A Room with a View

A small room looks out on the Douro Valley. Inside the room are a table, some stools and what looks like a saddle hanging from the ceiling

This barren room overlooking the breathtaking Douro Valley belongs to the Quinta da Roêda vineyard, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Portugal’s wine country. As you step inside, you’ll notice a quaint wooden table and stools, inviting you to sit and take in the stunning view while enjoying a glass of the vineyard’s finest port. But the most curious thing hanging from the ceiling catches your eye: a saddle, giving the room a rustic and adventurous touch. It’s the perfect spot to relax and soak up the vineyard’s charming ambiance.

The window of a restaurant with an overhanging cover. The street is refected in the window and a sign for Tsingtao Beer floats in the window.

Walking down a street in San Francisco and this sign for Tsingtao Beer caught my eye.

This was taken in 2007, during an Automattic meetup, which later became known as a Grand Meetup. In 2007, the company was so small, it wasn’t so Grand, but it was Great!

Spanish Gentleman

A man dressed in a suit is an unusual sight when all around him are dressed casually.

In Tenerife we went on a whale and dolphin tour. While we saw a few those animals, my photos of their backs and fins breaking the water aren’t the most exciting. Here’s another group who were doing the same.
