The witches of Nazare

by solopes - last update: Jul 28, 2008

Yo no creo en las brujas...

The smile of the wave - Nazaré - Portugal
Once upon a time, when the witches still rode their brooms, I took my girlfriend to Nazare, in a nice rough weather. Walking by the seaside, she almost got wet, by a stronger wave, and I didn’t fail the photo, capturing the moment. Later on, while developing the photo, the witches showed their power, and a face appeared smiling from the water at Fernanda’s feet. Strange…
Flowers in the clouds- Nazaré - Portugal

...pero que las hay, las hay.

Cautiously, I advanced to the second picture, an innocent sunset, and… god! Flowers, popping from the clouds? It was too much. What could I expect from the third one?

But where?

Well…nothing. Fisherman not fishing as usual, people searching the witches in all directions, but… nothing, I said.
We had to think. And the explanation came afterwards, as common as we could expect. The paper used to print the two first pictures had already been exposed, but not developed. The smiling face and the flowers belong to an unknown bride, that will never guess what happened.
You say: everything natural and clearly explained. Of course. But look at the perfect position of both the strange elements. Coincidence, you say? Nah! The witches… The witches of Nazare. Brrrrr.

 Hola Avelino: I can see why you love this town of Nazare' so much. It really is quite beautiful. So glad we had the opportunity to visit here. Lunch at Sao Miguel was excellent. Loved the lady in traditional costume also. Thanks again. Lori

 Great pictures of Nazare. I'll be in Lisbon in a few weeks for 4 days and am looking for a good day-trip. Nazare sounds like a nice option.
