I don't think so... No, I don't regret it
It is true, though, that I realized about that mistake I made on day one
When we got to Evora after seeing the landscapes of the Alentejo
That I should have stayed there instead of the Algarve
And don't get me wrong, the Algarve was beautiful, but the vast landscapes of the Alentejo just stole my heart
Yes. It's not a long drive so I went there two or three times and actually that's what I did on my last day of
the trip, the forecast had some fog around the small town of Almodovar
I had been there a couple of times before so I just decided to do the drive and check it out
You never know, you know? with those weather apps. As soon as I saw the fog
rolling in I started to get very excited, I just wanted to get there and start making images
There was a lot of shooting from the side of the road, for sure
I drove a lot that day, I even got lost a couple times. I remember this tiny town,
very narrow streets, I can't even find it on the map now, not sure where I was
My problem was that I didn't quite understand some signs in the country
Some seemed to read touristic hunting, I don't know if that was good or bad
Most of the roads led to houses and farms, though, so I didn't want to enter
I didn't want to trespass. I was limited to staying behind the fences, everything was fenced in
I believe that because of that I missed a lot of good images
Yeah, I was thinking about what to do next because I wasn't sure, when I saw it
It was my first time seeing a dead sheep. I've seen cows and pigs before, but never a sheep for some reason
I couldn't ask for a better day for photography, the conditions were
almost perfect and there was almost no one on the road or in towns
The towns... yes, I visited quite a few of them
I love Portuguese towns, those white buildings, those narrow streets
everything is very photogenic
I did make a few images
In those towns, I remember a door of a church, a couple of images in a cemetery,
my favorite, I believe, the one of the chapel with the two sides, dark and bright
I know, I know, I drove to the Alentejo because of the landscapes, because of the open roads
It took a bit of exploring to find it
The fog had cleared up hours ago
but it didn't matter
These landscapes were the reason why I was there, they were what I was looking for
