My dad's family comes from the small village of Peniche, Portugal. It's so small that it is often overlooked by tourists and even those who reside in the country themselves. I visited this hidden village for the first time in August of last year. Coming from the city, I was shocked to see how tranquil and old-fashioned this town had remained. It was quite literally a nice change of scenery. I guess that’s why I took this picture. I wanted to feel like I was somehow a part of this little town. I wanted to immerse myself in my Portuguese heritage, that I never got to truly experience growing up. So I set up my tripod, sat myself on the edge of the ledge, and just watched the waves crashing below.
