The natural environment of Pateira de Fermentelos is amazing. There, we have a huge mirror of water, the largest natural pond of Europe, and an autoctone natural habitat. These last years, there is an invasive acquatic plant species (Jacinto-de-água) that is infesting the pond and endangering the environment. Even, this old boat has been taken by them. It was naturally repurposed...

Pateira de Espinhel
Pateira is a good photographic spot, especially when you have mist covering the river. That misty atmosphere is what makes your photographs look magical.
Last Saturday I went there very early in the morning to see the sun rising, but nothing apparently happened. There was no mist, and even the sun was hiding behind a flat sky.

Winter is a difficult period for me. I always feel a little depressed. I have to make the most of photography and stay close my Flickr Friends to cheer up a little... :)) Let's make it happen!!!
