Description The Vigilant


When no land was secure, this stone-made giants assured that the next day wouldn't be made of captivity and suffering. Strategically placed, these strongholds were the ones who held a country's name and honour during times of war.

Fortunately we are in times of peace, and it's amazing to step on the luxurious grass, and hear the wind while gazing such gorgeous castle. I can hear the church's bells far away, a child laughter near, and the sound of the sheeps right in front of me.

Yet... the sense of respect is omnipresent, and the scent of bravery still lives here...


This is Castelo do Lindoso in the north of Portugal, on Serra do Gerês.

Amazing...
Só uma pequena correcção...o Castelo de Lindoso não está inserido na Serra do Gerês, mas sim em plena Serra Amarela.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Inebriantia In reply to Ludos [2007-11-17 16:13:37 +0000 UTC]

Tens toda a razão. Regra geral chamamos Serra do Gerês ao Parque nacional da Peneda Gerês, e isso não está correcto.

Ele não parou, mas que ele é mais denso, intenso e vagaroso nestes locais lá isso é.

Obrigado.

Sim tem algo de solene não é, parece que o prório passar do tempo ritualiza-nos , gostei mesmo da fotografia .

Inebriantia In reply to Andirilien [2007-10-23 01:27:07 +0000 UTC]

Ora nem mesmo. Há quem diga que os rituais são elementos ultrapassados, quando no fundo são os rituais que marcam a passagem do tempo e lhe dão um significado.

Este trabalho é uma mudança refrescante na sequência do que tens apresentado. Não digo que não gosto dos trabalhos anteriores, mas a questão é que usas sempre tons muito quentes, algumas vezes saturados e isso acaba por não prender tanto a atenção. Neste registo há um equilíbrio latente e respira-se uma espécie de paz, apesar de o céu ser um pouco ameaçador. É impossível dizer que não a este convite ao bucolismo...
