Ribeira da Janela

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!

Another one from the fantastic rock needles "Praia da Ribeira da Janela"

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.
