Como referi no meu post anterior, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;ainda restam alguns Palheiros na Praia da Tocha. Contudo, quase  todos são, ou réplicas modernas, ou construções de características  "híbridas", de transição entre os velhos Palheiros e as habitações  modernas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Curiosamente, este velho Palheiro não se localiza na Praia da Tocha. Repousa num campo agrícola, a Oeste da Caniceira (localidade da Freguesia da Tocha), uns 7-8 quilómetros longe do mar e a uns 9-10 quilómetros de distância do seu lugar de construção original, o antigo "Bairro dos Caniceiros" da Praia da Tocha.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Há uns anos atrás, os últimos Palheiros desse "bairro" foram demolidos, para ampliar e efectuar um arranjo urbanístico no Largo da Fonte, na Praia da Tocha.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Este terá sido possivelmente o único sobrevivente, uma vez que o seu proprietário terá arcado com o trabalho e as despesas de o transportar de lá, para o preservar. Agradeço ao "Manel", autor do "&lt;a href="http://blog-do-manel.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Blog do Manel&lt;/a&gt;", &lt;a href="http://blog-do-manel.blogspot.com/2009/07/mas-que-turismo.html" target="_blank"&gt;as informações que me facultou há uns anos sobre este Palheiro&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Nas fotos é visível a acção destrutiva do tempo e dos elementos sobre a madeira de que é feito, o que fará com que possivelmente este Palheiro não dure muitos mais anos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The curious trip of the "last Palheiro" of Tocha Beach!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Here are some photos that I took, to what I think that is the "last of the original Palheiros" of Tocha Beach. As I mentioned in my previous post, there are still some "Palheiros" in Tocha Beach. However, almost all are, or modern replicas, or hybrid houses, with features of the transition between the old "Palheiros", and the modern houses.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt; Interestingly, this old "Palheiro" is not located in Tocha Beach. It lies in a agricultural field, west of Caniceira (village located in the civil parish of Tocha), some 7-8 kilometers away from the sea, and some 9 -10 kilometers away from his place of original construction, the old "Bairro dos Caniceiros", an ancient neighborhood in Tocha Beach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few years ago, the last "Palheiros" of this neighborhood were demolished, to expand and make an urban arrangement of the "Largo da Fonte" (means Square of the Source), in Tocha Beach.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;This has been perhaps the only "survivor Palheiro", since his owner assumed the costs and the labor of the transportation, to preserve the "Palheiro".

A eles se terão juntado mais tarde alguns habitantes das localidades mais próximas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Estes primeiros habitantes estavam sujeitos a vários condicionalismos extremos, que incluíam a sua modesta condição económica, o isolamento e difícil acesso do local (sem estradas, com o acesso a ser feito por caminhos de areia solta), a falta de materiais de construção na Gândara (para além do adobe, do barro e da madeira de pinho) e sua dificuldade de transporte até ao local. Existia ainda a flutuação sazonal do nível do solo arenoso das dunas costeiras, causada pelos ventos fortes, que ora depositavam, ora retiravam areia (fenómeno natural que quase desapareceu na actualidade). Estes condicionalismos conduziram ao aparecimento do "Palheiro da Praia da Tocha", habitação típica desta localidade, assim chamado por originalmente os seus telhados serem cobertos por palha, antes de serem substituídos por telhas de barro. Outros condicionalismos similares moldaram as formas de outras variantes do "Palheiro", construídas em outras localidades do Litoral-Centro Português. Mas o "Palheiro da Praia da Tocha" ganhou distinção em relação aos outros tipos locais de "Palheiros", essencialmente por dois motivos: as suas dimensões mais modestas, e o facto de terem permanecido até mais tarde na Praia da Tocha, muitos anos depois do seu completo desaparecimento em outras localidades costeiras!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Os "Palheiros" eram pequenas construções feitas de tábuas de madeira de pinho (material abundante na região, barato e mais fácil de transportar (convém alertar que a floresta costeira da Gândara só foi semeada nas duas décadas de 1920-1940, sendo que antes esta zona era formada por dunas arenosas, com poucas árvores e alguma vegetação rasteira)), com não mais do que 1 a 3 divisões internas. Eram erguidos sobre profundas estacas (entre 1 metro a 1,5m acima do nível do solo), evitando-se assim que ficassem "semi-enterrados" ou com a sua base "descalça", dependendo do vento acumular ou retirar areia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Até meados do século XX, os Palheiros constituíram a quase totalidade dos edifícios do povoado. Contudo, a partir desta altura dá-se uma alteração radical nos condicionalismos anteriormente citados. O nível de vida e o poder económico das populações começa a aumentar, o que as leva a ansiar por melhores condições de conforto e habitabilidade. O isolamento e o difícil acesso são quebrados pela construção de uma estrada alcatroada. Novos materiais de construção, de produção industrial, ganham preponderância, como o cimento e o tijolo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;A pouco e pouco, durante a segunda metade do século XX, os Palheiros começam a desaparecer lentamente e progressivamente da Praia da Tocha, sendo substituídos por habitações modernas. Hoje restam poucos Palheiros. E quase todos são, ou réplicas modernas, ou construções de características "híbridas", de transição entre os velhos Palheiros e as habitações modernas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Como não possuo fotografias próprias dos antigos Palheiros, coloco aqui algumas fotos que tirei dos painéis de azulejos existentes na Capela da Praia da Tocha, os quais foram baseados em fotos antigas.

Later, some residents of the nearest villages came too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;"&gt;Those first inhabitants were subject to various extreme constraints, which included his modest economic status, the isolation and the difficult access to this place (without roads, with the access done by way of loose sand paths), the lack of building materials in Gândara (apart from adobes, clay and pine wood), and its difficulty in transportation to the site. There were also a seasonal fluctuation in the level of the sandy soil of the coastal dunes, caused by strong winds, which sometimes accumulated more sand, other times took sand away (natural phenomenon that has almost disappeared nowadays). These constraints led to the emergence of the "Palheiro of Tocha Beach", wooden hut typical of this coastal village, originally so called because their roofs were covered with straw, before being later replaced by clay tiles. Other similar constraints were in the origin of other variants of the "Palheiro", built in other coastal places of the Portuguese Center Region. But the "Palheiro" won distinction from "Palheiros" of other places, for two main reasons: its modest dimensions (these were smaller), and the fact that they remained until very late in the Tocha Beach, many years after its complete disappearance in other coastal locations!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;"&gt;The "Palheiros" were small buildings, made ​​of planks of pine wood (there were plenty of pine wood in other places of the region,&amp;nbsp; who was cheaper and easier to transport (i must say that the forest around Tocha Beach was only planted in the two decades of 1920-1940. Before, this area it was composed by sandy dunes, with few trees and some ground vegetation)), with no more than 1 to 3 internal divisions. They were built, raised on deep piles (from 1 meter to 1.5 meters above ground level), thus avoiding that they would be half buried, or had its base exposed, depending if the wind was putting or removing sand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;"&gt;Until the mid-twentieth century, the Palheiros were almost all the buildings of the village. However, by this time, the constraints mentioned above changed profoundly. The standard of living and the economic status of the population began to improve, which leads them to yearn for better comfort and livability. The isolation and the difficult access, were broken with the construction of a paved road. New building materials, of industrial production, became standards, such as the cement and bricks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;"&gt;During the second half of the twentieth century, the Palheiros begin to disappear from Tocha Beach, slowly and progressively, being replaced by modern housing. Today there are few Palheiros. And almost every are, or modern replicas, or "hybrid" constructions,&amp;nbsp; in transition between the original Palheiros and the modern houses.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="color: blue;"&gt;As I do not have photographs of the old Palheiros, i put here some photos I took from some tile panels, located in the outside walls of the Chapel of Tocha Beach.

Half century ago, there were many of this windmills, spreaded throughout the Gândara. But with the big changes which occurred in the Local Economy and in the Technology, during the last decades, they lost almost all of their usefulness. Most windmills were demolished or abandoned. Very few remain! You can read a short resume of the technical features of these windmills, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://visoesdagandara.blogspot.com/2010/06/o-moinho-gandarez-dos-morros-foi.html" style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;" target="_blank"&gt;here (click)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/K94WOJBaBcg" width="480"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/IpgVquuyj_s" width="480"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/829788851069137227-1792057724308811588?l=visoesdagandara.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://visoesdagandara.blogspot.com/feeds/1792057724308811588/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=829788851069137227&amp;postID=1792057724308811588' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/829788851069137227/posts/default/1792057724308811588'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/829788851069137227/posts/default/1792057724308811588'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://visoesdagandara.blogspot.com/2011/11/moinhos-de-vento-gandareses.html' title='Moinhos de Vento Gandareses!'/><author><name>Bruno E.

O objecto fotografado é uma simples e ínfima árvore! Mas porquê uma árvore? Que tem ela de significativo ou especial?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Esta árvore tem a particularidade de estar viva e existir! Isto porque durante a construção do muro exterior ao quintal da casa visível em segundo plano, alguém preferiu deixar um intervalo no muro para permitir a permanência da árvore, ao invés de cortá-la! E assim, mais uma árvore permanece viva neste mundo!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;One more tree remains alive...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Today i present two photographs taken in May of 2010, of one tree; somewhere in the hamlet (tiny village) of Cadaval (located in the civil parish of Tocha and Municipality of Cantanhede).&lt;br /&gt;The special feature of this tree, is that it still remains alive and in existence! During the construction of the outside walls of the backyard of this house (in the background), someone decided to let a gap on the wall, to keep the tree there!

A maioria dos outros tipos de moinhos possuem uma forma circular! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;- O Moinho é concebido de forma a que a totalidade da sua estrutura possa rodar na horizontal, de forma a ajustar a posição das velas com a direcção do vento, em determinado momento.&amp;nbsp; Mais uma característica que o diferencia da maior parte dos outros moinhos, nos quais apenas o mastro e o telhado se movimentam para se adequarem à direcção do vento. O moinho é edificado sobre uma pequena elevação artificial de terra (em zonas planas) ou no topo de uma colina / duna. Para possibilitar a rotação, o moinho é construído de uma forma em que apenas três partes móveis estão em contacto com o solo:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; Duas rodas de madeira, as quais se movimentam numa estrutura / carril circular (usualmente construída em pedra calcária, tábuas de madeira ou no caso dos moinhos mais recentes, em cimento).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; Uma grande pedra (por exemplo uma antiga mó), no centro da estrutura circular, a qual serve de base para o eixo de rotação do moinho, igualmente em pedra!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; font-size: large;"&gt;Deixo aqui várias fotografias, tiradas em Março de 2010, Novembro de 2009 e Junho de 2007; para que os leitores possam verificar o modo de funcionamento do moinho e a sua evolução recente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The "Moinho Gandarez" (type of windmill typical of the sub-region of Gândara) of Morros (village located in the civil parish of Bom Sucesso, in the municipality of Figueira da Foz), has been fully restored!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;In March of 2010, during one of my bycicle rides, i had a pleasant surprise, when i verified that one of the few remaining windmills of the zone, has been restored! And i took lots of photographs, with joy! I started to talk with an old man, who was working nearby, asking him if the windmill was fully functional!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The man was the ancient miller (i think), and i take this opportunity to thank him for his kindness, because he &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;quickly &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;offered himself to open the door of the windmill, for i visit it, even if i didn't ask him that! Thanks! He also told me that the windmill has been restaured with the financial support of the "Junta de Freguesia" (civil parish council) of Bom Sucesso!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;This type of windmills has some unique features:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;- The windmills have a small size and are built almost entirely with wood boards, mainly pine tree wood. This region has a sandy soil, almost without stone, and so, wood and adobes were the main raw materials for construction, in the past.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;- They have the shape of an isosceles trapezoid, actually almost triangular, because the building side who face the wind has a very small width, in an empirical aerodynamic design.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;- The entire structure of the windmill was designed to be rotated by the physical strenght of only one man (by the miller), around a central axis, to match the sails with the wind direction! So, only three parts of the windmill are in contact with the ground:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; The rotation axis, formed by one conic stone above an old mill stone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; Two wooden wheels, who rotate in a circular rail structure (usually made of limestone stones, wooden boards, or in concrete (in the most recent windmills)).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;There were many of these windmills in the past, but today only a few remains, mostly of them in ruins. So, i'm very glad with the restoration work of this!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I let here plenty of photographs of this windmill, taken after and before the restoration work;

Com excepção das duas primeiras fotografias, que foram tiradas uns dias antes perto da Lagoa dos Armadouros (ou Lagoa dos Armadoiros); todas as restantes foram tiradas algures entre a Zona Industrial e Complexo Desportivo da Tocha, a localidade das Berlengas, a Lagoa dos Teixoeiros (ou Lagoa da Mata) e a Lagoa da Salgueira!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Aviso aos leitores (leiam por favor)! A grande maioria das espécies de cogumelos que aparecem nas fotografias, não são comestíveis! Algumas delas podem mesmo ser extremamente venenosas! Comer estes cogumelos pode resultar em morte ou num prolongado internamento hospitalar! Existem também relatos de que algumas espécies comestíveis de cogumelos, podem ser perigosas para a saúde, se consumidas em grandes quantidades num intervalo de poucos dias! Para piorar a situação, algumas espécies comestíveis e algumas espécies venenosas, são muito semelhantes externamente entre elas! Por favor não consuma cogumelos de espécies que desconhece ou que foram apanhados por quem não os conhece!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Mushrooms from the forests of Gândara!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;During a day of December of 2009, i went to the forest to gather some mushrooms, of an edible specie who grows there ("Tricholoma Flavovirens")! But this time i took my camera with me and i took some photos of the various species of mushrooms that i saw, during the several kilometers that i walked there! Now i present some of the photos, of mushrooms from different species, with many colours, shapes and sizes! They appear every Autumn in the forests of Gândara (composed mainly of pine trees (mostly "Pinus Pinaster")), usualy after the first rains who appear after some months of dry hot weather!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;But i have to give a warning! Most of the species who appear in the photos, are not edible and some can be extremely poisonous! Eating them can result in death or in a long stay at hospital! To worse the situation, some edible species and some poisonous species, &lt;span class="short_text" id="result_box"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;" title="são muito parecidas umas com as outras"&gt;are very similar to each other&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;! There are also reports that some edible species can be dangerous to the health, if  eaten in large quantities within a few days! If you don't know them, please don't eat them!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;embed flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&amp;amp;noautoplay=1&amp;amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;amp;feat=flashalbum&amp;amp;RGB=0x000000&amp;amp;feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2FBrunoEdSantos%2Falbumid%2F5436885952828976577%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26hl%3Dpt_PT" height="520" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Área onde as fotografias foram tiradas! / &lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Area were the photographs were taken!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;iframe frameborder="0" height="475" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://maps.google.pt/?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;t=h&amp;amp;ll=40.308004,-8.785028&amp;amp;spn=0.03109,0.053129&amp;amp;z=14&amp;amp;output=embed" width="620"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/829788851069137227-4582190649790043169?l=visoesdagandara.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://visoesdagandara.blogspot.com/feeds/4582190649790043169/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=829788851069137227&amp;postID=4582190649790043169' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/829788851069137227/posts/default/4582190649790043169'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/829788851069137227/posts/default/4582190649790043169'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://visoesdagandara.blogspot.com/2010/02/cogumelos-nas-florestas-e-pinhais-da.html' title='Cogumelos nas Florestas e Pinhais da Gândara!'/><author><name>Bruno E.

Um animal que é pouco observado por nós, pois é essencialmente noctívago, costumando passar o dia bem escondido! Mas existem excepções em todas as regras e comportamentos...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Após alguns anos sem ver quaisquer Ouriços no meu quintal, eles voltaram e vi vários em 2009! Em Dezembro de 2009, pela primeira vez, consegui filmar e fotografar um Ouriço jovem, em plena luz do dia! Após cerca de 20 minutos a incomodá-lo, para conseguir recolher material audiovisual (mas sempre sem tocar nele), deixei-o em paz para continuar na sua vida diária! Também coloquei no vídeo algumas outras fotos que tirei a outros Ouriços-Cacheiros durante 2009, todas durante a noite!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;European Hedgehog (Erinaceus Europaeus), in Tocha, Portugal!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Hello!

And in December of 2009, for the first time, i managed to film and photograph one young hedgehog, in broad daylight! After some 20 minutes bothering the hedgehog to take pictures (but without touching him), i let him in peace to continue his daily life! I also inserted in the video some other photos that i took to other hedgehogs during 2009, all at night!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object height="385" width="480"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UHKIcSL5vLA&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0xe1600f&amp;color2=0xfebd01"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UHKIcSL5vLA&amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0xe1600f&amp;color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="320"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jLby68godDk/S1-HSuE9XSI/AAAAAAAAAS0/_0gZe3dCYKc/s1600-h/Ourico2009_Diurno_1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jLby68godDk/S1-HSuE9XSI/AAAAAAAAAS0/_0gZe3dCYKc/s320/Ourico2009_Diurno_1.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jLby68godDk/S1-HZMK-6dI/AAAAAAAAAS8/bNJ7bVc1u-4/s1600-h/Ourico2009_Diurno_2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jLby68godDk/S1-HZMK-6dI/AAAAAAAAAS8/bNJ7bVc1u-4/s320/Ourico2009_Diurno_2.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jLby68godDk/S1-HhPzcfuI/AAAAAAAAATE/hA96DUR9YCM/s1600-h/Ourico2009_Diurno_3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jLby68godDk/S1-HhPzcfuI/AAAAAAAAATE/hA96DUR9YCM/s320/Ourico2009_Diurno_3.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jLby68godDk/S1-HqVmX6WI/AAAAAAAAATM/g-k-VhxsR2M/s1600-h/Ourico2009_05.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jLby68godDk/S1-HqVmX6WI/AAAAAAAAATM/g-k-VhxsR2M/s320/Ourico2009_05.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jLby68godDk/S1-IxDM75MI/AAAAAAAAATU/WqDL9JuaLOU/s1600-h/Ourico2009_01.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jLby68godDk/S1-IxDM75MI/AAAAAAAAATU/WqDL9JuaLOU/s320/Ourico2009_01.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jLby68godDk/S1-I4Izi7YI/AAAAAAAAATc/UtEVLLo3WRk/s1600-h/Ourico2009_02.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jLby68godDk/S1-I4Izi7YI/AAAAAAAAATc/UtEVLLo3WRk/s320/Ourico2009_02.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jLby68godDk/S1-I_WoB6RI/AAAAAAAAATk/h6Ie7-3IdIA/s1600-h/Ourico2009_03.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jLby68godDk/S1-I_WoB6RI/AAAAAAAAATk/h6Ie7-3IdIA/s320/Ourico2009_03.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/829788851069137227-6812048081349671017?l=visoesdagandara.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://visoesdagandara.blogspot.com/feeds/6812048081349671017/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=829788851069137227&amp;postID=6812048081349671017' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/829788851069137227/posts/default/6812048081349671017'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/829788851069137227/posts/default/6812048081349671017'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://visoesdagandara.blogspot.com/2010/01/ouricos-cacheiros-na-tocha.html' title='Ouriços-Cacheiros, na Tocha!'/><author><name>Bruno E.

Essas lagoas são: Lagoa da Vela, Barrinha de Mira, Lagoa de Mira, Lagoa das Braças, Lagoa dos Teixoeiros, Lagoa da Salgueira e Lagoa dos Coadiçais!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;- Lagoas de origem natural, mas quase desaparecidas por via do assoreamento natural e sobretudo da acção humana. Essa acção humana consistiu essencialmente no aterro dessas lagoas durante os últimos dois séculos, para obter terras para a Agricultura. Nestas lagoas a superfície de água é muito reduzida ou inexistente, mas perduram muitos vestígios do seu passado, sendo o mais predominante a flora lagunar característica, formada por plantas aquáticas e árvores, destacando-se os Salgueiros.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;- Lagoas formados por acção humana! Essa acção consistiu em escavar o solo para obtenção de materiais de construção civil ou matérias-primas industriais, tais como areia, argila, saibro, arenitos ou calcário. No caso do calcário, e por inverosímil que possa parecer, o certo é que existem pequenas e dispersas formações calcárias por debaixo do solo maioritariamente arenoso da Gândara! Poderão encontrar cartas geológicas desta zona e outras informações no Museu da Pedra, em Cantanhede!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Algumas destas Lagoas têm sido recuperadas e dotadas de infraestruturas pelos poderes públicos, para permitir o seu uso para actividades de Lazer! Em algumas outras, os seus proprietários privados tiveram o cuidado de aí plantar alguma da vegetação característica das Lagoas naturais, transformando-as na prática em ecossistemas naturais, frequentados sobretudo por aves autóctones e aves migratórias!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="short_text" id="result_box" style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;" title="Mapa com a localização das Lagoas da Gândara, no Google Maps!"&gt;Map showing the location of the Lagoons of Gândara, on Google Maps!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I made a map in the Google Maps, where i put the location of all the lagoons and lakes who exist in the sub-region of Gândara (all of fresh water, with one exception)! In this map, i included three distinct types of lakes:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;- Lakes of natural origin, which are still in good conservation status and occupying an area of several hectares! Those lakes are the Lagoa da Vela, Barrinha de Mira, Lagoa de Mira, Lagoa das Braças, Lagoa dos Teixoeiros, Lagoa da Salgueira and Lagoa dos Coadiçais!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;- Lakes of natural origin, but that almost have disappeared by natural sedimentation and mostly by human activity. The human activity consisted in a land reclamation process, made during the last two centuries, to obtain lands for agriculture.

Someone left an damaged armchair, near a signboard belonging to the city hall of Cantanhede; who forbids citizens from putting  garbage here, including furniture! This signboard was been vandalized, which included the change of the word "COIMA" (who means a Fine, in portuguese), for COnA! "Cona" is a bad word in portuguese slang, who means vagina!

Apesar de serem das primeiras fotografias realizadas por mim, há quase 3 anos atrás, só muito recentemente é que as tenho vindo a seleccionar e editar!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;A Lagoa da Vela é uma lagoa de água doce, situada na freguesia do Bom Sucesso, pertencente ao concelho da Figueira da Foz e ao distrito de Coimbra. Com uma área de cerca de 65-70 hectares (161-173 acres), é a maior lagoa natural da sub-região da Gândara! Esta lagoa, localizada a cerca de 7 km a Este do Oceano Atlântico, tem aproximadamente a forma de um longo e estreito rectângulo com orientação Norte-Sul e está rodeada por pinhais (ao Norte, Sul e Oeste) e por terras agrícolas (a Oeste).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;O nome da lagoa é um mistério, perdido no tempo! Algumas pessoas dão a explicação de que, há alguns séculos atrás, a lagoa estava ainda ligada ao mar por algum tipo de canal natural, o que permitia que os &lt;b&gt;veleiros (barcos à vela)&lt;/b&gt;, navegassem até à lagoa! Na realidade, a Geologia diz que há cerca de dois ou três milénios atrás, a lagoa fazia parte do mar, tendo depois começado um lento e contínuo processo de separação, com a formação de um cordão litoral separador devido à acumulação de areias, o qual foi ganhando consistência e formando dunas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Lagoa da Vela at sunset and dusk, in December of 2006!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Today i present a set of photos that i took in Lagoa da Vela, at sunset and dusk, in December of 2006! Just very recently i started to make a seleccion and edition, of the pictures that i took in the last three years! And i still have some thousands, to select and edit!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The Lagoon of Vela is a fresh water lake, located in the “freguesia” (civil parish) of Bom Sucesso, belonging to the municipality of Figueira da Foz and to the district of Coimbra. With an area of roughly 65 to 70 hectares (161 to 173 acres), is the the biggest natural lagoon of the sub-region of Gândara! This lagoon, located approximatelly 7 km to East from the Atlantic Ocean (4,35 miles), have roughly the shape of a long and narrow rectangle, with direction north-south,&amp;nbsp; and is surrounded by pine forests (in the North, South and West) and agricultural lands (in East).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The word “Vela” has two different meanings in the Portuguese: sail or candle! But the name of the lagoon is a mystery, lost in time! Some people give an explanation that, some centuries ago, the lagoon was still connected to the sea by some kind of natural channel, what would have allowed the sailboats to navigate, reaching the lagoon from the sea! In reality, the Geology says that some two or three millenniums ago, this lagoon was part of sea! But became separated from the Atlantic Ocean, through the centuries, because of the slow accumulation of sands and formation of dunes!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Reparei que era um exemplar de um insecto de uma espécie que desconheço, e que apenas avistei umas 3 ou 4 vezes na minha vida! Desta vez corri a casa para ir buscar a máquina fotográfica! Era um daqueles insectos que emitem luz (animais bioluminescentes), conhecidos por nomes como pirilampos, vaga-lumes, etc...! Apesar de ter procurado pela Internet, não consegui descobrir a que espécie pertencia esse insecto! Por isso, se alguém souber de que espécie se trata, agradeço que deixe aqui a informação nos comentários!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Aqui ficam algumas imagens, editadas a partir de 3 fotografias originais!

Esta lagoa localiza-se na Freguesia da Tocha e Concelho de Cantanhede! Posteriormente irei colocar no blog mais informações acerca desta lagoa!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Utilizando como ponto de partida esta fotografia original, fiz-lhe várias edições e manipulações digitais, utilizando o Photoscape, um software freeware de edição de imagem. Quem gostar de fotografia, que aproveite, pois o Photoscape é de borla e muito útil! Apresento em baixo algumas das imagens resultantes:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Above is a photo that i took in the end of an afternoon of September 2009, in Lagoa dos Teixoeiros, aka Lagoa da Mata; which is a small&amp;nbsp; natural fresh water lagoon, located in the civil parish of Tocha, belonging to the municipality of Cantanhede and district of Coimbra! In the future i will post here more complete informations about this lagoon!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;" /&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Starting with the above photography, i made some editions and manipulations, just for experimentation and fun! I used the image editing software Photoscape! This software is freeware and very useful, so i recomend it for people who like amateur photography, just like me!

Nesse ano a Lagoa dos Teixoeiros secou quase por completo, tendo sido escavado um fosso artificial na sua parte nordeste, para possibilitar a sobrevivência de parte dos peixes!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Note: I think, without 100% sure, that these satelite images, were taken during the summer of 2005! During this hot and dry year, a severe drought occurred in Portugal, during wich the Lagoon dried almost completly!

De tão comum que ele é, que muitas vezes está perto ou passa ao pé de nós e quase já nem reparamos nele! É popularmente conhecido por designações como Sardanisca, Sardaneta ou Lagartixa; embora para os eruditos das ciências seja designado por Lagartixa-Ibérica (&lt;i&gt;Podarcis Hispanica&lt;/i&gt;)! Quando os virem, deixem-nos vivos e em paz, e terão a recompensa futura de serem menos importunados por moscas e mosquitos!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Today i choose to publish here, some photos i took in December of 2006, in a olive tree from my backyard! These photos are from an animal very commom in the Gandara, whose scientific name is Iberian Wall Lizard (&lt;i&gt;Podarcis Hispanica&lt;/i&gt;)! But here, people usually know this specie by designations like "Sardanisca", "Sardaneta" or "Lagartixa"! These small animals are seen very often in walls or stones exposed to the sun, or moving very quickly in the ground! If you ever travel to Portugal, please let these harmless animals alive and in peace, and as reward, you will be less annoyed by flies or mosquitoes!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jLby68godDk/StolVK4SMCI/AAAAAAAAAEo/jjH5jV-61Pg/s1600-h/Sardaniscas2006_Dez1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jLby68godDk/StolVK4SMCI/AAAAAAAAAEo/jjH5jV-61Pg/s320/Sardaniscas2006_Dez1.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jLby68godDk/StolrrlE_nI/AAAAAAAAAEw/R-9qzJDvIFY/s1600-h/Sardaniscas2006_Dez2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jLby68godDk/StolrrlE_nI/AAAAAAAAAEw/R-9qzJDvIFY/s320/Sardaniscas2006_Dez2.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jLby68godDk/Stol2zw1NyI/AAAAAAAAAE4/dTBCx9BSy7s/s1600-h/Sardaniscas2006_Dez3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jLby68godDk/Stol2zw1NyI/AAAAAAAAAE4/dTBCx9BSy7s/s320/Sardaniscas2006_Dez3.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jLby68godDk/SveupUcvFGI/AAAAAAAAALI/QuifmF5Fj3A/s1600-h/Sardaniscas2006_Dez4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jLby68godDk/SveupUcvFGI/AAAAAAAAALI/QuifmF5Fj3A/s320/Sardaniscas2006_Dez4.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/829788851069137227-8775454564187768384?l=visoesdagandara.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://visoesdagandara.blogspot.com/feeds/8775454564187768384/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=829788851069137227&amp;postID=8775454564187768384' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/829788851069137227/posts/default/8775454564187768384'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/829788851069137227/posts/default/8775454564187768384'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://visoesdagandara.blogspot.com/2009/10/eles-andam-ai-e-nos-quase-ja-nem.html' title='Eles andam aí e nós quase já nem reparamos neles!'/><author><name>Bruno E.

Nos últimos dois séculos, verificou-se um intenso processo contínuo de aterro e recuperação de terras pelo homem, para obter terrenos para habitação ou agricultura; que só terá parado há uns 10/20 anos atrás (???)&amp;nbsp; e que diminuiu de forma considerável a área ocupada pela Barrinha de Mira!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Some videos that i made some months ago, about the Barrinha de Mira, using photographs and videos taken by me in 2007 and 2009!

This process was accelerated in the last two centuries, by an intense land reclamation by man, to get and convert land for habitation or agriculture! Also, some transportation and leisure infrastructures were made!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object height="385" width="480"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Oi2SdG4E_Lc&amp;hl=pt-br&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0xe1600f&amp;color2=0xfebd01"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Oi2SdG4E_Lc&amp;hl=pt-br&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0xe1600f&amp;color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Versão Curta / &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;

This is my first message in this blog, Visões da Gândara (Visions of Gândara)! I also have a website in construction, related with this blog (&lt;a href="http://visoesdagandara.no.sapo.pt/" style="color: #351c75;" target="a_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Visões da Gândara&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;), but still without an english version!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I lived almost all my life, since birth and childhood, in the Gândara, a small traditional sub-region inserted in the larger portuguese region of Beira Litoral! Is a piece of land that i like, from wich i have good knowledge, and so, i want to share some of its aspects with you, dear visitor!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This tradicional sub-region was historically agrarian, rural and underdeveloped (and so a big source of emigration for other countries and regions), but, in the last 30-40 years, faced some enourmous transformations and changes, as also happened with Portugal in a larger scale! Today Gândara is in an intermediate situation; with some, but still far from full development! And as the whole world, is also facing the world globalization process, who have positive aspects, but also tends to standardize everything, from Economics to the Culture!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the Gandâra is a sub-region in an intermediate development situation, is a place of contrasts; who still retains many of its traditional, unique, original, historical, interesting or beautifull aspects! This is the "old and new" Gândara that i will show in this blog, through personal texts, ideas, photographs or videos!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: large;"&gt;Imagem que representa a &lt;b&gt;Localização Aproximada da Sub-Região da Gândara&lt;/b&gt; (poderá estar&amp;nbsp; correcta ou incorrecta, de acordo com as ideias ou diferentes sentimentos de pertença dos vários leitores).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"&gt;Image that represents the &lt;b&gt;Approximate Location of the Sub-Region of Gândara&lt;/b&gt; in&amp;nbsp; the Portuguese territory.
