He was a talented potter who managed to make true an old dream: the creation of a Village-Museum with his own work, with the help of his wife Helena. He started the construction in 1954 and it was open for visits in the early 1960's. It can be visited any day of the year, for free - a fascinating experience for kids and adults at Sobreiro, Mafra.

Seen at Tavira railway station. It was adapted to circulate on rails (the steering wheel is now irrelevant) and I think it will never return to road use.

River Tagus, Cacilhas lighthouse, full moon and a cruise ship departing from Lisbon. This is a view from Cacilhas (Almada riverside). The 1886 lighthouse is no longer active. In 1978 it became needless and in 1983 it was taken and reassembled at Serreta Point (Terceira Island, Azores). It served between 1986 and 2004, when it was replaced by automatic light. Claimed as Almada heritage, it returned to Cacilhas and was reinstalled in 2009 a few dozen metres from its primitive location.

Garden eels.

In Lisbon Oceanarium. These eels live in the bottom of the sea and feed on plankton. They often can be seen in groups, partially outstanding from the sand, where they hide when they feel threatened, emerging cautiously in a different part of the sand bottom.

Viewed from Albarregas Roman Bridge. The railway bridge can be seen in the background. Mérida has two Roman Bridges: the other stands across River Guadiana and is much longer: Albarregas is a tributary of Guadiana and a much narrower river.

Built between 68 and 54 BC, this temple is located at Avenida de Extremadura, Mérida. In the 17th century a small chapel was built right behind, using the Temple of Mars as façade. The chapel is dedicated to Saint Eulalia (the patron saint of Mérida), whose basilica can be seen right behind.
