A very evocative page Vitor. Those new white buildings look so sterile, where are the trees? I miss seeing big trees in a village!!
Interesting page. Love your photos and that blue sky!!
I am happy that they are friendly :))))))) bonita pagina vecino :=)))
No matter how white...no matter how like the old....the "misfits" will probably always mourn their village. No wonder. The soul of a place is in the very dirt...we VTers have learned that when we visit a place and fall in love.
Vitor; What a poignant story about Luz (and its people.) It sounds like the stories I hear in my work travels--how communities want to bring investment into their town, but yet want to preserve the "soul" or "culture"...such a delicate balancing act...
Muito bonito!!!
Wonderful page Vitor!
Time runs so fast. I didn't knew yet that the new Aldeia da Luz was born and the other was drawn. Such a sad story. I can imagine how the people feel. Great page!
