This lovely old tile image, in a back street of Sintra, is a 19th century scene depicting Fado, the folk music of Portugal.
Fado is known for its expressiveness and profound melancholy, and the singer (usually, but not always, female) sings about the hard realities of daily life. She is normally accompanied by two musicians, one playing a classical guitar and the other a Portuguese guitar (which looks and sounds similar to a mandolin)
‘Fado’ translates as ‘destiny’ or ‘fate’, and therein lies its sad beauty. The music took root some 200 years ago in the working-class back streets of Lisbon, and to this day fadistas (fado singers) usually dress in black, including a shawl of mourning.
I first discovered fado in Lisbon way back in 1974, and I’ve been completely hooked ever since. Here’s a fine example of fado music. The vocalist is the wonderful Ana Moura.
A city skyline is depicted against a vibrant red and orange sunset, with the sun partially hidden behind tall buildings. Geometric patterns and varying shades add depth and dimension to the urban landscape.
The picture was taken in a storage room for coal in an abandoned factory which used to make ferro-silicium. It is actually not a cutout, the shovel really was that red and everything surrounding it was in various shades of gray and black.

Thanks to Aprevit for helping to adjust the levels a bit in order to better bring out the wear on the wall.
This '60s era Chevrolet Biscayne was known as the working or economy class entry for the company from the the late '50s to the mid '70s.Seldom did it have premium exterior features like chrome,but you were able to order a Biscayne with power features like the big Chevy V-8's and heavy duty sport transmissions of the time.That made them a popular alternative to the more pricey Chevrolet Impalas and Bel-Airs of the same period.This forgotten car across from a country church and cemetery in rural Polo is pretty much complete and certainly in restorable condition.If restored,I got the feeling it would finally get some of those premium features,and respect,that have so far been lacking....

Over the past three days, I've shared images from Marchienne-au-Pont, one of Charleroi's many working-class neighborhoods shaped by coal, steel, and now, slow decline. This final photo concludes the series: a woman cleaning her window, framed by lace curtains and street reflections. Though a simple gesture, it quietly resists the area's overall decline. Even here—where buildings are falling apart and industry has faded—life persists in small, resilient ways. People care, clean, and continue onward.
