This image provides a high-angle view of the Miranda do Douro Dam (Barragem de Miranda), located within a deep, rocky gorge in Miranda do Douro, Portugal. The primary subject is a large, light grey concrete arch-gravity dam with a stepped downstream face, spanning the narrow canyon. To the left, a expansive body of green-tinted water forms the reservoir, while a smaller, similar-colored pool is visible at the dam's immediate base downstream. The dam is flanked by steep, rugged rock cliffs, primarily dark grey and brown, with sparse, dry-looking green and brown vegetation clinging to the slopes and more dense foliage in the upper and shaded areas. A paved access road extends along the dam's crest and curves downwards along the left bank. No individuals are present, and no actions or interactions are observed within the scene. The environment is characterized by arid, rocky mountainous terrain under clear daylight conditions. In the bottom-left foreground, a circular concrete or stone structure is partially visible, indicating a high vantage point for the photograph.
