Photographer’s Note

This is a detail of a street in Castro Verde. Castro Verde is a small town in the heart of the Alentejo, a plae where the soul of this region can be really felt. This area is also called "campo branco" (white field) because the landscape has been transformed by man in order to transform it into the "barn of Portugal". These are the lands of the big crops and also of many difference species of birds - a real paradise for birdwatchers and a protected area.
Here, most part of the houses are still very low and following the traditional architecture. When the weather is fine and mainly in the hot summer evenings, these benches are full of people talking. Yesterday there was no one there, it was really hot during the day.
