Peeter Laurits’ work in progress “City of Goats” (working title) dealt with nearby Covas do Monte village. It is a village that seems to have changed a little during the centuries, still keeping its traditional way of life. He explored the architecture of this small community with photographic means, making use of both straight and computer-enhanced photography.
