Eu sinto a tua falta. literally. "I feel your absence".

Saudade (singular) or Saudades (plural) (pronounced [sawˈdade] in Galician, pronounced [sawˈdadɨ] in European Portuguese and [sawˈdadʒi] or [sawˈdadi] in Brazilian Portuguese) is a Galician and Portuguese word for a feeling of nostalgic longing for something or someone that one was fond of and which is lost. It often carries a fatalist tone and a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might really never return.

I created this photo blog, because like many others. In my life saudade is a lingering feeling, I express it through my African experience and the black experience. My photos are memories of home ( Quelimane, Mozambique & Africa), chega de saudade...Enough homesickness.

Tchau and Obrigada,
