A little mountain garden
On the Eastern side of Mont Gelé, a little plain comes to live with little streams of melting snow. The local calls it Jardin Japonais, as if perfectly designed by intention and not just sheer erosion. The latter holds true.

Chasing butterflies
Chasing butterflies
A living painting! I find its scientific name quite appropriate, a daughter of a Greek river god.
Peacock butterfly, lepidoptera, aglaisio / inachisio
And this one is a little sunset by itself.

Let’s hope she doesn’t go for her worst.

The Burren
Millions of years ago, a gentle giant was swirling the Earth with its finger as if it was cake dough. Swipe left for the panorama.

Bandon River
There are rare stretches of Bandon River that have remained untouched to human endeavor. This bend along the river path is one of such spots. In the Summer, at sunset, the Sun perfectly aligns with the valley and shines it´s light over the flowing waters.
This also seems to be the favorite spot of a very keen, yet elusive, fisher… a feathered one!

Don’t mind me, I’m just a stick
The season of heat and bugs is at its peak. Getting close to the ground and giving it a bit of attention, you can find a myriad of little crawling, jumping and flying buggers all over the place. Easily mistaken for a branch, I found this one moving around. The stick bugs are absolutely fragile. Their healthy presence is also an indicator of the absence of pesticides in the surroundings. While simple in its shape, it remains an amazing and curious form of life.

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.
