One picture, a feeling, a thousand thoughts...

One Picture that i like ... this photo was shot at "Serra da Estrela, Portugal, in 2006", and was taken with the intent of presenting the feeling of a journey into the unknown ... With a sense of Peace, Serenity, nice colors, and a direction that is clearly defined, even not knowing where we will end up to, exactly ... We are left with an option: Because we can see the road, not all the way, but only the direction that it is taking in the mid horizon, we can choose ... if we want to take that road or not ... like in life ... !!!

Tranquility, Serenety, a sense of Peace, an afternoon well spent ... all good things that i can take out of this image. I hope you can get them too... Have a good Journey ... ;)

My first attempt @ blogger

Concerning my name: Beldroega

In Portugal it is also known as "Ora-pro-nobis", or, "eleven-hours", or even "verdolaga", "beldroega-pequena" and "beldroega-verdadeira".

In English it is called "Porcelain"

Specifically it is a plant and the scientific name for it is: Portulaca Oleracea

About my surname: Luis (Lewis)

It has is origins in Normandy, in the north of France. The Normans - "They were descended from Norse Viking conquerors of the territory and the native population of Frankish[2] and Gallo-Romanstock.[3]"
From the Normandic personal name Lowis and Ludocicus, my name means, "fame" and "war", because in is composition we can see the Germanic elements hlod and wig.

Some of the information presented here, was gathered @ the Wikipedia website.
