Lily Cole Instagram – Beautiful moments adventuring with trees, cliffs, stones and Aurora Solá’s mind 🌞 for The Plant Magazine 🌱 ~ grateful for 2 years of exploring landscapes together ~
Aurora’s intro to our conversation :
“Sintra is a place frequently cloaked in fog and other less apparent forms of mystery. The name itself derives from Cynthia, the Greek goddess of the moon. Legends and tales of apparitions are as easy to come by as the natural springs that dot the Promontorium Lunae. Its oak forests house species from almost every latitude, product of the massif’s genial climate, Portugal’s long colonial traipsings and the local noblesse’s penchant for botanical competition.
Lily and I went for a stroll through some of our fa-vourite paths in Sintra. It would, perhaps, have been better to stare in silence at the thrumming, waving, bristling presences that surrounded us. But as Sintra’s spirits gestured to us, we gave in to words, and along the way the conversation touched on eleven different animals, as well as angels, demons, other horned creatures and then, too, on the wayward power of intelligence.“
