Story of A Step

read 2 min

Taking only one step is able to change the life, change the time, and change you…

A quiet walk with each step reminding a different memory.

The same place, different people. One step and everything changes…

Family, vitality, energy, and after that, staying alone with your memories… 2 photos that are very similar to each other, but in fact, all feelings are different. As much as one represents happiness togetherness, the other represented just loneliness.

I was able to capture these shots at Porto Covo, which has oceanic cliffs in one of Portugal’s coastal towns. Actually, there was not much difference between these two frames. The photograph of the old man I took first inspired me to take the second one including the family. Although I noticed them very late, I tried to get the best frame quickly by adjusting the angle as much as I could. It was really important to be calm and careful not to disturb spontaneity and catch the best frame at the same time… 🙂

There have been many towns in Portugal that I have discovered while having a road trip for a week. Porto Covo was one of them, but my noble favorite was Vila Nova de Milfontes. Maybe I will need an additional article to explain this place, but here also with a few photos that I will try to fit my feelings and experiences into 1-2 paragraphs…

This town is actually a town that can be evaluated in terms of many parameters and can have a good score. The bridge connecting the two sides and the river crossing under it, beaches, coastlines, the water sports, the wavy and tidal ocean, the stone museum and the wonderful sunset. Not only them but also, of course, great local people and great food.

Vila Nova de Milfontes.

First of all, it is not necessary to start by telling about the people who make sense of this beauty… People in this town do not really make you feel they are trying to take advantage of tourists. In contrast, they are very helpful and respectful. On the other hand, the city has really preserved its architecture and nature. Although the bridge is the representation of calmness, the giant waves and flux of the ocean are the work of the wildness of dynamism. Honestly, I liked this place very much, maybe because it resembles my personality and my Gemini sign…

Actually, isn’t that what life is like? The places where we take our steps are the same. The reason it feels different to us over time is the change in the taste we get from life. This does not mean that the taste is getting less and less. It is common to be perceived in this way, but indeed, every moment is a moment and a sense of meaning to be discovered in every period,..
