A vertical photo print taken in the town of Cascais, along the south coast of Portugal. In the distance, a small white boat sails by over the deep blue atlantic ocean.
The photo was taken from a small square with small houses in traditional Portuguese architecture on both sides. From the white wall is a beautiful distant view of the sea and the rest of the coast.
The square is full of plants and flowers of all colors. In this picture you can just see the pink of the ivy.
While walking through the streets of this beautiful village, I immediately noticed the combination of warm colors. Blue, green, white, pink. A beautiful and soothing combination.
The composite also appealed to me immediately. I found it such a beautiful contrast that I (seem to) walk at the same pace as the sailing ship passes by. Each living their own day, feeling their own way, planning their own plan, walking at their own pace and yet moving in the same direction. It feels like with this photo I have secretly captured an anonymous moment of another. A moment when we were both walking under the warm Portuguese sun, enjoying our life, the peace, the space, the freedom.
