Cape Ortegal and the Indomitable Power of Nature
William Turner, the great painter who tied himself to the masts of ships to observe storms, said that in them he saw ‘the unseen’. This idea, the search for what has never been captured, moves us photographers to confront nature in its purest state.

I don't know if I was looking for a moment of inner peace to heal and rediscover myself in a further attempt to heal some of the many wounds that fill the soul, but that afternoon I decided to take my backpack and enjoy the solitude walking along the road that connects Ortigueira with the Lagoa de San Martiño, passing through the famous Blue Trail, following the coast of the Ortigueira estuary.
