@terrescoLesotho, nicknamed the Kingdom in the Sky, traces its origins back to the early nineteenth century with the unification of several Sotho clans by the visionary leader Moshoeshoe I. Facing the upheavals caused by regional wars of the time, Moshoeshoe gathered his people and established a nation firmly rooted in the mountains, which became the political and symbolic heart of the country. Thanks to his skilled diplomacy, Moshoeshoe I formed alliances with missionaries and sought British protection to preserve his territory against the expansion of Boer settlers. In 1868, Lesotho officially became a British protectorate under the name Basutoland, allowing the Basotho people to retain their identity and part of their land. The country gained independence in 1966, taking the name Kingdom of Lesotho. Even today, its history is marked by this spirit of resistance, unity and attachment to a mountainous territory that has profoundly shaped Basotho culture and way of life.

@ladytruckviewI had the chance to visit Lyon at the beginning of last year, during one of my first trips where I started taking photography more seriously. Looking back now, I can admit something very honestly: I didn鈥檛 fully use the photographic potential of that place. Lyon is simply too big to explore properly in just one day and at that time I was mostly focused on capturing entire buildings and forgot to pay also more attention to the smaller details.

@onyfestI keep looking through the photographs we took in the mountains and I still find it hard to believe that all of that fits into a single destination. The Serra do Ger锚s is not just a place, it's a state of mind. It's the kind of place that makes you slow down without anyone telling you to. And that's exactly what I felt during our time there. There's something raw and honest about the landscapes of Ger锚s. They aren't neatly arranged in the manufactured sense of the word. They are real. They are mountains that impose themselves, valleys that seem endless, and rivers that meander as if they were there long before us. And let's be frank, they really were.
