View on Fontainhas

Tuesday I came back from my trip to Cape Verde. I did the first round of processing images, so I am more a less ready to do some sharing here on Flickr.

 

It was a different trip than the ones I made last years, because the primary goal this time was to escape the lousy dutch winter, and that goal was completely successful. Everyday the sun was shining with temperatures between 25-30 degrees.

 

The shot here shows Fontainhas, a very little village on the north part of the island Sao Antao. It was an incredible scenic hike along the coast. I at least must have said a few 100 times to myself: "incredible, amazing, fantastic, wonderful, gorgeous".

 

Sao Antao is the island for people that like to hike. Very rough canyons, steep mountains and hiking trails, and the most green island of Cape Verde. But for the real green landscape you should go earlier, shortly after the rainy season, because in January it is quite dry.
