Azorean landscape

Azorean landscape · 07:41 AM

This is my first attempt at making a panorama image. It was taken between two rounds of heavy rainfall while I was on foot and nowhere near civilization. That was a fun day.

Stitched together with Hugin.

Thanks for looking.

Well done - wow there is so much lush green in that picture.

Dan,

I agree with Dave - lush greens and very appealing. It's very similar to the green of NZ!

Do you have any similar perspectives of the area?

Regards,
Marc

Nice shot. I spent 15 months on Terceira (US Air Force). Which one of the islands was this taken on?

Thanks.

I spent my two weeks on São Miguel. I'd love to visit all the other islands.

There is. Quite a lot, in fact. Cows love eating the landscape just as much as we enjoy looking at it.

Sadly I have not had much chance of sightseeing. You can find other pictures of the island on my weblog. (latest 2 entries)

Beautiful shot. An impressive first attempt at panorama too.

Popping colour and such a lush green meadows!

That is a very good shot, Dan.

Thank you, everybody.

Next time I'm going there, I'm packing a tripod to do more/better panoramic shots. It's totally worth it.

Let me know and maybe we can go on hiking. Photo hiking is just perfect.

Great shot of a beautiful area. I'll have to go to the blog now...

As it happens my family is from Sao Miguel. Wonderful landscapes abound. If you go to higher ground in the mornings you can see the clouds float by under a sea of blue. Did I mention I like your landscape? Wonderful!

Hmmmm, do I see the opportunity for an "Official" Azorean Pentax meeting in the future ?

JMR · 12-21-2008, 03:34 PM

Some day soon, I shall return. A few years ago I had a site with many photos from Sao Miguel, but since the kids came along, I let it lapse. Soon I will post some so you and listers can have look-see. But this is your hour, my friend.
