Sunset of hopes and dreams. Troia, Portugal.

Today was really a very lousy day. It is only the first day of September, but it is raining and colder that the expected for this time of the year. I don’t want to think about it, but I must admit that the winter is coming, faster than I would like. This is Troia. Surrounded by nature, the Troia Peninsula has a seemingly endless coastline of sandy beaches and still offers pristine beauty despite the recent growth of hotels and resort areas, just 40 km south Lisbon. I took this photo when the sun was getting warmer and the days where getting bigger, announcing the hope of an endless summer. This sunset at first days of summer was that moment when we are standing on the sand in the end of the afternoon watching the sun set and being overcome with all of your hopes and dreams at once. A few become true, a few we let them to the next summer.
