo - 15th of March 2008
They live in "our world" and yet they still have the majestic attitude of a wild animal - they know their prey, when to fight, when to rest. I wondered how happy they are living like this - I think in the end it is a matter of fate - long life but less freedom. I felt humbled, amazed, happy from seeing their beauty, delicacy, power and behaviors.
I have found out that seals are monogamous for their whole life, but sea-lions are not, I was lucky to see them from above, from a cable car that crossed the whole park, I listened to some commercial not so nice music but admired how nicely dolphins play and their very special relationship to men. I felt like Alice in Wonderland.
And then I imagined their personalities - how bold, nervous, angry, shy they could be but couldn't imagine vanity and useless fights with no purpose and I think this could be one of the reasons for which I love them. And then I have this personal obsession that every time I go to the zoo, lions get to gaze directly into my eyes - this is what they do, yes :-)

Lovely Lisbon Saturday.

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.
