Oporto brave young people jump from bridge to river!

The challenge from young generation.

Porto brave young people jump from the bridge!
   
 Evry summer time from D Luiz I brigde, young people jump to the river,
In a a several decades tradition for all resident people from the two borders of
the Douro river.They all belong to fisherman and ancient dockers families.
They live on the historic old houses for generations.This challenge its became
 a social issue,because  after the first jump,kids get  from the others(include adults) respect.
Even if they  are so litle as twelve years old!
Its a dangerous jump,because sometimes the river take them away so fast that  is
Impressionant,but they know and jump nears the border ; also have some
 family members with a litle boat to help them if the are in danger.Them also
old jumpers,but connected for all life to ther river.
In the sequence of shots is a young girl with no more than twelve years old,
and i was on the place where they jump,must have a hell of courage!

Thanks for your visit and simpaty!

Lets take a walk on Provence(France) fields and rural places..

Its summer time ,and the motorway A8 from Aix -en- Provence to Nice is full of turists who are driving direction to the mediterranean coast (Cannes,Nice,Menton,Monaco,Toulon,Antibes,St Tropez ).
Its weekend and i stay in the first station service from this motorway,name Aire the Rousset.
Its almost impossible with the hot weather to walk around,so i leave the place on the morning and
in the  afternoon.The low light increase the colors and made this places so magic,the farms and the agricultural places made the rest,with the mountain as background.Sometimes when we travel on
motorways without kouwing we are so near of fabulous places,and need so mutch as an hour to
take wonderful shots.I hope you like his images and if you are around ,why not stop and take a look !

Thanks all for your visit and simpaty

FROM ITALY WITH LOVE.

BOM DIA

Durante os dois ultimos anos ,Italia tem sido o pais mais visitado

nas minhas viagens de trabalho.Para mim é um pais fascinante,não

só pela história e arte que podemos encontrar em  cidades por 

todo o pais,mas pelas paisagens rurais e locais reconditos nas 

montanhas,onde apesar das dificuldades naturais,as populações

se fixaram e construiram aldeias que são autenticas obras de arte

para o viajante.De norte a sul , a paisagem vai-se diversificando,

assim como a luz e as tonalidades,das montanhas e mar da Liguria,ás

paisagens rurais e de tom ocre de Marche,ás montanhas nevadas

de Abruzzo.Limitado como estou na disponibilidade de ficar muito

tempo no mesmo lugar,estas imagens são as possiveis.Espero que

gostem e partilhem.

Muito obrigado

GOOD DAY

In the last two years,Italy was the most visited country in my

driver trips.For me is amazing country,not only the historic and 

art that we can find at cities all over the country,but also amazing 

are the mountains,the rural landscapes,and the villages in top

of mountains ,even the natural dificult issue,they fixed along

years and generations,and build auntentic art views.From the

north to the south landscape is getting diferent,like the tones

and light.From mountains and sea of Liguria,to the rural landscape

from Marche,to the mountains from Abruzzo.As limitate by time

this are the best pictures i can.So hope you like and share.

Thanks
