Photographed in Paço, Vinhais, this image belongs to a series dedicated to football goalposts. The composition emphasizes the immensity of the scene, where a solitary goalpost stands on a sun-drenched dirt field, marked by deep tyre tracks. The image contrasts the sharp vertical lines of the pine forest with the open horizon of the Serra de Montesinho mountain range, capturing a silent stage where sport meets the wild isolation of the Northeast.
The series explores these abandoned or solitary goalposts as symbols of human presence in the natural world. They mark the intersection between sport, memory, and the silent persistence of the landscape.
