Aerial Views: ‘Northern Portugal’ (2K Video)

“Up North” is my first “aerial film”, using only images collected from drone. A look at the lands of the North, from its terraces to the typical morning fog that forms along the slopes that connect the Douro to Tâmega. A trip through the clouds to enjoy and “fly” a little.

Portugal is a southern European country on the Iberian Peninsula, bordering Spain. Its location on the Atlantic Ocean has influenced many aspects of its culture: salt cod and grilled sardines are national dishes, the Algarve’s beaches are a major destination and much of the nation’s architecture dates to the 1500s–1800s, when Portugal had a powerful maritime empire.
