Classics at their best!

Let's kick-off this year reminding ourselves of these good old friends that never tend to fail.

A solidão não é forçosamente negativa, pelo contrário, até me parece um privilégio. Talvez a minha solidão seja excessiva, mas eu detestei sempre as coisas mundanas. Estar com as pessoas apenas para gastar as horas é-me insuportável. 

Eugénio de Andrade

Oh, silent nights...

One of these nights, when I stepped out house for one my night walks, I couldn't resist but taking my camera with me. Winter nights can be as irresistible as the warm Summer nights 'alfresco', but colder!

There was no single soul around, as usual, all the silent this village can be and an incredible mantle of fog was coming down enlightened by these orange-ish lamps, all contributing to a scenical ensemble.

It's so refreshing (literally!) and so good for the soul. Give me all the work during the day, all the stress you want, as long as I can come home for this I'll always handle everything.

Easier said than done

Hapiness, not in another place but in this place... not for another hour but for this hour.

2015, the 1st

... I started mine with the most delicious lunch and the most delicious Apfelstrudel (apple strudel).

Still too many goals from the past to be accomplished, so that's my only wish for 2015 - work harder for them and simplify life in general.

Have a good one.

Stuttgart.

Holidays postcard

This is really the first photo I want to put here from my most recent holidays in Germany.

I was so excited to come home and have decent time to look at this photo... I loved it immediately. Even now I'm wondering why. I guess it's because the night before I took it, almost ready to fall asleep but doing some zapping with the german tv, I catched the Schindler's List movie right in the moment of the girl in red and the same feeling of the first time I watched it just hit me...

Somewhere between Stuttgart and Munich (which we failed to reach due to the snow!).

Lake cottage

Let us immerge in a not-just-another lake cottage, shall we? I dare you. Too much beauty in one single space...

"This beautiful 1940s cottage belongs to famous hair guru John Frieda. The cottage has been designed by decorator Sharon Simonaire who transformed it in a light-filled retreat that’s as comfortable as it is sophisticated."

Someone can be madly in love with you and still not be ready. They can love you in a way you have never been loved and still not join you on the bridge. And whatever their reasons you must leave. Because you never ever have to inspire anyone to meet you on the bridge. You never ever have to convince someone to do the work to be ready. There is more extraordinary love, more love that you have never seen, out here in this wide and wild universe. And there is the love that will be ready.

Does this make sense for you too?

You have to be the kind of person who can make the best out of a Tuesday.

You know those people who live for the weekends? They’re wishing their life away. You have to find something worth living for or else you’ll look back and realize you’ve wasted your life away.
