The photographer (and photojournalist) Luis Ramos walked the beaches of the Portuguese mainland, during three summers and three winters, and noted the difference between the absence and the spaces filled. He called it "Time Lapse".
The project consists of 30 diptychs, of which 15 now decided to exhibit at the Palace of Gallery of the Municipal Museum of Tavira, where you can see from yesterday until next April 2.

The pictures were taken initially and then in summer and winter. The idea of contrast appeared in the Prague metro station: "I photographed the season when people were entering the subway, and then the place emptied, and I began to think of this duplicity with the places that appear at different times . (Luis Ramos)
