I like this set a lot although it's not as spectacular as the previous one.

I particularly enjoyed the middle image.

The first and fourth one are appealing. I'm not so taken up by the toning, but I realize it's your aesthetic choice.

Hi Paulo. Do you mean Sao Vicente Ferreira? You should have seen the island before 1980. So lush and green, and so many colour form the variety of crops. Hydrangeas everywhere. It is still quite beautiful, as I am sure you can attest. Love the images.

Hi JR,

Yes, I can only imagine what it looked like. Today, there is not much left from the original flora. The place is Ferraria, on the West of the island. There is the lighthouse, natural pools, and a recent thermal hotel and spa.
