Flores Island. The interior.

Near Caldeira Seca, Flores Island, Portugal.


A story behind:  This is how the interior of the Flores island looks like: a huge caldera that hosts 7 lagoons. Averaging 500 meters above the ocean level, the plateau is bounded by the rim of the not-so-old volcano walls. The volcanic island is relatively young. It appeared only 20 000 years ago. That is why it has a landscape filled with deep valleys and high peaks, lagoons bordered by steep cliffs carved by grottoes.  
Flores (Flowers) takes is names due to a great profusion of wild flowers.
In 2009, Flores was included on UNESCO's list of World Network of Biosphere Reserves at the Man and the Biosphere.

  3. You have a beutiful blog, with wonderful photos. I think the Azores are wonderful, although I am partial to Costa Rica myself. Do you only have posts about the Azores and nearby locales?

  4. Maciek,

    Porque não utilizaste uma menor abertura para dar mais profundidade à cena (estrada)?

    Por exemplo, na foto da Carrasqueira fizeste isso.

    Abertura 16 é um bom equilíbrio entre profundidade e sharp. 22 perde sharp.
    Na outra foto precisei mesmo 22 para aumentar o máximo o tempo.
