Rui, I appreciate a lot the photos that you have here, especially these of the series of Serra da Arada.

Feels like time stopped in these villages. And progress has not arrived in there.
It is a great contrast to the life of our cities, in this 21st century and in a Europe where the development comes at very different speeds.

They reflect very well, how difficult and hard is the life for these people, who live in isolated villages of our country. And unfortunately forgotten (by the political power).

It is difficult to choose one of them, but I would say that this one is really good.
Congratulations.
Rui Pires  Obrigado, Jorge :)
(aqui nos comentários às fotos já publicadas podes escrever em lingua "critã" sem qualquer problema, mas claro que tambem pode ser em "british" ;-)
Jorge Ferraz  Ok, Rui.

Pensei que não fosse permitido ou pelo menos bem visto, pelos moderadores e fundadores do fórum.

Assim sendo, mais uma vez parabéns pelo excelente trabalho que pude observar na tua galeria.
Rui Pires  Nos comentários às fotos publicadas não há qualquer problema em usar a lingua materna do autor :)
Só se exige o Inglês no forum de crítica ;)

Abraço e obrigado
