Another village scene somewhere in the rocky mountains of Minho, at one of my favorite moments of the day, the afternoon end, with its special light when it happens on a clear sky. A woman returns home by the Fountain path with a basin of fresh laundry, probably washed in a local wash house.
Mais uma cena de aldeia, algures nas pedregosas montanhas do Minho, numa das minhas alturas preferidas do dia, o final de tarde, com a sua luz especial quando acontece num dia de céu limpo. Uma mulher regressa a casa pelo caminho da Fonte com uma bacia de roupa acabada de lavar, muito provavelmente num lavadouro das redondezas.

What a lovely image, Paulo. And, you're right, the afternoon light brings so much warmth to any painting, and creates such beautiful shadows. I wonder if you live in a village like this one.
By the way, I looked closely at your profile image, too, and never realized you are kissing your adorable cat (a kitten then) Just thought it was your beard:)

Morning and late afternoon lights are my favorites indeed, Nancy, and are especially beautiful in these mountain locations.
I live in the city actually, but downsizing my life, possessions and moving into such a village is something I've been dreaming for the last years. I don't know if I will ever make this dream real, as it's a decision I can't take individually, but however I'm grateful for my present life and these wonderful places are just a couple of hours from home, so I can visit them often.
You made me smile about my adorable "beard", which is now a grown-up little terrorist that, in response to my kisses, was just attacking my foot when I was reading your comment. But I know I will be kissing him again soon :)))
Have a wonderful week!
Paulo
