old and new

Some of 2011's favourites pictures.

It has been a fast and a short year;
the seasons and the world have been sometimes confusing me;
work and studying have taken lots of hours, often accompanied by doubts and questions;
there have been short but nice travels;
we have found a new fantastic home,
in a neighbourhood that feels good and different,
and with a kitchen full of light;
I have met new friends and old ones;
my love for picnics on the beach and on living room floor has been growing;
and there have been quiet moments and room for new thoughts and dreams and possibilities.

I'm thankful for love, for time and inspiration, for sharing and for learning from others.

Happy new year to all of you, see you soon!

my neighbourhood

Some of the many photos taken on walks through my new neighbourhood in the last months.

I don't get tired of the things I see, and the light has been changing so much during these last weeks.
Buildings and sites do actually change, too, because they continue to tear buildings down and build new ones.

Luckily, because of the economical problems, they have slowed down a lot. Many "emptied" plots remain empty.

I can't imagine how it would have been to see all the millions of changes this area went through during the last years.

They have destroyed so much. But still, for me right now it's the best this city has.


PS: a pretty advent calendar.
