🚶♂️ It was as a joy walking through the streets of Lisbon early this morning as the world woke up. Few people around. A new day starting.

An old church near to Comporta, Portugal.

We watched The Deliquents last night on Apple TV. A three hour Argentinian film about a bank employee who steals from his bank and enrolls the help of a fellow employee in his plans. The film explores the narrow thinking of the two men and how they handle the unfolding situations that they create.
I found it compelling enough to watch it all, but am unsure where to place it? One reviewer said that he felt that it would become a cult classic. An art film is another category that I would place it in. Perhaps watch it if you are interested in budding cult classics, or are simply curious? 🍿

Monday April 29, 2024 Newsletter letter

Monday April 29, 2024 Dear Friends, I have an early start tomorrow (today), driving to just west of Lisbon, and so I’m writing this letter late at night. This first week in Portugal has seen the temperatures drop from the high 20°C when I arrived, to topping out now in the high teens. Though the wind has been cold, the sun has been shining for which I am grateful. There is a quality to the light here that we do not get in Hawaii.

The first thirty seconds of the fireworks display last Wednesday night at midnight, in celebration of the Carnation Revolution here in Portugal. With the holiday weekend coming to an end, I wanted to post as much of this as I could. There was another six minutes of the display after this.
The Story Behind the Photograph: The Details

Close up of a beach. This is a short story. As I go back through the slides of my travels, I am interested in what caught my eye. What I was seeing while I was on the road. One way I look at this is what my heart was drawn to, what interested me, what moved me. This slide could be from anywhere, at least from any beach in the world.
I just came from a supermarket. I was looking at all the seafood that was available. Not just the fresh catches, but also the frozen food. Large containers full of prawns of all sizes. Containers full of shell fish. Containers full of parts of other sea animals. I found it really quite something to behold. What a rich variety of species live in our oceans.
I was looking at this display in a fairly average sized supermarket in a small town. My mind then started extrapolating that quantity of sea food in food stores across the world. How does the natural world keep up with that kind of demand? I guess that current environmental measurements suggest that it isn’t, or at best is struggling.
