Ribeira do Vascão, Triangles in nature.

Ribeira do Vascão is the border between Algarve and Alentejo. Penedos is 2km from there on the Alentejo side.
When I was young women used to come down there with the laundry to wash and once dried on the cistus they had to carry it uphills, a hard way up.
In Summer it is almost dry, some water retained in the "pegos" so laundry could be washed and kids could have a bath and some fun.
This is how it looked 10 days ago after the heavy rainfall we experienced.


For Sunday Challenge 132: Composition in Triangles.

An interesting write up with a bit of history,. I understand then that the washing was ''well spread out'' over the Cistus in the warm sun,.// Best Wishes to you Isabel.. from Dj.

A lovely image and interesting background details. After the rain though, I guess the extra muddy water would be unsuitable for washing.

A beautiful view across the river to the hills Isabel. Captured in lovely sunshine.

Viewed large, it's easy to see the river in full flow after the heavy rain!

A clever interpretation of the Triangle challenge too.
