Summer nights

A panoramic nightscape, taken from the trail that leads to the submerged village of Vilarinho das Furnas, in the heart of Peneda-Gerês National Park. Even in a clear summer night, the dam’s reservoir and the surrounding autochthonous forests fill the valley with moist air, creating clouds that quickly dissipate with the wind. While this region is fairly deep in Homem River’s valley, when facing West, light pollution from the nearby villages and the large city of Braga dominates the horizon.

A shinny Serra Amarela

Still hanging in the darkness, the western region of Gerês Mountains makes the foreground of this perspective, while a very shinny Amarela Mountain Range makes the background. Snow has returned to the northern mountains.

Fica aqui uma perspectiva sobre a região Oeste da Serra do Gerês em primeiro plano, ainda sob a escuridão; com uma Serra Amarela bastante iluminada ao fundo.
