Hell’s Mouth – Not so Hellish
One of the first stops during my visit to Portugal was Boca do Inferno which in English translates as: Hell’s Mouth. It was early May and the air temperature rose above 35 Celsius. The ocean was unusually calm and nothing suggested the raging waves this spot is known for.
This is my entry for the challenge run by Restless Jo who made Portugal her second home.

I love the contrasts between the textures pf the water and the rocks. Just beautiful Paula- and the perspective- the rocks appearing to get smaller as the vantage point changes. Just beautiful. Like the music too 🙂 Have a great Monday!

I’d love to know who that singer is! Would you mind sharing? I’d love to get some of her music. 🙂

Absolutely not. It is the voice of Dulce Pontes, my favourite Portuguese singer. Look her up on you tube. There is a wonderful tune by Morricone: Your Love.

Thanks so much, Paula. I will definitely look her up. Is her music considered fado?

In fact here is the tune I mentioned https://bopaula.wordpress.com/2014/11/13/thursdays-special-warmth-photo-101/ She sings fado, but not just fado.

Thank you so much, sweetheart! 🙂 🙂 Stunning shot. I’ve never been to that precise spot but my elderly neighbours in the Algarve have a home there. It’s a very old, draughty house and they like to spend Summers at the beach, much further south. Lovely music. I’m soothed now. 🙂
