🚶🏔️ Day 8 - Chhomrong to Ghandruk

Let’s just ignore the steep downhill and uphill midday, and focus on the bucolic countryside of Nepal that we started and ended the day.

🚶🏔️ Day 6 - Annapurna Base Camp to Dovan.

Time to leave the high peaks, with an early sunrise over the Annapurna, and move down, down, back to the forests.

Day 5 - Machhapuchhre Base Camp to Annapurna Base Camp.

A small climb between base camps, although any climb at this altitude can make you breed a lot faster, but the relatively short walk had plenty of mountains to show us!

Day 4 - Dovan to Machhapuchhre Base Camp

Going up, up in the mountains, but often what’s over there isn’t a bright sunny day.

🚶🏔️ Day 3 - Chhomrong to Dovan

In the shadow of Machhapuchre. The entire day was done along the sacred mountain, with its iconic fish tail peak, despite most of the times being hidden behind the thick clouds or dense forest.

🚶🏔️ Day 2 - Landruk to Chhomrong

Still low in the valleys, moving between the small villages and the cable bridges that connect them.

🚶🏔️ Day 1 - Siwai to Landruk

Time to start moving the legs, and get used to what’s coming.

Some days all that there’s to tell is the never ending hopping between roadside restaurants, until the final destination.

The sheer size of Nepal’s largest stupa easily imposes itself onto all the crowds and noise circling it.

First dwell into the chaos of Kathmandu. I truly missed the frenzy of this part of the world!

Still about yesterday…

Há finais de tarde piores…

Office day, and making the best of the last days of summer to lunch outside. Because in early October I’ll be traveling and likely to only return in cold weather.

Burger, fries and beer

Back to Amplifest

Back to Porto for Amplifest. Like last year, I ended up taking the camera with me. Like last year, I ended up turning it mostly to everyone around, not the bands. I’m really not a concert photographer, I’m more into paying attention to the small things that are happening around me, and that’s why the moments I took the camera from my bag were the dead moments between shows. The breaks to have a beer, to hangout outside by the sun, to chill and enjoy the day. Just like I was doing.

Sunday mornings…

Slipper and toys on the floor

Como diz a minha amiga Fátima, não me importava de ver Amenra uma vez por ano, assim para lavar a alma! Só isto já teria feito valer a pena ter vindo ao Amplifest no Porto.

Mandatory photo of raindrops on the window on rainy, it’s not me who makes the rules 🤷🏻

If only this could be the work week…
