Flood


Photo taken by myself. Along the river Thames, there are several locks. Forty five, to be more precise. In Oxford, there is one. It's a very popular destination, particularly during the summer. Unfortunately, during the Winter, as you can see, the risk of flood is quite high.


Photo taken by myself. The boat houses are very popular in this region. I wonder how they can cope with the cold and humidity...

New city, New country, New job... a New Life

During the last 4 years, my life changed in a very dramatic way. I'm no longer living in Porto, Portugal. I'm living in the United Kingdom, in the beautiful city of Oxford. I have to confess that initially, my first instinct was to change the Blog's name. However, my photos, my comments, will always be the product of someone raised in Porto. Someone who is deeply proud of the his hometown, of his country, of his ancestors and history. I will never be able to think, to see or to feel the way an englishman do. I'm portuguese. I feel things in different way. Not better, just different.
