By the river

Saturday afternoon, South bank of the Tagus. People gather there to meet, eat and drink.

Some people prefer to be left alone. A moment of rest to settle ideas and feelings

Others  choose to dance. A group of friends, or more probably an informal dancing class. They bring their own music and dance in pairs. One of them directs the others, giving instructions before each music sometimes correcting their movements. They seem to take this quite seriously – but they share and communicate a lot of joy.

Some people make and play their own music…

… while others sit and talk, probably about the good old times
