Green horizons / Horizontes verdes


Imaginary as usual, this work was based on a small trip I made in the Easter Sunday morning across the region of Fafe and Vieira do Minho, and on the principal I retained from there: Beautiful mountains in the background - especially my beloved Gerês - villages surrounded by very green meadows, the granite of houses, churches, walls and other auxiliary buildings, the same one that could be seen everywhere in the shape of colossal rocks, not to mention the tiny watermills, often abandoned, taking advantage of any stream, however small it was, from the water that abounded there.
Este trabalho, imaginário como sempre, foi baseado num passeio que dei na manhã de Domingo de Páscoa pela região de Fafe e Vieira do Minho, e no principal que dela retive: Belas montanhas em pano de fundo – com destaque para a minha querida Geresada – aldeias rodeadas de prados muito verdes, o granito das casas, igrejas, muros e demais construções auxiliares, esse mesmo que por todo o lado podia ser visto sob a forma de descomunais rochas, para não mencionar os minúsculos moinhos, quase sempre abandonados, a aproveitarem qualquer curso, por mais pequeno que fosse, da água que por ali abundava.
