Hi 👋
Today, as I stepped onto the wooden walkways of Marreco Beach in Lavra, the mist created an almost dreamlike atmosphere, softening the edges of the familiar landscape. The ocean murmured in the distance, and the salty air carried a quiet nostalgia for the warmth of summer days now gone.
This morning, I decided to go for a walk on the beach of Marreco in Lavra. The sun was still hiding, and the air was fresh. It was early, just after sunrise, but the sky was completely covered with a thick fog. The ocean waves crashed gently against the shore, creating a peaceful soundtrack for my walk.

Esta manhã, decidi dar um passeio na praia do Marreco, em Lavra. O sol ainda se escondia e o ar estava fresco. Era cedo, logo após o nascer do sol, mas o céu estava completamente coberto por uma espessa neblina. As ondas do oceano batiam suavemente na costa, criando uma banda sonora tranquila para a minha caminhada.
As I stepped onto the wooden walkways, the mist made everything look mysterious. The wooden paths stretched along the coastline, disappearing into the fog. It felt like I was walking into a dream, where the world was quiet, and only the sound of my footsteps and the distant seagulls could be heard. The fresh scent of the ocean mixed with the damp wooden boards beneath my feet, adding to the immersive experience.

Ao pisar os passadiços de madeira, a neblina fez com que tudo parecesse misterioso. Os caminhos de madeira estendiam-se ao longo da costa, desaparecendo na neblina. Era como se estivesse a entrar num sonho, onde o mundo estava quieto, e apenas o som dos meus passos e das gaivotas distantes se ouviam. O aroma fresco do oceano misturado com as tábuas de madeira húmidas debaixo dos meus pés, contribuindo para a experiência imersiva.
Walking along the beach in the morning has always been one of my favourite things to do. The fog made it even more special, turning the familiar landscape into a new and exciting place to explore. The silhouettes of distant figures walking along the shore appeared and disappeared like ghosts, blending into the mist as quickly as they emerged.

Caminhar pela praia de manhã sempre foi uma das coisas que mais gostei de fazer. A neblina tornou tudo ainda mais especial, transformando a paisagem familiar num lugar novo e emocionante para explorar. As silhuetas de figuras distantes que caminhavam pela costa apareciam e desapareciam como fantasmas, misturando-se com a névoa tão rapidamente como emergiam.
I love walking here, especially in the summer. This morning reminded me of one particular day last August when I came to this same beach. That day, the fog was just as dense, making it feel like I was inside a cloud. Even though summer is over, looking at those photos brings back warm memories.

Adoro caminhar aqui, especialmente no verão. Esta manhã fez-me lembrar um dia em particular em agosto passado, quando cheguei a esta mesma praia. Naquele dia, o nevoeiro estava tão denso que parecia que eu estava dentro de uma nuvem. Mesmo que o verão tenha acabado, olhar para estas fotos traz-me boas recordações.
The sand looks softer, the ocean seems calmer, and the whole place feels like another world. Today, I felt a little nostalgic, missing those long summer days when the beach was full of people, children playing and families enjoying their time together. Now, the beach was almost empty, except for a few early walkers like me and some fishermen standing near the water. The sound of the waves crashing gently on the shore was uninterrupted by the usual summer laughter and chatter. The absence of noise made me feel even more connected to nature.

A areia parece mais macia, o oceano parece mais calmo e todo o lugar parece outro mundo. Hoje, senti-me um pouco nostálgico, com saudades daqueles longos dias de verão, em que a praia estava cheia de gente, crianças a brincar e famílias a aproveitar o tempo juntas. Agora, a praia estava quase vazia, exceto por alguns caminhantes madrugadores como eu e alguns pescadores parados perto da água. O som das ondas a rebentarem suavemente na praia não era interrompido pelas habituais gargalhadas e conversas de verão. A ausência de ruído fez-me sentir ainda mais conectado com a natureza.
The occasional cyclist passed by, their bright jackets standing out against the gray backdrop. Even in the fog, life continued, and people found ways to enjoy the beauty of the beach in their own way.
The dunes on the side of the walkway were covered in tufts of grass, their tips swaying slightly in the light morning breeze. The plants here are strong, built to withstand the salty air and harsh coastal winds. Every now and then, I saw small birds darting between the grasses, searching for food or shelter. The ecosystem here is delicate, yet it thrives in these conditions.

De vez em quando, passavam ciclistas, com os seus casacos brilhantes a destacarem-se contra o fundo cinzento. Mesmo no nevoeiro, a vida continuou, e as pessoas encontraram formas de desfrutar da beleza da praia à sua maneira.
As dunas junto à passarela estavam cobertas de tufos de erva, cujas pontas balançavam ligeiramente na brisa leve da manhã. As plantas aqui são fortes, feitas para suportar o ar salgado e os fortes ventos costeiros. De vez em quando, via pequenos pássaros a voar entre as ervas, em busca de alimento ou abrigo. O ecossistema aqui é delicado, mas prospera nestas condições.
As I continued walking, I saw several caravans parked nearby. This area is popular with travellers, especially in the warmer months. People come here with their vans and campers, enjoying the peaceful environment and waking up to the sound of the waves. Even in autumn, some caravans remain, their owners embracing the slower rhythm of life by the sea.

Enquanto continuava a caminhar, vi várias caravanas estacionadas ali perto. Esta área é popular entre os viajantes, especialmente nos meses mais quentes. As pessoas vêm aqui com as suas carrinhas e roulottes, aproveitando o ambiente tranquilo e acordando com o som das ondas. Mesmo no outono, algumas caravanas permanecem, e os seus donos abraçam o ritmo mais lento da vida à beira-mar.
At the end of my walk, I reached one of my favourite spots, the colorful basketball court near the beach. It's a public space, open to everyone, and it always adds a lively touch to the area. The bright colors of the court contrast with the foggy sky, making it stand out even more. Sometimes, you can see people playing a casual game, but today, it was quiet, waiting for the next group to bring it to life.

No final da minha caminhada, cheguei a um dos meus locais favoritos, o campo de basquetebol colorido perto da praia. É um espaço público, aberto a todos, e acrescenta sempre um toque animado ao local. As cores brilhantes da quadra contrastam com o céu enevoado, fazendo com que se destaque ainda mais. Por vezes, pode ver-se pessoas a jogar um jogo casual, mas hoje estava calmo, à espera que o próximo grupo desse vida ao jogo.

Que hermosa playa y se ve que tiene abundante arena. Las cabañas se ven muy acogedoras. Saludos
The fog and lack of people give a cool spooky vibe to the photos. I love the taste of salty sea fog in the air, I can almost taste it through your photographs. Very cool. Thank you for sharing!
