Rio Mondego - Mondego River
Encontrei estas velhas casas abandonadas junto ao Rio Mondego perto da Vila de Carregal do Sal na minha Beira Alta. Foi um grande dia de pescaria excepto que não pescámos absolutamente nada. Mas o piquenique e a companhia de família mais do que compensaram.
I found these old and abandoned houses by the Mondego River near Carregal do Sal, Beira Alta. It was a great fishing day except no one caught a single fish. But the picnic and the company of family more than made up for it.

Vinha da Capela
A quinta da Vinha da Capela na Póvoa da Pégada pertenceu a um muito bom amigo de família. O Dr. José Videira era advogado em Lisboa, mas pessoalmente penso que a sua verdadeira paixão era a pintura. A casa está vazia e abandonada desde que me conheço. Lembro-me de ter entrado aqui algumas vezes quando era criança. Todos os quartos estavam revestidos de belíssimas pinturas a aguarela, óleo, e magníficos retratos, alguns a lápis. Foi certamente essa experiência que acendeu o meu próprio interesse pela pintura, aguarela especialmente.
The estate of Vinha da Capela (literally “Chapel Vineyard”) in Beira Alta belonged to a good family friend, an attorney from Lisbon, José Videira. I do think however, that his true passion was painting. The house has been empty and abandoned for as long as I can remember. I remember visiting a few times as a child and marveling at the beautiful watercolors, oils and pencil drawings on the walls. I am sure this was the first experience that sparked my own interest in painting, watercolor especially.
