Ponta dos Rosais, São Jorge

Ilha de São Jorge, Açores, Portugal.

 

This photo gives a real good view over the West part of the Island from above. The clouds prevent you to see the East part of the Island, as it is much longer then visible here (53 kms.). The narrow strip of land at the bottom of the picture is the Ponta dos Rosais. The island is nothing more then a big chunk of steep volcanic rocks in the middle of the ocean without the existence of beaches.
