[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The assortment of colours is due to several species from the Ericaceae family (heather) and also from an endemic (particularly in Iberia) wild Leguminosea, the Pterospartum tridentatum (carqueija), appreciated for culinary purposes and for infusions (acknowledged diuretic and anti-oxidative properties).
The picture was taken near the village of Alturas do Barroso (Boticas), as the goats were climbing the mountain, looking for fresher food. The Barroso area benefits from a good reputation related to meat and dairy products, and the breeding of cattle and goats is still almost free of processed food and usually subject to communitarian habits.

Well done. Perhaps would be better somewhat farther from the goats, to see the first ones smaller.

Uma zona lindíssima de Portugal, aqui muito bem representada nesta bela e colorida foto; só é pena haver, em minha opinião, um pouco de desfoque e definição, o que prejudica um pouco o resultado final. Mas não deixa de ser um bom trabalho!

Impressionante esta foto... O título levou-me imediatamente a associar o colorido da vegetação a uma peça de lã ou malha da famosa marca... Grande sacada! Parabéns! Miguel.

Salut Beijo,
Très belle photo.
Tu imagines la qualité du lait de ces chèvres qui mangent des fleurs toute la journée!
