Something different tonight ... in the mood for some memories of my first travel last year to my grandmother's island, Santo Antao, Cape Verde Islands.

This has been taken on the boat very early in the morning, as I couldn't wait to cross the channel between Sao Vicente and Santo Antao and get at last to her island ...

Certainly some saudade tonight (saudade, Portuguese word that could be translated in nostalgy but doesn't have real translation though).

Hey!
Nostalgy for Cape Verde... With such a beautiful sky and scene (filled with so many different shades of blue), I can understand the nostalgy!
I like the two little orange details, the life ring and whatever the other one is.
Great feeling of depth as the boat heads towards the mountains and the lonely island in the middle of it all.
Great one!
Nuné

Such a simple shot but such a great example of strong composition, it works so well.
Great work

A fine scene. Nostalgia ... Yes, as I retire from service on 31 July, I sit down and look back ... Can recall practically no such scene of serene beauty ...
Beautiful ...

This is really wonderful!
I love the feeling here. The inclusion of the ship gives us the sense that we are travelling with you

Sous les couleurs bleu, blanc, rouge, tu nous offres une superbe composition, Sylvie! Avec
l'île à l'horizon, la lumière jouant les éclaireurs et des nuages en cortège, voilà une bien jolie promenade au pays de ta grand-mère! Qui donc a écrit : "La mélancolie c'est le bonheur d'être triste"? Hugo, je crois! Je pense que cette phrase convient bien à ta photo!
Bravo et merci du partage! Annie

:) Voilà

Bonne soirée princesse
Je suis attiré par cette photo, te dire pourquoi c'est une autre chose, c'est peut être l'avant plan avec ses différentes formes géométriques où les montagnes qui étaient mon loisir ? ...
L'ensemble donne une belle vue et c'est l'ensemble que je dois commenter , donc en toute logique je trouve cette photo belle.

hi Sylvie,

wow, i didn't know you had a grandmother from the capeverde islands! this is great :))
there is still a mystery-feeling around those islands, i would like to visit them one day ( love the music of Cesaria Evoria !)
Great compo, good depth-feeling.
greetings, inn :))

Saudade indeed !!
And a great image for a dark grey day....looks great.
take care
Chris

do you know a song with the name of "saudade" from a Cape Verde singer (Cesária Verde), it`s beautifull the song!

beautifull composition, the sky is perfect!

Dare to be different Sylvie (^_^)

It changes from the streets of Paris. Keep those coming !!!
Nothing like going back to your roots. You must enjoyed your stay!

I like the colors here , and composition with the lifebuoy. Well done !
Robert

A compliment on this photo Sylvie.
The mood, your story and love for your GrandMother.. the view that reminds me so much of an island I love , more to the North, Tenerife..than just being back from a Cruise on the Méditerranée .. all this is combined in your nice photo , I do admire. TFS and have a good weekend

J'ai pensé à mon île et aux voyages en caboteur vers l'Ile des Pins.
J'aime beaucoup "l'ambiance" et les tons...as tu testé en NB?
