PICTURE THIS: FAVOURITE PHOTOS OF 2013

The  photos below (all taken in Portugal) are some of my favourites, though I can't justify by words why they are... It's always easier to explain why we don't like than why we like, isn't it?

PICTURE THIS: PEOPLE

At the end of the day (Beach in the south of Portugal) photo taken 2 weeks ago

Bar waitress having a quick break (Lisbon)

Blue-collar workers (Lisbon)

PICTURE THIS: CURVES

Hand-made Sieves

You see curves, don't you?

Bikes have curves and ride on roads and paths that sometimes are full of curves, either these are tight or not

PICTURE THIS: NATURAL OR URBAN DECAY

PICTURE THIS: HOLIDAY PARTY TIME

Table laid for a Christmas Eve dinner

Candlestick decorated

Every Christmas I make a different wreath.

The pattern of a pine cone is intriguing to me...

Ever changing patterns

Cute patterns

PICTURE THIS: MEMORIES OF SUMMER

These are some of my memories of last summer. All photos were taken in Portugal
At a Renaissance Fair held near Lisbon
Living in the city, I have not opportunity to capture a dragonfly 
I was told that these goats are not very common. Not sure this is true...
I have no idea how this is called...
A weekend spent in the south of Portugal


It was so hot that the shopping area showed 'shadings' similarly to those ones we can see when we walk through souks. 

PICTURE THIS : AT A DISTANCE

While waiting for my mate hitting his golf ball, I took a shot at a distance from me (Algarve, in the south of Portugal)

PICTURE THIS: MANY AND/OR FEW

Many stitches, many hours of  needlework, many years old, few wrinkles

Many sculptures that are seen at the garden of a newly opened hotel near Lisbon. Each and every sculpture represents a Portuguese novel writer or poet.

Few people, few cars, many windows, many flowers...
