The Copperstone Collection ‘Portugal’

So here we are, the first of my Collections.

Inspired by this new and slightly befuddling country we have chosen to call home for now.

Portugal Midnight

The lack of light pollution out her in the sticks means that the night sky is stunningly and breathtakingly beautiful.  Never black, always midnight blue with the milky way seen clearly snaking it’s way across the heavens.

Portugal Mountain

We are lucky to live nestled in the foothills of a beautiful mountain range, with deep, dark and spiky pine forests knocking on our very door.  Cold, clear and bubbling streams and rivers making their swift way down the sharp rocky slopes to suddenly pool out into hidden swimming spots under the more gentle dappled shade of deciduous trees.  Despite their sometimes unforgiving nature the mountains are tranquil, magical places with endless tracks to explore and quite literally, lose yourself.

Portugal Coast

The coastline here is rough and unforgiving, lacking the cute little coves of the Algarve, here the coastline stretches for miles and miles at a time.  Backed by endless cliffs and dunes there is a wildness to the beaches in Central Portugal.  There is a very good reason why world record surfing occurs here, the Atlantic ocean beats down onto the shores and only the brave or foolish risk stepping into the waves which have reached over 100ft in height.
