Photographer's Note
▼ Texto em português mais abaixo. ▼
This is in Piódão, province of Beira Litoral, Central Portugal. It is the same schist village of my previous post (Schist village | 1 | Aldeia de xisto).
Almost all the houses in Piódão are made of schist, including the roof shingles and the surface of the streets, as you can see here. Piódão is one of the most interesting villages in Portugal, hidden in the mountains of Serra do Açor.
As I wrote in my previous post, the colour of the schist stones may change very much with the light, during the day. Here you see that in the same moment. This photo has no post-processing, but cropping and resize.
Appr. location: Localização aproximada: 40.2293144, -7.8251973.
Aqui é Piódão, província da Beira Litoral, centro de Portugal. É a mesma aldeia de xisto da minha foto anterior (Schist village | 1 | Aldeia de xisto).
Quase todas as casas no Piódão são feitas de xisto, incluindo as telhas e a superfície das ruas, como se pode ver aqui. Piódão é uma das aldeias mais interessantes em Portugal, escondida nos montes da Serra do Açor.
Como escrevi na nota anterior, a cor das pedras de xisto pode mudar muito com a luz, durante o dia. Aqui vê-se isso no mesmo instante. Esta foto não tem pós-processamento, para além de corte e redimensionamento.

Olá Francisco
Um espetáculo essa aldeia. A impressão é que, vendo as fotos, viajamos para a Idade Média. Perfeita nitidez.
Abraços
