Evening ocean

October 29th, 2008

As we went to one of the fortresses (not the one from the other day), I saw a nice contrast between black rocks and almost white splashes from the sea hitting the rocks.

Supersonic

As one of my favorite bands (Oasis) says in their song Supersonic: “I’m feeling supersonic”

  

Some HDR from the walk

This is from the São João Baptista Fortress and from the port beneath it.

Something for all of you who like cats and will think: “ooooooooo … ain’t that cute” :)

Finally some progress

October 22nd, 2008

So … Finally I can say that everything should be in order on this blog. If you notice anything that is not right, please tell me :)

A couple of days ago, I went to see the fortress above Angra do Heroísmo where there is still a military base. Naturally, due to that fact access is limited, but I decided to try my luck anyway. After some time and much difficulties in communication – they hardly speak any English – I was allowed to go on Monte Brasil (only 205m), but had to promise to return by six p.m. as the place is a live fire zone. All in all, it is quite funny when you read this on a small pice of paper next to the guard that almost can’t speak English:D

I do not know what this is, but it is not HDR (at least not made on purpose:P)

I must apologise for not taking the picture of Angra from the top of Monte Brasil but I totally forgot :D Most probably I will be going there again really soon, and then I will make a panorama. All I must hope for is some good weather :)

Café com leite e carros rali

One of the best things around here must be a large (2dcl) coffee with milk that costs only one euro :D . Wicked!

P.S.: If the title is misspelled, blame it on the Google Translate :P

Two panoramas for you

October 16th, 2008

Some panorama pictures of the majestic Atlantic ocean merely to make you green with envy :) . The first one is from the set of the previous day, and the second one is from the set that will be posted later on.

And by the way … I found a really cool roommate for myself. It’s name is Weed … Ordinary Weed :)

Totally green with herd of bulls on top
