A entrada no feriado de 25 de Abril de 2012 foi comemorada na Vila da Tocha com um espectáculo de fogo de artifício, realizado no centro do monumental largo central (e único), que caracteriza esta localidade. No centro do Largo encontra-se o verdadeiro ex-libris da localidade, a Igreja Matriz da Tocha, também conhecida como Igreja de Nossa Senhora d'Atocha.
Neste feriado comemorativo do Dia da Liberdade, tomei a liberdade fazer umas experiências com fotografias em "Exposiçao Bulb" (técnica de exposição em que o obturador da máquina fotográfica se mantém aberto durante todo o tempo em que se mantém pressionado o botão de disparo). Deixo por isso aqui umas fotos experimentais do largo da Tocha e da Igreja à noite (como nunca os viram), bem como do espectáculo de fogo de artifício.

In the town of Tocha (my hometown, located in the municipality of Cantanhede and district of Coimbra), the beginning of the 25 April day (holiday to commemorate the Freedom Day, since de Carnation Revolution of the 25 April of 1974), was celebrated with fireworks in the big central square of the town, were is located our ex-libris, the Church of Tocha (aka Church of Our Lady of Atocha).
I took this chance to make some experiments in "Bulb Photography" in this place. Here are some experimental pictures of the square and the church, and of the fireworks.
