FOOTPRINTS IN THE SNOW
PALENTINA MOUNTAIN NATURAL PARK
Can we imagine the life that has a forest, a meadow, a pile of rocks, or simply the hollow trunk of an old tree? How many animals have gone through the same path that we are going through?
Although we have walked many times in the same place, in most cases all this will have gone unnoticed for all of us.
Discovering or finding any trace or indication of the inhabitants of these places is a very difficult task.
The field is the field and most of the year knows how to hide its secrets. Why are you going to have to reveal them to us, without asking anything in return?
But let’s see what happens when those inhabitants face the coldest season of the year.
The snow cover that covers most of the mountain in the winter, teaches us how life that apparently the rest of the year is not seen, invites us to know its secrets.
