Tal qual peças desencontradas de um desses puzzles de 1000

forma simples e inexorável conquistarem por completo o planeta na forma de
líquens?… Da tundra ártica, passando pelas mais altas montanhas, por tórridos

As zonas húmidas são vastos depósitos de biodiversidade. Para além da profusão de vertebrados que albergam, sustentam uma miríade de espécies de invertebrados que vão suportando toda a cadeia alimentar. Quando fotografo nestas zonas fico maravilhado com a variedade de vida que nelas encontro. Como que num jogo de ironias fotografei dois invertebrados numa só imagem; uma Donzelinha <i>Calopteryx xanthostoma</i> e uma pequena aranha que se abrigava na face inferior da folha onde esta pousava. </div>

Depois de vários anos de trabalho árduo, a Serra da Freita em jeito de recompensa resolveu agraciar-me e ao João Petronilho com a publicação de um volume encadernado, com as nossas memórias visuais desta montanha... É hoje que é dado a conhecer o livro "A Serra Encantada", o corolário do Projecto que levou o mesmo nome. Agradeço em meu nome e em nome do João Petronilho a todos os que nos apoiaram, ajudaram e incentivaram! Sem eles provavelmente não teríamos chegado ao fim deste caminho... E um enorme agradecimento à Montanha, à nossa "A Serra Encantada"; a Serra da Freita!</div>

Foi com uma imagem simples e bastante minimalista, que a ideia de criar um projeto acerca do património natural da Serra da Freita, consolidou-se e aprofundou raízes nas nossa almas, na do Petronilho e na minha. Depois de uma primeira visita, sem qualquer objetivo ulterior em Maio de 2008, em realizei esta "Ovelhar", decidimos em conjunto fazer aquilo que seria em primeira análise um "Ensaio Fotográfico sobre o Património Natural da Serra da Freita".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Decidimos, em Junho de 2008 no Poço da Cruz, que o trabalho teria uma divisão em 4 capítulos, a saber as 4 estações do ano. Inspirados por Vivaldi com as suas magníficas "4 Stagioni" e pela prosa de Soeiro Gomes em "Esteiros", dividimos o projeto e todo o trabalho tendo por base esta simples premissa; acompanhar a Sazonalidade da montanha. Comprometemo-nos a seguir esta ideia e a criar um trabalho que fosse poético e de certa forma uma narrativa das existências Serranas, das vidas de plantas e animais que vivem nesta montanha...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Assim foi decidido, mesmo antes de saber se iriamos publicar um livro, ter uma exposição alusiva ou até mesmo um blog, que todos os meses durante os dois anos que inicialmente foram definidos como prazo para o trabalho de campo que visitaríamos a Serra pelo menos 2 vezes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
O trabalho de campo, daquilo que em Janeiro de 2009 passaria a ser o "A Serra Encantada", começou em 12/08/2008, a primeira imagem desta publicação foi uma das iniciais a ser feitas na longa caminhada de 4 anos que se seguiu... Chamar-lhe-ei "Ao Sabor da Serra!"</div>

Durante os próximos dias postarei mais imagens deste meu pedaço de vida, desta parte do meu tempo, desta ideia que me fez crescer e amar mais o mundo que é nosso... </div>
