oh today is a international holiday and i felt like escaping from the usual tuesday feature for something equally creative – my work as a landscape photographer. asides from the portrait work i do, this is also one of my most favourite things to do – taking pictures on the places i visit. you already know my work as a photographer of lisbon and today i wanted to share my latest work by the sea, in peniche, where we usually spend our weekends.
these landscapes are pretty common to me and yet i always try to capture them one more time and through a different perspective or processing. this was a very gloomy day, always with several dark clouds in the sky… but i do love to look at the ocean on these days. it’s interesting because though i was never one of those persons with a special feeling about the sea, i never felt differently just by looking at the sea as some report, but i’ve been enjoying looking at it on summer days or winter ones as well. there is something about the light coming from a grey sky, a thunderstorm threatening sky. i hope you’re having a delightful holiday!
ps. twiggs photography is having a bogo sale (buy one, get one for free!), enjoy while it lasts!

these are beautiful! i also love the ocean, anytime, anywhere! your corner of the sea is lovely! are there waves? how warm is your water? over here, on the central coast of california, this time of year, the water is almost 55 degree Fahrenheit. when i sure i wear a very warm wetsuit with booties and a hood. thanks for sharing claudia!
twiggs says
hello emily, how long it has been!!! yes lots of waves! these beaches are actually well known for the waves and once a year the best surfers in the world come to surf here! and it’s quite amazing! but no, no warm water, really cold to be true! warmer waters just in the south! thank you so much for your time!

Beautiful pictures! Makes me long for water. I really miss lakes and the ocean and it feels like I never have time to enjoy nature anymore (I live on an island so I guess I don’t have to look too far to find the ocean). It really is beautiful!
twiggs says
hello sweet marianne! how are you? you should find the time to enjoy nature!! have a lovely day!

As I’ve mentioned to you before, I love to see your west-facing views of the Atlantic, and think of how we all live in this same world, but depending on where we live, our view of things sometimes looks a bit different. It’s fun to see how the world looks through your eyes. :)
twiggs says
hello diane, so kind of you! yes, it’s always so interesting to see something else in the world through the eyes of someone else! thank you so much for your visit + comment ♥
