Still from time-lapse of Lagoa de Santo André, Portugal. See the time-lapse here together with other scenes from that trip to Portugal: https://vimeo.com/49781651. It felt like that beach where Ellie Arroway meets her father in Contact. I slept on the beach from 1AM till 6AM while the camera was shooting.
