Continuing the tale of two weeks, here is more insight into the beauty of the island:
EDIT: It seems Windows Live Writer has a hard time making thumbnails. Yay Microsoft.
Sunset over Ribeira Grande, my lover’s home town and one of the nicest places I’ve ever visited. The mist you see in the background is actually water spray from the ocean.
View of the central park of Ribeira Grande.
Town hall and tourist information point, Ribeira Grande.
Seashore on the northern part of the island, São Miguel; Azores.
DUCKS! in the town of Furnas.
Leaves floating about in a fountain in the botanical garden, Furnas.
Do you have the guts to walk in the middle of the pond? Botanical garden, Furnas.
Lagoa de Fogo, Azores. A crater lake situated in the middle of the island. One of three crater lakes. The dark blue you see in the background right under the clouds is actually the ocean.
‘Bout it for now.
Will return with part III as soon as I process more pictures. Fingers crossed for a panorama!

STUNNING PHOTOS!!! D: I wanna go see Azores too now! xD
The landscape are breath taking. Now you got hooked into landscape too?
I like that picture of the ducks in golden light which is sooooo oustanding in deed! Beautiful work, my friend
The leaf one has the crispy contrast I like.
Update: I have shot through 5 black and white films through voigtlander R3A and 12mm f5.6
Now developing… Can’t wait!
I’ve been there 3 times, my wife is from the same island but she is from Lagoa. What a beautiful island. I considered moving there many times. Easy livin’ people. Photographic oportunities abound, wish I had digital 6 years ago. Again great place to visit, swim, eat and of course drink. By the way great pictures. Light is tricky, so be prepared for some tweaking.
