Wind created a lot of mist in the air, which required constant cleaning of the lens. For this reason I gave up on long exposures here, but I enjoyed this beach anyway. The boulders create endless possibilities for composition!

Ribeira da Janela a small beautiful village located on...

This magic rock near Porto Moniz was on top of my to do list, since I started to plan the trip to Madeira. I did not expect it to be so hard to get a good photo from it. The first day we came there, the light was flat and a strong wind from the sea made it nearly impossible to keep the lens open for more than a few seconds. Just the nice waves gave me reason to keep on trying. I think cleaning the lens took me the most time. A really frustrating experience. It took me a second try on a little less windy day, to get this out of the scene. Sorry for pimping up the sky.
