La commune d'Evenos connue sous le nom de "Nèbre" en provençal est composée de trois hameaux atypiques à caractères différents : Sainte Anne d'Evenos, Le Broussan, Nèbre.
Le village d'Evenos se situe sur un vieux nid d'aigles fait de roches basaltiques, traduisant un trés ancien volcan, d'ou l'étymologie de son nom "Nèbre" vient de "Ebro" (brûler, allumer , le noir). La roche basaltique a servi à la construction du village et des routes. Cette table basaltique s'étend des rochers de l'Aigle jusqu'au Cap Nègre à Six Fours Les Plages.
Même en étant avertie de ce qui vous attend, la découverte d'Evenos, Le Vieux Village, provoque un choc. Cette cité médiévale comprenant le château seigneurial et le village initial édifié à 362 mètres d'altitude tient du mirage et offre une vue panoramique à 180° de la Rade de Toulon jusqu'à la Ciotat et à nos pieds la profonde faille des Gorges d'Ollioules.
L'Eglise Saint Martin, Le Chateau féodal, ses murailles en pierres d'époque taillées et la proue du donjon sur laquelle s'accrochent encore quelques maisons, cherche désespèrement sa route vers le futur, trainant hors du temps son histoire, le Vieil Evenos vous attend !
The town of Evenos known as "Nèbre" in Provençal is composed of three atypical hamlets with different characters: St. Anne of Evenos, Broussan, Nèbre.
The village of Evenos is located on an old eagle's nest made of basaltic rocks, translating a very old volcano, hence the etymology of its name "Nèbre" comes from "Ebro" (burn, light, black) . Basalt rock was used to build the village and roads. This basaltic table stretches from the rocks of the Eagle to Cape Negro at Six Fours Les Plages.
Even being aware of what awaits you, the discovery of Evenos, The Old Village, causes a shock. This medieval town including the seigniorial castle and the original village built at 362 meters above sea level is mirage and offers a 180 ° panoramic view of the bay of Toulon to La Ciotat and at our feet the deep fault Gorges d ' Ollioules.
The Saint Martin Church, the feudal castle, its walls of carved stone and the bow of the keep on which still hangs a few houses, desperately looking for its way to the future, dragging its time history, the Old Evenos waiting for you !

Le Beasusset village provençal situé entre mer et montagne, membre de la Communauté d’Agglomération Sud Sainte-Baume fait parti de la cöte provençale.
La côte Provençale, bassin baigné de soleil 300 jours par an, regroupe 12 communes de l'Ouest Var. Celles-ci bénéficient, tour à tour, d'une nature vallonée aux reliefs abrupts, d'une végétation abondante ou d'une mer scintillante... Un environnement très diversifié pour un lieu priviligié.
La côte Provençale vous propose ses mille et une richesse et vous livre tous ses secrets.
La côte Provençale n'est pas en reste de contrastes et de reliefs auxquels ses communes se sont respectueusement adaptées. Elle arbore aussi de généreuses forêts peuplées d'espèces originales et de curiosités botaniques que l'on peut découvrir le long de sentiers aménagés par de nombreuses communes.
La côte Provençale est également bordée d'un littoral aux décors tout aussi variés. Tantôt de vastes étendues de plage aménagées se fondent avec la mer. Tantôt des criques naturelles aux accents sauvages dévoilent leurs rochers saillants et leurs reliefs dentelés faisant la notoriété.
Ce sont surtout les époques féodales et gallo-romaines qui ont laissé au bassin de la Côte Provençale les témoignages et les vestiges d'un riche patrimoine. Symboles de cette richesse, les châteaux règnent encore dans de nombreuses communes.
Terre d'histoire, la Côte Provençale déploie généreusement d'hautentiques églises et chapelles témoignant des cultures religieuses catholiques qui ont marqué l'histoire.
La Côte Provençale révèle ici encore l'ampleur de sa diversité et de ses richesses, l'artisanat en étant le symbolique exemple. Et que d'exemples ! L'huile d'olive, le miel, la lavande, les essences de parfum, les fleurs séchées, les tissus provençaux, les céramiques, les santons, les poteries ... The Beasusset Provencal village located between sea and mountains, member of the Communauté d'Agglomération Sud Sainte-Baume is part of the Provence coast.
The Provençal coast, basin bathed in sunshine 300 days a year, gathers 12 municipalities of West Var. These enjoy, in turn, a hilly nature with steep reliefs, abundant vegetation or a sparkling sea ... A very diverse environment for a privileged place.
The Provençal coast offers you a thousand and one wealth and gives you all its secrets.
The Provençal coast is not in rest of contrasts and reliefs to which its communes have respectfully adapted themselves. It also sports generous forests populated with original species and botanical curiosities that can be discovered along trails developed by many municipalities.
The Provencal coast is also bordered by a coastline with equally varied scenery. Sometimes vast expanses of beach are merged with the sea. Sometimes natural coves with wild accents unveil their protruding rocks and jagged reliefs making the notoriety.
It is especially the feudal and Gallo-Roman times that have left the Provençal Coast basin testimonials and vestiges of a rich heritage. Symbols of this wealth, castles still reign in many municipalities.
Land of history, the Provençal Coast generously displays high churches and chapels testifying to Catholic religious cultures that have marked history.
The Provençal Coast again reveals the extent of its diversity and its wealth, the craft being the symbolic example. And what examples! Olive oil, honey, lavender, perfume essences, dried flowers, Provençal fabrics, ceramics, santons, pottery ...

Upon the completion of the 10-kilometre Phase One (Red, Yellow, and Green Lines) in 2014, the system was considered to be the longest aerial cable car system in the world. While other urban transit cable cars like Medellín's Metrocable complement existing rapid transit systems, Mi Teleférico is the first system to use cable cars as the backbone of the urban transit network. In 2018, Mi Teleférico won a Latam Smart City Award in the category of "Sustainable urban development and mobility".

I want you to know that I have just made my mind to join the group "Flickr for the Planet", for two reasons. First, because I want to do something MORE for the Planet and maybe this group may teach me how to do it. I believe PHOTOGRAPHY can help us communicate and exchange points of view about topics that are important to us or inspire others to take action. The second reason, is to make me more participative in Flickr by being driven towards a social cause.
This photograph (F2065 ~ For the Planet) is being published for the second time. I wanted to publish it from scratch, first because I think the content is apropriated to start my publishing flow, but using this photo without a frame was a condition for me (sometimes, I want to get rid of the frames I add to my photographs).
Finally, I want to draw the attention of my old Flickr Friends to this Group "Flickr for the Planet" and inspire them to join too.

This photograph was taken in Cerveira, North of Portugal, in the bank of Minho River, a beautiful natural environment where I stayed during the first weeks of Coronavirus pandemic.
February, 22. Kerstine arrived from Berlin this morning. The weather was uncertain i thought Lizandro was a good idea. We visited last time she was here and the river did not have any water so today, oh boy, what a nice surprise!!!

February, 24. After a great sunrise with my usual friends and our guest Kerstine, the freaks, that's me and Kerstine, :)) got out for a sunset. We drove towards Ericeira, heading to a beach near by. But, while driving, i looked at the sky it was really gray and ugly and on the opposite direction the sun was shining! So we changed the initial plans and hunted the sun by driving to Magoito. It was a blessed decision!!! We had the most dramatic conditions in the last days. The light was of an excellent quality, it rained a lot but the sun was shining behind the clouds. Me and Kerstine were soaked and wet but had a wonderful end of the day. Today, we can be spotted on some location around this area :). High tide is around sunset time and we will be going to a very well known place. However, once again these are only the initial plans they might be adjusted according to weather conditions.:)

March 15 It is raining here but the sun is shining outside. I should go out for photos but my household responsabilities call me for duty :) Later it will be a dramatic sunset and hopefully i will be there to catch it. Tomorrow is sun-day-rise and the weather report is very promising, too! Yeah, i have never cared as much for weather reports and tides as i care now.

February, 27. Another journey to the shore. Late afternoon while the sky was stormy and the light was gentle and forgiving. At a certain point, it felt as if we had a gigantic lamp over the sea waters. The sea was rising but still we had 1hour left until the full peak so, at least, an hour left of light to shoot. The water moved slowly designing the most wonderful curves on the sand and the white foam gently wrapped around the rocks on the shore. I could spend hours documenting these movements. I am becoming addicted to the sea and its mist. Today the weather conditions are very promising again, see you around here or some place else around.

Finally, yesterday, we had a morning full of mist and fog where we really need it. Sunday i was visiting Peninha, again!! I have been there hunting these mornings for awhile without success. Yesterday was close to perfection although no sun and no rays but hey! you can't have it all. Still a morning full of shots and I had to be dragged out of the place. I was delighted with so much beauty i don't have the words to describe.

When you are out to shoot and clouds come to take the light away, you better think * well, not a typical summer afternoon, just different one* and deal with it, who knows when you get home the results aren't that bad after all.:)
Aka Praia do Amado this place is seriously...well "beautiful" doesn't do justice! It's out of this planet! Very popular among surfers, in fact that day there were only a few german and spanish surfers around and of course us :)
It was by making photographs that I learned to be an artist. But as I learned to be an artist I grew away from photography.
one of my favorite quotes by Nathan Wagoner and the title is by "TV on the Radio - Staring at the Sun"
Check out my friend´s António VI stream and see not "making of" of this shot but of another yet to come. Ha! and for the record i did not ask to go up on the roof :))))i was invited to climb up there and it was a wonderful moment!! i love Antonio's shot! :))

Changing Images of Man is a 1974 report (revised in 1982) by the Stanford Research Institute (SRI International). This report can be summed up like this:
You have two options: your future can either be 1984 or the Brave New World.
“We have met the enemy and he is us!” We must reform the way we conceptualize the nature of mankind. Indeed, the mind (and body) is a human biocomputer, with programs and coding that can be analyzed, hacked, and altered. Our concepts of free will, freedom, and consciousness must be cast off for man to attain a peaceful, rational, and humane society in the future.
Changing images of man has a double meaning: man’s image has changed throughout history, and man’s image can be changed (manipulated). If we apply this idea to the present, what would be man’s image? Today, man’s image is one of transition. Since we are in the digital age, man’s image would reflect the digital world. Man looks into his screen, and his screen reflects back his digital world. Man’s image is being tokenized into the digital world. His image is becoming digitalized. His image is going to transition into transhumanism (merging man with the digital world). So man’s future image will be one of transhumanism. He will be a techno-slave. Indeed, the image of man is currently being manipulated toward the goals of the elite.
This report warns that our society is heading towards friendly fascism. This form of fascism “will come under the slogans of democracy.” It will be a “techno-urban fascism,” a “friendly sort of totalitarianism.” This is what this friendly fascism will look like: they will use military surveillance technologies to aid the police; they will use behavior-changing drugs and indoctrination in schools; they will attempt to manage the news; they will use personality screening and maintain files on pre-delinquent children, via coordination with school administrations and local, state, and federal authorities; they will use interconnected computer systems to collect peoples personal data like: employment records, criminal records, tax status, credit, insurance, and information about education.
What is their solution to this friendly fascism? They want, instead, to introduce a friendly fascism that has a shiny spiritual veneer. They want man to “evolve” to a higher consciousness, a super consciousness, which lies at the boundary between the conscious and unconscious parts of the mind. This evolution of consciousness will be a personal, spiritual, social, and cultural evolution. They want people to tap into this consciousness through their dream states. They want them to evolve into a hivemind, where they can telepathically communicate with one another. This could possibly be achieved through mystical experiences, psychic phenomena, esoteric ideas, occult practices, hypnotism, self-hypnotism, meditation, yoga, psychotherapy, psychology, psychochemical drugs, electrocranial stimulation, and cybernetics. “I think that cybernetics is the biggest bite out of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge that mankind has taken in the last 2000 years.”
This evolved man will see the inequality of the poorer nations. He will willingly give up his comfortable lifestyle. He will lower his living standards. He will share his wealth with the rest of the world. Men will collectively work together to accomplish equality (communism). And if they refuse to give up their wealth, they will be forced to give it up. This evolution is Gnostic in nature; it reminds me of Karl Marx, with his idea of man evolving into the socialist man/communist man. Out of this evolution will come a new system, a “new socialism,” which will be influenced by Freemasonry. “In ‘true Freemasonry’ there is one lodge, the universe-and one brotherhood, everything that exists. Each person has the ‘privilege of labor,’ of joining with the ‘Great Architect’ in building more noble structures and thus serving in the divine plan.”
The architects of this scheme must convince the masses that the earth has limited resources, which they term the “new scarcity.” They must convince the people that the earth is being overpopulated (today, climate change is the big scare they are pushing). With these supposed problems, man must be convinced that he needs to collectively band together. The architects of this scam must bring in a new economic and ecological system (known today as stakeholder capitalism and the green economy). To introduce this alternative way of life, they will introduce “behavior controls that would deprive the individual of freedoms” (which is known today as a social credit score system).
“Thanks to this initiative (the Green Economy Initiative) and the work of other agencies, ‘green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication’ was placed on the 2012 Rio+20 agenda and was acknowledged as a tool for achieving sustainable development.” – United Nations
“A crisis is often the catalyst for the redrawing of one’s preferred map.” A “crisis-oriented transformation” is likely to transform a culture rapidly. We saw some of this during COVID, which greatly affected our society and economy. People accepted a soft form of authoritarianism and the loss of freedoms. During COVID, they pushed vaccine passports. This mimicked Digital IDs. The unvaccinated could not go to certain places, because they didn’t have vaccine passports. The Canadian truckers had their bank accounts frozen. Those with alternative views were censored. These things mimicked a social credit score system with rewards and punishments. Society failed to think critically, thus proving that it was ready for the next step of the plan. Therefore, politicians touted the start of the Great Reset—a plan to build back better. So now we are in a transition period, a transition into a new economic order. As a result, we are being steered towards a major economic crisis. This “crisis-oriented transformation” will bring us into their new system. This system will use digital biometric IDs, CBDCs, and social credit scores.
The elites see multinational corporations as the “most effective mechanisms for husbanding the earth’s resources and optimizing their use for human benefit.” Giving multinational corporations the earth’s resources will supposedly lead to an “equitable sharing of the earth’s resources.” They will pressure corporations to help with the social engineering of society. The methods they will use to get corporations on board resemble those of a corporate social credit score system like ESGs. They will prod corporations, particularly multinational corporations, to shift their goals to line up with those of the (hijacked) public institutions. Indeed, the public institutions will be tools of indoctrination (today, these institutions promote things like DEI). They plan to use “corporations, foundations, political agencies, and voluntary associations” to help with the implementation of their plans. Today, this is called public–private partnerships. They will use networks at the local, regional, national, and world levels. This way, it will be quicker and easier for them to implement their new world order goals. They expect rapid social change, economic decline, and social disruption as they implement their new technocratic socialist order.
“We would thus hope not for a handful, but for a thousand heroes, ten thousand heroes-who will create a future image of what humankind can be.” They need an army of social(ist) justice warriors to bring about change. “The needed transformation cannot occur without both personal and institutional change.” This correlates with the left’s “long march through the institutions.”
They also want to experiment with a variety of family structures. They want to turn the family into “an extended unit,” which will provide “a larger source of meaning and significance.” So basically, the collective (government, schools, neighbors, and society) will raise your children in this new collectivist utopia. This extended family will be a “source of education,” and “a unit for work.” They want to “foster a period of experimentation and tolerance for diverse alternatives, both in life styles and in social institutions.” They also want to use “new experimental curricula.” Today, we have new experimental curricula such as critical race theory and queer theory.
They want the world’s population to embrace this new order. Their end goal is the Brave New World. In reality, those who refuse this new order will live out 1984, and those who accept it will live out the Brave New World. Though, as they admit, no transition will go smoothly. Everyone is going to feel some pain, and in a worst-case scenario, a lot of pain.
The Bible warns us about the Antichrist. Those who refuse the Mark of the Beast won’t be able to buy or sell, and they will be tracked down by the authorities. These people will experience the hell of 1984. But those who take the Mark of the Beast will evolve into transhumans, and they will experience the bliss of the Brave New World. They will be on a high, stimulated by soma frequencies. Thus, they will blissfully worship the Beast. They will evolve to a super consciousness; they will become one with the Beast.
God created man with a soul and free will. Those who accept the Mark of the Beast will lose their free will, because technology will control their allegiance and love for the Beast. Their free will is gonna be controlled by the Beast system. Never again will they have the free will to repent and turn to Jesus Christ. They will give up their free will; they will forfeit their own souls.
Revelation 14:9-11 “A third angel followed the first two, declaring in a loud voice: ‘If anyone worships the Beast and his Image, and takes the Mark on his forehead or his hand, that person will also drink of the wine of God’s anger that has been mixed undiluted in the cup of His wrath, and he will be tortured with fire and sulfur in front of the holy angels and in front of the Lamb. And the smoke from their torture will go up forever and ever, and those who worship the Beast and his Image will have no rest day or night, along with anyone who receives the Mark of his name.’”
Mark 8:36 “For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?”
One last post just before sticking my head, again, on some new project. I am still trying to make it out to the beach, later today! :)

Your light can pierce even the deepest darkness. This one has been sitting on my hard drive for awhile. Today was the day. See big. I do have a couple of really nice shots from this place waiting in line :) Very hard to get here and probably why is so beautiful and peaceful.

Yesterday, the light, at the end of day, was just gorgeous. It was a perfect end of the day: the quality of the light was amazing and tide was just about right having it's low peak at one hour after sunset. As usual, there were some funny stories to laugh about, Luís and Teresa escaped a major, major soak (by running faster than the waves) cause friend Mat warned them on time. Teresa and I got wet all the way up to our butts :) even Calvin got in trouble yesterday but, thanks to him being wise, nothing happened. At the end, the fun had to be celebrated with a couple of deserved beers at the terrace of the only restaurant on the beach (BTW, if you come and visit Adraga, this is the best place to eat fresh fish around). Global warming is real, the weather is amazingly warm which is not common at all for this time of the year.
My friend Teresa has the "making of" for this one

It's raining, gray and ugly in Lisbon. But we all know by now, that rainy, gray and ugly days are great dramatic photographic subjects. This shot is a good example of that. You only have to have the guts to get out there. The tide will be low and skies will be stormy, hopefully the sun will also show up or may be not.

Last days of the year were warm and sunny in the southern coast of Portugal. In fact it felt like it was already spring. The sky was really blue, the light was amazing and the place, well the place is known as Costa Vicentina and it has some of the most beautiful, well preserved beaches in Portugal. It's dreamland for surfers and other watersports lovers. If you visit Portugal it's well worthy renting a car and come down for a visit. You can read more about this area here
Since i started photographing my country, i found places i had no idea that existed. But looking at them at sunrise hours is totally out of this world, you really feel fortunate to have such places and develop a great sense of protection towards them.

It was totally dark. I was having trouble focusing my camera though the beach is iluminated by street lamps. "face on mars" was shot around 6.30 pm after sun had set. The red-orange tones come from parking lot lamps nearby.

Same time and the same place. Some of you may know it by now. Ursa is a favorite place of mine. Today we were joined by a friend Ana Pinho who came to visit.
Almost a year ago, i shot the same location at sunset hours although there are some other shots of this same place around my stream.

good morning to you all and see ya later!:) You will find the large version of this and other works published here
*off to work*
"Now the crickets are singing
The vesper bells ringing
The cat's curled asleep in his chair
I'll go down to Bill's Bar
I can make it that far
And I'll see if my friends are still there
Yes, and here's to the few
Who forgive what you do
And the fewer who don't even care
And the night comes on
It's very calm
I want to cross over, I want to go home
But she says, Go back, go back to the World..."
See the large versions of this and other works here!
Beautiful sky and a small piece of land where onions grow. Perfect, i loved the view and hope you do too! :)
I will be spending next weekend in Brussels, wanna come?:)
I have been there a million times. Actually every time i tell my friends to return to certain locations, we have been before, they reply "Oh no, not again!!" *sigh* :) but the truth is, getting good results in photography means exercising your ability to see, handle light and your subject. So returning to the same location a zillion times, gives you a new opportunity to handle the same subject, you know better and better, in different new ways. Plus no place is the same place twice and this is how i, always, manage to drag them with me, just one last time :))
