Description

his waterfall was one of the first natural locations I discovered and photographed in the Greater Lisbon region. Since my first visit, it has become a place I return to every year, especially after periods of heavy rainfall, when the renewed flow of water brings the landscape back to life.

Each return reveals a slightly different scene. The power of the water reshapes the stream, moves rocks, transforms the vegetation, and creates new compositions that make every visit unique. Yet the greatest transformation is not always found in the landscape itself. Over the years, I have realised that the most significant change has been in the way I see and interpret this place.

As I have grown as a photographer, my approach has matured as well. My compositions have become more deliberate, my understanding of light more refined, and my framing more intentional. Today, I aim not only to capture the beauty of the landscape but also to convey the sense of tranquillity, strength, and character that this place evokes.

For me, this is undoubtedly one of the richest and most visually compelling waterfalls in the Lisbon and Sintra region. It continues to inspire me and reminds me that photography is a lifelong journey, where every return offers the chance to create something new.
