My Alentejo

I intended to post a video now and my choice fall in the beautiful documentary broadcasted by SIC (Portuguese TV broadcaster…but obviously a Natural World documentary offered by BBC) about the biodiversity existing not only in my country but specifically in my region in opposition with another video, this one broadcasted by TVI (another Portuguese TV broadcaster) where words like corrupt are placed in the same sentence as the name of the prime minister from the country where I live... Back to the beauty, the so called ‘montado’ is described so beautifully in the documentary and is presented all his charm, environmental importance and magnificent splendor that actually surprised me seen this way. I just watched it here in the Internet and it is my intention to share it with you as I am dazzled. The title is Creatures of the Cork Forest and also presents a discussion about the natural corks stoppers placed in wine bottles being substituted by an artificial seal. After this… I definitely vote for natural corks. I left you with an ancestral Portuguese proverb about the importance of the years in this beautiful scenario which is important to preserve:
"Vinhas das minhas,
Olivais dos meus pais,
E montados dos meus antepassados…"

My Beautiful Feelings

Today I felt love during the day and thought how beautiful it can be but I will get through this weird moment...

My Culturgest Thursday Night

Walking towards the main door to enjoy John Taylor Trio Jazz concert...

My Lisbon civil construction Art

Ok, it is not mine...and probably the photo does not help but you can just walk from Cais do Sodre to Bairro and see for yourselves...

This one is easy. This election is interesting, inspiring, and important to your mind spirit, to your future. Only a small percentage should respect Portugal because my country is only a small percentage of this global election. VOTE EARTH.

My Night Train to Lisbon by Pascal Mercier

This is just a book I am reading about a Swiss professor, expert in old and classical languages, whose nickname is Mundus and suddenly in his life, changing all his habits and routines always followed mindfully through his thick glasses, he meets a strange Portuguese woman who barely speaks to him but the few is enough to feel the melodic sound in Portuguese words which echoes in his ears for more time than in reality becoming impassioned. From this short contact and after having touch with a Portuguese book written by Amadeu Inácio de Almeida Prado with absolute no logical reason he starts a quest trying to find this author leaving past behind all his current, defined and comfortable common life. His seek brings him obviously to Lisbon, the capital and largest city in Portugal and as he walks in Lisbon streets some peculiar places are described and as I read I confess… ‘Cheira bem, cheira a Lisboa’ is in the air…
