walking back to the parking lot where we parked our car, although the family was on ‘going home’ mode, I couldn’t help but notice and stop gob-smacked at this building in the center of Porto (Portugal). / Canon 350D / / check out my calendar facades of the world /

“Quem vem e atravessa o rio, / junto à Serra do Pilar, / vê um velho casario / que se estende até ao mar. / / Quem te vê ao vir da Ponte / és cascata sanjoanina / erigida sobre um monte, / no meio da neblina, / por ruelas e calçadas, / da Ribeira até à Foz, / por pedras sujas e gastas / e lampiões tristes e sós. / / Esse teu ar grave e sério / dum rosto de cantaria / que nos oculta o mistério / dessa luz bela e sombria. / / Ver-te assim abandonado / nesse timbre pardacento, / nesse teu jeito fechado / de quem mói um sentimento… / e é sempre a primeira vez, / em cada regresso a casa, / rever-te nessa altivez / de milhafre ferido na asa.“ Porto Sentido – Carlos Tê

Featured in the #12 Great Features group. Cemitério do Prado do Repouso in Porto, Portugal For centuries, burials in Portugal were usually made inside the churches. But a complex conjugation of facts and ideologies condemned this dangerous habit: after many decades of failed intentions, Portuguese public cemeteries were officially created, in 1835. Therefore, inhumations inside the churches became prohibited. However, it took many years until this law was fully accomplished: popular resistance to outer cemeteries remained very strong. Oporto was not an exception. Nevertheless, Oporto has now several kinds of cemeteries: two public municipal cemeteries, a handful of public parochial cemeteries, eight private catholic cemeteries (six of it inside the municipal cemeteries), one private protestant cemetery (known as the British Cemetery) and a private catholic cemetery in catacombs (closed to burials more than a century ago). This picture I made on The Prado do Repouso Cemetery. / This was the first public cemetery in Oporto. It was established in 1839, inside a bishop’s farm. Curiously, for some years this cemetery stood partially as a farm, because Oporto citizens preferred private cemeteries. Only in the 1850s building of tombs became a regular practice here. Nowadays, the Prado do Repouso (which means “meadow of rest”) is one of the most important Portuguese cemetery, in terms of history and architecture. Canon EOS 40D

“A room with a view” was featured in the groups Iberia and Portugal This building is next to and has a view on the River Douro, Oporto, Portugal. Such placement would be worth a fortune in some other countries, but here most houses on the riverside seem to be almost falling apart and inhabited by the poor, or at least not the wealthiest. (this is not based on “facts” but on my impressions). The title was inspired by E.M. Forster’s novel thus titled and the movie based on it. Canon PowerShot SX1 IS, 1/200 s, f/4, ISO 80

Porto (Portuguese pron. IPA: [ˈpoɾtu]), also Oporto in English, is Portugal’s second city and capital of the Norte NUTS II region. The city is located in the estuary of the Douro river in northern Portugal. The largest city in the region, Porto is considered the economic and cultural heart of the entire region. The city, which had an estimated population of about 220,000 (est.2008), lies at the centre of the political Greater Metropolitan Area of Porto, with a population of slightly more than 1.7 million (est. 2008), and is the main agglomeration of northern Portugal. The city of Porto comprises 15 civil parishes. The historic centre of Porto was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996. In 2001, Porto shared the designation European Culture Capital with Rotterdam. In the scope of these events, the construction of the major concert hall space Casa da Música, designed by the Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, was initiated and finished in 2005. In August 1820, Porto rebelled against the English presence, resulting in a civil war in Portugal. In 1822, a liberal constitution was accepted, partly through the efforts of the liberal assembly of Porto (Junta do Porto). When Miguel of Portugal took the Portuguese throne in 1828, he rejected this constitution and reigned as an absolutist monarch. Porto rebelled again and had to undergo a siege of eighteen months between 1832 and 1833 by the Portuguese army. After the abdication of king Miguel the liberal constitution was re-established.
