Two workers remove an oak tree bark from the tree on a woodland in Ponte de Sor, Portugal on Wednesday, June 18, 2008. The oak tree is usually cut by two men. The upper limbs are cut by a man, with the aid of a ladder, and the trunk is cut by the other man. At the end of each day, on average, each man cuts about twenty trees. The cork cutting, called stripping, is a very delicate handmade process, because to avoid harming the tree trunk, a precise force must be exercised to cut the bark. The Oak tree lives between 150 to 200 years and its harvest interval is of nine years. Each tree will have on average, during its life, sixteen harvests. The oak tree woodlands have also a special importance in the Iberian ecosystem, since over 40 bird species, like the Black Stork, Eurasian Black Vulture and the Spanish Imperial Eagle, depend on them. Sustained in the oak tree woodlands is also the Iberian Lynx, which has been considered the most endangered cat species in the world. The Iberian Lynx makes use of the oak tree woodlands for its survival needs. The worldwide growing search trend for environmental friendly products, the cork proven qualities and applicability has boosted, economically, this activity, offering about 15.000 jobs. In Portugal, the average production is about 190.000 tons (418,878,298 pounds) per year, which generates about 550 million euros and corresponds to 54% of the worldwide production. Being the world's largest producer, with 33% of the world's oak woddlands, Portugal has about 725.000 hectares (2,799.2406 square miles) of oak tree forests, being the second largest tree specie forested area in the country. A report issued by the World Wide Foundation (WWF), in London, UK, on May 15, 2006, alerts for the danger of a possible 3/4 loss of the Oak tree forests worldwide within ten years, threatening the economical and environmental crisis. WWF warns that up to two million hectares of cork oak forests (an area about the size of Switzerland) will be put i

Two men harvest the vineyards at Quinta da Vista Alegre during the harvesting time, Portugal on Saturday, Oct 7, 2006. The harvesting in Douro starts by the beginning of September and ends by the first weeks of October. People who do the grapes' harvesting have to deal with extreme working conditions, from high heat to extremely difficult schistous rocky paths, heavy loads and all day long being bent to pick the grapes manually. Despite these difficulties, men and women, keep singing traditional Portuguese songs while they work, contrasting with the silence of the high hillsides and breath taking landscapes of the Douro valley.
Jun 03, 2009 - Benavente, Portugal - Three WT9 Dynamic aircrafts make a final low level flight in formation, over the Benavente airfield, before they head north and start their flight towards Austria where they will participate on the WT9 Fly-in gathering.Four portuguese ultralight aircrafts, will participate on the WT9 Dynamic Fly-in international event, that will gather over 200 aircrafts of this model, in Austria on the first days of June 2009. The 8 member crew squad (two by aircraft) will fly for about 4 days, from Benavente airfield - Portugal, to Zell Amm See airfield in Austria returning to Benavente. The squad will fly, always in formation and on sight, a total of 4700km (2500 nautical miles), VFR (Visual Flight Rules), at an average altitude of about 1500ft (450m) and on some points of the course reaching the 7.000 ft (2,133m). The flight will be done over Portugal, Spain, France, Germany and Austria, crossing the Pyrenees and the Alps. These 3rd generation ultralight aircrafts, with an autonomy of 1.000 km (540 nautical miles), 100hp engines, capable of reaching the speed of 300km/h (186 miles/h), will, however, deal with several challenges, including the one that may force the squad to land - bad weather, like heavy rains, thunderstorms or string gusty winds. Pilots and co-pilots, all portuguese, are people with that come from different areas of activity - from professional commercial jet pilots to flight instructors and business men, all sharing the same passion for flying and especially these 3rd generation ultra-light aircrafts

........................................ during the Carnation Revolution celebrations, Portugal on Tuesday, Apr. 25, 2006. Portugal celebrates 32 years of freedom and 30 over the first Portuguese free elections. The Carnation Revolution changed the Portuguese regime from an authoritarian dictatorship to a liberal democracy after a two-year process of a Left-wing semi-military administration. Although government forces killed four people before surrendering, the revolution was unusual in that the revolutionaries did not use direct violence to achieve their goals. The population, holding red carnations, convinced the regime soldiers not to resist. The soldiers readily swapped their bullets for flowers.
