At the Torre de Belém, Lisboa in 2014. I visited the Tower two times, once with a walking partner, and once by bike. Fado is a sentimental musical tradition, telling the story of loss, of sailors leaving behind family and friends as they venture into the unknown. Photo from the top of the Monument to the Discoveries looking outwards to the Tower, and beyond into the Atlantic.
Photo taken in a Fado tavern in Lisboa. The woman had one of the strongest voices I've ever heard.
Saudade, one of those words only roughly translatable into English as "I'm feeling bluesy" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudade
