The tattoos on her skin are not just embellishments; they are symbols of strength, rebellion, and personal triumphs. Each mark contributes to the narrative of her life, creating a visual poetry that speaks of experiences, challenges, and triumphs.

There’s a magnetic allure to her, a beauty that goes beyond conventional standards. The toughness in her demeanor is a declaration of her resilience, a visual anthem of her ability to navigate life’s complexities with grace and strength. In her nudity, she stands as a living canvas, an embodiment of beauty, resilience, and the artistry of self-expression.

Kalahari desert

In 2013 I had the opportunity to visit South Africa and our first destination was the Kalahari Desert. During a bio-break, I got out of the car and was surprised when a spotted hyena suddenly appeared just 20 metres from me. Although it was a potentially dangerous encounter, I remained calm and appreciated the beauty of nature and this wild animal.

Spotted hyenas are known for their powerful bite force, which is about 920 kiloponds (kp). By comparison, lions have a bite force of 650 kp and German shepherds have a bite force of 230 kp. Spotted hyenas are also social animals, living in packs of up to 130 individuals.

Despite the potential danger, I was relieved when the hyena eventually ran away, allowing me to safely continue my journey.

A short visit to Almada

A few days ago I had the chance to make a quick visit to Almada. Very interesting area, also a bit scary, there wasn’t a single person on the street, but I will definitely go back.
