Flora's Piece
Flora's Piece
A walk in the Serras d'Aire e Candeeiros!
One moment we're walking on beaten earth furrowed by water.
The next, we're trekking through the forest, along narrow paths designed by the nocturnal passage of wild boar.
Between the oaks and the crags, the vegetation thickens and multiplies in blankets of green tones, with colourful hints of various flowers here and there.
It rained, but now the sun is shining, spreading bits of light through the cutouts in the branches of the trees, through the most resilient leaves.
The scent of the wet earth mixes with the freshness of the vegetation, where rosemary, almost always in bloom, predominates.
The light flickers quietly in the drops that drip slowly down the stillest branches and the most delicate flowers.
All the senses travel along the trail in a harmonious composition of the nature of these mountains of air and light...
