saudade

Saudade (European Portuguese: [sɐwˈðaðɨ]) is a unique Galician-Portuguese word that has no immediate translation in English. Saudade describes a deep emotional state of nostalgic longing for an absent something or someone that one loves. It often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might never return. It's related to the feelings of longing, yearning. (Wikipedia)

 

This is my last upload of the 2007 Lisbon trip, taken out of the plane somewhere over the Iberian peninsula with sunset and dirty windows acting as bokeh dots :P (view on black)

 

I have a lot planned for the upcoming days in Lisbon, photographically speaking. I will take my new Nikon d90 with me with two new lenses, my sister's Minolta x700 with a normal and an expired film and the Diana Mini (which I have used in Istria and Venice - photos will be up in the future). Planning too much I guess but I am starting to take this quite seriously ;)
