35° and rising. Very little tad of breeze not enough to cool anything. Shimmer of heat rises from roofs. Local forecast has it for 38°+ this weekend. Mid September. Swallows and Martins still around. Scores of stork nests of which 2 occupied, one each, the rest empty. Nearest city is 20 miles away and it has the major oil/facility and port. Pipes, tubes, transporting some sort gas which must be kept at -150° or else the gas will ignite, running above the ground mostly. Just imagine... a tsunami... #environment #oil #sines #alentejo #birds #storks #nest #sparrow #dove #forecast #photography #smartphonephotography
