Atardeceres no Gaiás: "La Bien Querida"

Yesterday afternoon/night we visited Santiago de Compostela. We went to the “City of Culture” (Cidade da Cultura). We never visited the place before and I must say that once you drive up the mountain and on top of it seeing those huge constructions and such open space, the feeling is surprising and unexpected at the least.  We cant really say weather we like it or not, but I tend to think that we do. There´s still so much to built and to finish, it´s like only one third of it once it´s all finished.  It´s difficult not to questionize the purpose and content of all this…I think it’s to big in dimensions and out of proportion.

The real motive of our visit, rather that visiting this controversial project, was to attend an acoustic concert of “La Bien Querida” closing the concerts of “Aterdeceres no Gaiás”, a really good initiative to listen to free open-air-summer-sunset-concerts (jazz, classic, electronic dj-sessions or even poems.)

We enjoyed the concert and the environment very much, despite the intense cold. We hope that during autumn and winter the activities at the “Cidade da Cultura” will continue and hopefully we can enjoy the environment as well.  

Diana Instant Back

These are same pictures taken with the Diana Lomography Camera with an instant back adapter for instant pictures. Since a while ago we must admit that we have an addiction for these kind of photography. We also love Polaroids and on our last trip to NY a few months ago we bought a real vintage Polaroid Camera at Impossible Project.  It is also mucho more difficult to get a good picture with Polaroid. The film isn’t very precise and has fails. The bad thing of the Diana is that the film used is from Fujifilm and is very small though but still very cool!

The bad thing about all this is the price! The film and this type of photography is an expensive hobby but we will try to continue it. 

Back from holidays

First of all I would like to apologize for leaving my blog with no update these last weeks. The reason is that Vic has had a change in his job and something like this always “destabilizes” the house routine. Anyway the change has been positive and a step ahead in his professional career and very happy for it all. Little by little we are adapting to this new situation and get back to posting on my blog.

Apart from this, last week we were on holidays (needed and well deserved). We spent a long weekend in Prague in the Czech Republic. Here are some photos of our trip. We came back totally in love with this city, without a doubt one of the most beautiful cities we have been to. 

We also had some time back home to do some home-improvement, have lots of dinners with friends, got to the movies…we had an amazing time! (we always get back more tired from our holidays than before having them).

I hope that you´ll enjoy the beauty of Prague throughout these photos and I say goodbye for know, with a promise to get back to this blogs ´normal activity.
