Pico
This is the extinct volcano of Pico on the island of the same name in the Azores. At around 6,000 feet, it's the highest point in the Azores and, indeed, in the whole of Portugal.
Snapped from a TAP Portugal (Portuguese national airline) airliner about 10 minutes out from the airport at Horta on the neighbouring island of Faial bound for Lisbon.
Photos never quite do justice, but we took off from Horta on a rather grey day, then emerged out the top of the clouds into the sunshine to find this dirty great mountain going past the window!
