“We climbed, he first and I behind, until through a small round opening ahead of us, I saw the lovely things the heavens hold…” –Dante

Standing inside Poço Iniciàtico (Initiation Well) at Quinta da Regaleira was a surreal experience!

#BlueSkyArtShow #Vertical #EastCoastKin #photography #Portugal

View from the bottom of Poço Iniciàtico (Initiation Well) on the grounds of Quinta da Regaleira in Sintra, Portugal. The platforms along the spiral staircase are seen throughout the stony walls, which are covered with moss. A circular view of sky and a few tree branches are seen above, at the top of the well.

The Initiation Well at the Quinta da Regaleira was designed by Italian architect Luigi Manini, under the direction of the property owner António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro who wanted to build out the estate to reflect his interests and ideologies. The well has nine platforms, which are thought to represent the nine circles of Hell, the nine divisions of Purgatory, and the nine skies that make up Paradise in Dante Alighieri's epic theological poem, "Divine Comedy," written in the 14th century.

The full Dante quote I wanted to use, but ran out of characters:
“We climbed, he first and I behind, until through a small round opening ahead of us, I saw the lovely things the heavens hold, and we came out to see once more the stars.”

Looking up the trunks of two tall maple trees. Their leaves are bright yellow, turning orange at the tips. The sun illuminates them at the center. There is blue sky in the background and darker pines and bushes at the right and left bottom, encouraging your eyes to go up the trees.

Across the road from the Vall de Molieres trail, another leads up into the Pyrenees mountains south of Vielha, #Spain. This is a fairly steep climb, but leads to magnificent views, lakes, and the GR-11 cross Pyrenees trail.

Good morning 👋. Sheesh what a week it’s been! Looking to some relaxing moments this weekend. Have a good one!

Mist rises from a quiet part of the river. Autumn foliage is reflected on the glassy surface.

Photo taken October 11, 2025, of a large concretion boulder that is covered in lichens and moss with a white leaf manzanita shrub. For me, boulder is like a piece of art, and I am so fortunate to experience it. #photography #ShastaCounty #nature #gorges #ISeeMoss #lichens #FungiFriends #fungi
