It was time to go home. We arrived in Lisbon with plenty of time before the train was due, driving over the famous ponte 25 de Abril. I even had an opportunity for a little #urbanphotography at the Estação Oriente to grab a quick smartphone photo of a view I have had in mind forContinue reading “Ferias, dia 40. The holiday is over (and a little #urbanphotography), 2 September 2022”

Cast ashore, 31 August 2022
While I was swimming in the warm water, about 10m away this amazing creature was being washed up onto the beach. We thought it was a dead fish next to a plastic bag at first, but closer inspection showed it to be a beautiful Portuguese Man o’War. A few times a wave caught the creatureContinue reading “Cast ashore, 31 August 2022”
An afternoon on the beach, 28 August 2022
After a lovely time on the beach, the day gave way to a spectacular sunset.
An ominous sign on the horizon, 27 August 2022
After a lovely start to the day, late in the afternoon the clouds rolled in and it turned cold. We decided to call it a day, and headed home. Typically, about two minutes before we arrived at our holiday flat the skies cleared again.
Abstract coffees, 24 August 2022
I haven’t done one of these for a while, but the barista in the café at the campsite really did himself proud with our galões. http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2022/08/abstract-coffees-24-august-2022.html

Appearing in a clear blue sky, 22 August 2022
We’ve been blessed with clear skies for much of our holiday. Today the first wispy clouds appeared in an otherwise cloudless sky. http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2022/08/cloudscapes-22-august-2022.html
A few random images of the beach, 10 August 2022
We’ve been busy these past few days. After all, those tans won’t create themselves. It takes effort. Anyhow, here are a few random images from the past few days. http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2022/08/a-few-random-images-of-beach-09-august.html
A view of the beach, 27 July 2022
The idea was to take the Olympus Pen mirrorless and try some image stacking on the beach. Sadly, it was really windy again, so here are a few images of a choppy sea. http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2022/07/a-view-of-beach-27-july-2022.html
Liminal space on the beach, 26 July 2022
“A liminal space is the time between the ‘what was’ and the ‘next.’ It is a place of transition …” Today I thought I would explore liminal spaces, specifically that moment between a sandy beach and the moment immediately preceding the next wave coming in. I came across a couple of objects that had beenContinue reading “Liminal space on the beach, 26 July 2022”
Ferias 2021: até ja, praia (8 September 2021)
It was a glorious start to our last day on the beach. The sun rose into a clear blue sky and we were excited at the prospect of one final day in the sun before our return to normality. Although we went to the beach, on our arrival it started to rain so we neverContinue reading “Ferias 2021: até ja, praia (8 September 2021)”
Ferias 2021: our daily view of the beach, 6 September 2021
After a glorious start, the day clouded over late afternoon. We did not get the wonderful sunsets we are used to. http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2021/09/ferias-2021-our-daily-view-of-beach-6.html
Ferias 2021: our daily view of the beach, 5 September 2021

Another sunny day at the beach. http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2021/09/ferias-2021-our-daily-view-of-beach-4.html
Ferias 2021: our daily view of the beach, 3 September 2021
No views of the sea today. Why not, you ask. Well, thought you already had too much of a good thing. So today we’re concentrating on the main character of our beach, the cliffs. http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2021/09/ferias-2021-our-daily-view-of-beach-3.html
Cast ashore, 2 September 2021
A choppy sea brought seaweed and other debris onto the beach. http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2021/09/cast-ashore-2-september-2021.html
Ferias 2021: our daily view of the beach, 2 September 2021
The sun was out, the sky was blue, and the water was warm. The sea was a little too ‘choppy’ to swim properly, though. http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2021/09/ferias-2021-our-daily-view-of-beach-2.html
Ferias 2021: Our daily view of the beach, 1 September 2021
It was another foggy start, but when the mist cleared, the beach was heavenly. http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2021/09/ferias-2021-our-daily-view-of-beach-1.html
Ferias 2021: Our daily view of the beach, 31 August 2021
On the whole it was a lovely day, with warm water and blue skies. Later though the clouds drew in leaving an overcast sunset that ended on a glorious note. http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2021/09/ferias-2021-our-daily-view-of-beach-31.html
Ferias 2021: Our daily view of the beach, 30 August 2021
Today was just … different. We headed for the beach just before noon on a lovely sunny day. There was no traffic at all on the walk to the beach, and ahead us was a clear blue sky. However, as we drew near the beach it became clear that there was a haze over theContinue reading “Ferias 2021: Our daily view of the beach, 30 August 2021”
