"Danger!! Stay away from the island, high risk of drowning".
Urubuqueçaba Island, literally "the sleeping place of vultures". Santos, Brazil, March 2017.
Si può stare per ore, davanti all'oceano, ed ammirare le onde, farsi avanti, alzarsi, e poi arrotolarsi urlando di schiuma...
Bellissimo!
Algarve, Sao Vicente

In Madeira, on arrival at the northern town of São Vicente, we were greeted by this startling wall of faces. Startling, yet quite attractive… and certainly a talking point.
There's a closer look below.
O Miradouro das Portas do Sol, um dos mais emblemáticos miradouros de Lisboa, localizado no coração de Alfama, na face sul da Colina do Castelo, oferece uma vista panorâmica deslumbrante sobre os telhados avermelhados do bairro, o Rio Tejo e vários pontos emblemáticos. Da sua privilegiada localização, junto às antigas portas da muralha fernandina, avistam-se os campanários da Igreja de São Vicente de Fora (século XVI, construída sobre um mosteiro fundado após a conquista de Lisboa em 1147) e, à direita, a Igreja de Santo Estêvão (século XVIII). A vista abrange também o Panteão Nacional e a característica arquitetura de Alfama, com seus edifícios brancos e coloridos, suas chaminés industriais e o casario disposto na encosta, descendo até ao rio.
Miradouro das Portas do Sol, one of Lisbon's most emblematic viewpoints, located in the heart of Alfama, on the south side of Castelo Hill, offers a breathtaking panoramic view over the red-tiled roofs of the neighborhood, the Tagus River and several emblematic landmarks. From its privileged location, next to the old gates of the Fernandina wall, you can see the bell towers of the Church of São Vicente de Fora (16th century, built on a monastery founded after the conquest of Lisbon in 1147) and, to the right, the Church of Santo Estêvão (18th century). The view also takes in the National Pantheon and the characteristic architecture of Alfama, with its white and colorful buildings, its industrial chimneys and the houses arranged on the hillside down to the river.
Madeiran chaffinch / Madeira-Buchfink (Fringilla coelebs maderensis) ... a subspecies of the common chaffinch, endemic to the Portuguese island of Madeira
in the vineyard in front of our holiday cottage in São Vicente, Madeira Island, Portugal
TGIF!
It's been a long time since I last posted photos on Flickr so a new upload was long overdue.
Most of my time last year was spent on studying for a masters degree in ocean energy. That's my excuse anyway :-)
This is a shot of the lighthouse at Cabo Sao Vicente in southwestern tip of Portugal, taken when we were visiting the spot in October on holiday with a campervan.
For the sailors during the great age of discovery this would have been the end of the known world, and like them I too felt rather sad having to leave such a stunning place behind. Unlike them I didn't have a voyage into the unknown on a tiny wooden ship, lasting for a couple of years, ahead of me though. Fair play to them...

The adult little egret is 55–65 cm (22–26 in) long with an 88–106 cm (35–42 in) wingspan, and weighs 350–550 g (12–19 oz). Its plumage is normally entirely white, although there are dark forms with largely bluish-grey plumage. In the breeding season, the adult has two long plumes on the nape that form a crest.
These plumes are about 150 mm (6 in) and are pointed and very narrow. There are similar feathers on the breast, but the barbs are more widely spread. There are also several elongated scapular feathers that have long loose barbs and may be 200 mm (8 in) long. During the winter the plumage is similar but the scapulars are shorter and more normal in appearance. The bill is long and slender and it and the lores are black.
There is an area of greenish-grey bare skin at the base of the lower mandible and around the eye which has a yellow iris. The legs are black and the feet yellow. Juveniles are similar to non-breeding adults but have greenish-black legs and duller yellow feet, and may have a certain proportion of greyish or brownish feathers. The subspecies nigripes differs in having yellow skin between the bill and eye, and blackish feet. During the height of courtship, the lores turn red and the feet of the yellow-footed races turn red

A lovely church nestles above a small village, dwarfed by a mountain range, on the road to São Vicente on the island of Madeira.
The old road along the North coast of Madeira linking São Vicente and Seixal, famous for its waterfall 'Véu da Noiva' or 'Bride's Veil'.
Erosion has caused rockfalls and cars can no longer pass under the veil, (there is a tunnel behind the fall). Still well worth the visit!
Lisbon's official patron saint is Saint Vincent (the one depicted in this statue), and not Saint Anthony of Padua, as most locals may tell you. The whole story is very well explained here.
Ao contrário do que até muitos lisboetas possam pensar, o santo padroeiro oficial da cidade de Lisboa é São Vicente - e não Santo António. Toda esta história é muito bem explicada aqui.
