There, the map begins to fill with curves and the horizon ceases to be flat, with the road slowly climbing, between dense patches of trees and clearings where the granite appears as if peeking out, without a monument to focus the gaze on, only a succession of mountain after mountain. ##### PT Foi ali, perdida pelas serras do Gerês, mais localizada pela zona de Vieira do Minho que captei estas fotografias que hoje partilho convosco. Ali, o mapa começa a encher-se de curvas e o horizonte deixa de ser plano, com a estrada a subir devagar, entre manchas densas de árvores e clareiras onde o granito aparece como se estivesse a espreitar, sem um monumento para concentrar o olhar, somente sucessão de montanha atrás de montanha. --- ![IMG_3066.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/onyfest/246apNvqsBkKytpbqdJPPexWnEELUPNiseRWqK3mAway7ajSxcvw6XXnXwfPMMB4zoKCL.jpg) ![IMG_3065.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/onyfest/2458FzFuUeHcq8RJLJi2nRwMrCvGhgQG6rcMnuJN32avn56djFSwxLY4N3ksnbdCj64RJ.jpg) ![Untitled-1.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/onyfest/EnymeWrmhSU78wMzJahA3HNMn7fja3hxMQGfPEyMEZJM3KLTfXNA89yMUNpMgmZyvpY.png) I climbed to several high points throughout the day, without any hurry to arrive at a specific place. What interested me was the open view. Up there, the wind was constant, cold, but clear. It carried the dry smell of low vegetation, of the broom, of the earth warmed by the sun. The sky was clear, with white clouds. In the distance, the mountains succeeded one another in bluish layers, each more diffuse than the previous one. Between them, small, almost invisible villages, lines of road, one or two telecommunications poles that insisted on reminding us of the century we are in. ##### PT Subi a vários pontos altos ao longo do dia, sem pressa de chegar a um lugar certo. O que me interessava era a vista aberta. Lá em cima, o vento era constante, frio mas limpo. Trazia o cheiro seco da vegetação rasteira, da giesta, da terra aquecida pelo sol. O céu estava limpo, com nuvens brancas. À distância, as serras sucediam-se em camadas azuladas, cada uma mais difusa do que a anterior. Entre elas, pequenas aldeias quase invisíveis, linhas de estrada, um ou outro poste de telecomunicações que insistia em lembrar o século em que estamos. --- ![IMG_3068.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/onyfest/243WKJ2gJKpWoSsEZVyPaGBmBp5GtPt1uSzdzE6AEehGRNtfoWDydTxgr7hFSpppZ7sSd.jpg) ![Untitled-1.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/onyfest/EnymeWrmhSU78wMzJahA3HNMn7fja3hxMQGfPEyMEZJM3KLTfXNA89yMUNpMgmZyvpY.png) What impressed me most was the scale. There's a sense of space that isn't easily found. The granite rocks scattered across the slopes seem like sleeping giants, rounded by time, perched without apparent order. In the middle of them, patches of green and brown create an irregular mosaic. It's not a docile landscape. It's beautiful, but it doesn't offer itself. It forces us to stop, to adjust our gaze. ##### PT O que mais me impressionou foi a escala. Há uma sensação de espaço que não se encontra facilmente. As rochas graníticas espalhadas pelas encostas parecem gigantes adormecidos, arredondadas pelo tempo, pousadas sem ordem aparente. No meio delas, manchas verdes e castanhas criam um mosaico irregular. Não é uma paisagem dócil. É bonita, mas não se oferece. Obriga-nos a parar, a ajustar o olhar. --- ![IMG_3056.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/onyfest/243BZpm6tJAMUGbHKyBdLEM9pQ768m2sRaWfy5xYmxB8WvP9pKyiUcgH6T1YQJ1XxowJM.jpg) ![IMG_3055.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/onyfest/23wWk99Sk2Pc41QYBmTNV4gkQ3Ush4smeRFEzw5aaZ8dAuqM3v5 […]
