OBLIQUE ANGLE

Looking at this photo you would say that there are here at least two different kinds of rock, right? Well, …, wrong! All of it is granite, whose natural colour is the dark grey of the ones on the right.
What makes them look completely different is the sunrise light! On the left the rocks are receiving the early morning’s light, with oblique sunrays warming the scene, whereas the ones on the left are still in the shadow.
Interestingly, due to the high altitude, two cloud layers are present here. One below the POV and the other well above, creating in the middle a “window” of blue sky.

Serra da Estrela (Star Mountain) is Portugal’s mainland highest mountain. At 1,993 metres at its highest point in Torre, Serra da Estrela is an area of rare landscape beauty. You can take advantage of the moments of communion with nature to discover the diversity of plants and birds and the flocks of sheep herded by Estrela dogs from the breed named after the mountain.
In cold weather, Serra da Estrela is the only place in Portugal where you can try ski, or go sledging, snowboarding or ride a snowmobile. Albeit small, there are several runs with support infrastructure, as well as artificial snow runs for skiing at any time of the year.
This natural park is excellent for trekking, horse-riding or mountain biking. It boasts some 375km of marked trails of varying degrees of difficulty.

A new species for my prairie bee and wasp species set, with a confirmed iNaturalist ID. This is the only bee I've seen around here with some reddish-colored fuzz. I've looked for more of these in subsequent days but didn't find any.

Architecture in popular tourist resorts could seem dull, while at second look light, pattern or detail can be fascinating.
