For Absolutely Every One Who Has Visited Lisbon-Looks

It is not the first time I have posted this picture, I know.
But I post it again now for everyone for whom I have not had enough time to complete my plan. It started at the weekend. I felt I could not go on with this, so bad and so quickly were things changing.
Then I thought that there were too many people whose photography and/or comments and e-mails had become too valued to just stop. It is not my way.
Then certain friends were urging me to contine«ue using the photos in my fight.
My way was to start on a series of personalised dedications. I didn't tell anybody, but I knew that a stop was coming. Unfortunately, it has come and I have not finished.
Please Neorelix, please Mlle P, please anyone whose names I don't write now - do not think that I didn't include you because I valued you less. You were on my list, but time ran out.
So this - one of my all-time favourites photos - is for you and all the others. It is perfectly natural. These were the true colours, this was the true focus, all exactly as I saw it, with no help from any software. It is my favourite look of Lisbon, I guess. And a good souvenir.
Very few of you know just what stopping this means to me. You have brought the world, light, the best of everything into this place during a time of worsening darkness. You have made suffering much easier to bear, without even knowing. And each day, I have tried to bring my best to repay & thank you.
I hope it will be possible to start again. Or even post things sometimes. But I believe it will be a different time, with different circumstances. And we only go in one direction.....Até qualquer dia e obrigadíssimo from the heart! Posted by Picasa

Is this Goodbye? Because I don't like Goodbyes, especially when I've only just found you! The picture is beautiful.

¡Preciosa foto! ¡Animo! las dificultades llega un momento que se acaban, la cuestión es hacerse fuerte y resistir más que ellas, así se vence, confía en tí mismo.
Te deseo lo mejor.

No eres la única persona que vive la adversidad, yo tengo el tunel oscuro con el fondo de luz sentado a 2 metros de mi. Y aqui estoy, buscando la belleza de una foto y sonriendo con las naranjas.
tú sabes donde encontrarnos. Si necesitas, sólo llama.
