Peneda-Gerês National Park

Photographs taken in the Peneda do Gêres Natural Park. I used Ilford HP5 Plus film developed with ID11. Printing on Ilford Multigrade FB paper.

"Peneda-Gerês National Park occupies an area of 69,594.48 ha and extends from Mourela to Castro Laboreiro plateaus. This area also includes the mountains of Peneda, Soajo, Amarela and Gerês. This is a mountainous region, composed mainly of granite, with points of high altitude where the effects of the latest glaciation can be seen. Deep and embedded valleys support a dense hydrographic network.

PNPG has a remarkable botanical diversity - woods, forests, riparian vegetation and peatlands in addition to wet meadows - with special importance to the varied rare and endemic species. PNPG is home to some of the most important oak forests in Portugal as well as interesting semi-natural habitats, a diversity of animal species (235 vertebrates) with varying status including endemic (gold-striped salamander), endangered (Iberian wolf, Iberian wild goat) and with limited distribution species (whinchat). In the agricultural areas the prairies and "prados de lima" (seminatural humid meadows) stand out." Text taken from the official Natural.pt website.




For personal organization, I put all my analogue photographs in a frame.
