The image presents an elevated, wide-angle view of a large concrete arch-gravity dam situated within a deep, rocky gorge near Miranda do Douro, Portugal. The dam's downstream face, characterized by a curved, stepped concrete structure with visible buttresses, descends into a dark green plunge pool at its base. An expansive body of dark green water, consistent with a reservoir, is visible upstream of the dam, contained by steep, arid rock walls. The surrounding environment consists of rugged, irregular rock formations and cliffs, primarily covered with sparse, dry, yellowish vegetation, interspersed with patches of denser green foliage, particularly on the upper slopes and along crevices. In the foreground, a paved asphalt road or viewing area is visible, with a section featuring several parked passenger vehicles, including at least one white and two grey/silver cars. A single dark-colored utility pole stands on this paved surface. Below this road, a series of concrete steps or terraced platforms descend. To the right, partially obscured by green foliage, is a large, flat, circular concrete structure, consistent with an observation platform or a component of the dam's infrastructure. Distant in the background, horizontal lines on the steep rock faces suggest other constructed pathways or roads traversing the mountainside. The lighting indicates clear daylight conditions. No individuals are present in the scene.
