Cabo Santa Maria, Ilha Deserta, Portugal 2019
►The relationship that the local culture has with Ria Formosa Nature Park, the Barrier Islands, and with Cape St. Mary was subject of history books. During the century V, the area we know recall as Faro, was named “Santa Maria de Ossónoba’’. The myth of the Santa Maria continued the name of the city during 9 centuries, until it evolved to ‘’Faroon’’ and then Faro.
The Cape is the southernmost tip of Mainland Portugal lying right on the bottom of Europe. All it takes to reach it is a boat drive to Deserta Island and 30-minute walk on a boardwalk, or the white sandy beach.

St. Anthony's Church, Lagos, Faro, Algarve, Portugal, Europe
The Church of Saint Anthony is a religious building located in Lagos, in Faro, Portugal. Probably built under the reign of King John V, was built to serve as a place of worship for the military Lagos, belonging to the military administration. Damaged in Earthquake of 1755, was recovered in 1769 by order of Hugo Beaty, commander of Lagos Infantry Regiment. In the early twentieth century, the church, still under military administration, was in a state of preservation rather unfortunate, since water leakage in the roof were damaging the dome painting, the emadeiramentos choir and the hoist dourada.1 Due to financial problems, could not carry out building repairs. In 1924, the church was declared a National Monument by Decree No. 9/842.1 In 1929, no longer belongs to the War Office, going to be administered by the Ministry of Education Pública.2 Repairs, supervised by Dr. José Formosinho , began in 1930.3 Thereafter, the Church became part of the Lagos Regional Museum. In 1931, the Sacred Art section of the Lagos Regional Museum was installed in the sacristy of the Church. Currently only provides religious services once a year, on the day of its patron (June 13). The Church is part of Dr. Joseph Formosinho Museum. The Church is baroque traces, as can be seen by its main facade, containing a decorated door with shells and a national shield with branches of Jesuit style. The external appearance of the church is simple, with walls of smooth stone; the main gable is facing west (street General Alberto da Silveira), covering the main entrance. The side facade, facing the Largo Commitment Maritime (street Silva Lopes), includes a round arch, of great proportions, creating a vaulted porch. It has two bell towers of different dimensions. The south tower, larger, features a clock placed in 1839. The ship, painted vaulted ceiling, is decorated with tiles and gilded woodwork. Along the side walls are 8 frames, representing scenes from the life of Saint Anthony of Lisbon, painted by the master José Joaquim Rasquinho of Loulé.5 The sacristy, which is accessed from the altar, is now a showroom Sacred Art, where they are found vestments, statues and other religious items.

Silves, Faro District, Algarve, Portugal, Europe
Silves is a municipality in the Portuguese Algarve of southern Portugal. The population in 2011 was 37,126, in an area of 680.06 km². The urbanized area includes approximately 11,000 inhabitants. Silves is the former capital of the Algarve and is of great historical importance. The region of Silves has been inhabited since the Palaeolithic, as attested by archaeological remains, including several menhirs. The river Arade, which was navigable in historical times, linked the hinterland to the open ocean and allowed the transport of produce and commerce. The town of Silves (Cilpes) was possibly founded during the times of Roman domination, when the region was part of the Lusitania province.
After 713, when the Moors invaded Iberia, Silves became part of the Umayyad Emirate of Córdoba under the Arabic name of Shilb (شلب). In the 10th century it was one of the most important towns of western Al-Andalus. Silves became an independent taifa in 1027 under the rule of Ibn Mozaine and his son, who was dethroned in 1051 by al-Mu'tadid, the governor of Seville. al-Mu'tamid ibn 'Abbad, the son of al-Mu'tadid and a famous poet, ruled the taifa of Silves until 1091. After the Almoravid conquest the town became Almohad in 1156. In 1189 King Sancho I of Portugal conquered the town with the aid of Northern European crusaders, but lost it again to the Almohads. Periodic raiding expeditions were sent from Al-Andalus to ravage the Iberian Christian kingdoms, bringing back booty and slaves. The governor of Córdoba attacked Silves in 1191, and took 3,000 Christian slaves. Again under Muslim rule, the city would then prosper to the point of being called the Baghdad of the West. The town was finally taken from the last Muslim king Ibn Afan by Paio Peres Correia, Grand-Master of the Order of Santiago in 1242, after the Alentejo and most of the coast had already fallen in 1238. The great mosque was changed into Silves Cathedral (Sé Catedral). Silves declined in importance thereafter and was eclipsed in the region by Faro during the colonial period. In 1491, the town was given to queen Leonora by King João. Parts of the Almohad town wall, constructed from poured concrete, have been preserved, as well as the Almedina-gate (Porta de Loulé). Other sights include the Santa Misericórdia Church with a fine door in Manueline style (the main body of the church was built in 1727-28); a museum for cork and the production of bottle corks in a defunct factory which is now also a centre for cultural events called Fábrica do Inglês (The Englishman's Factory); and the municipal museum (Museu Municipal de Arqueologia) with findings from the palaeolithic onwards. The town is situated on a hill above the Arade River. Silves Castle (Castelo dos Mouros, Moorish Castle) is located on the top of the hill. It occupies ca. 12,000m². Archaeological excavations have shown that the oldest buildings date back to the 8th century, the stratigraphy is almost 6m deep and contains Iron Age remains as well. The walls are made of red sandstone (grés de Silves) with a pisé-core and have been heavily restored in the 1940s. Protruding towers of albarra-type protect the Northern slope. After the Christian conquest, the castle served as the seat of the alcaide-mor (provincial governor) till the middle of the 16th century, afterwards the towers were used as a prison. The municipality is crossed by the Arade River, which was navigable in historical times and was key to the prosperity of the city of Silves. The waters of the river form the dams of Arade and Funcho. The landscape of the municipality is generally hilly. To the south the municipality borders the Atlantic Ocean. Silves is built on top of one of the largest underground aquifers in the south of Portugal, The Querença-Silves Aquifer , and has many orange groves, a fruit introduced by the Moors.

The Fire Island Lighthouse - Bayshore, NY - October 2016
Just a quick little fly over by the lighthouse when we stopped in the parking lot of Robert Moses State Park, Field 5. The lighthouse is 180 feet tall and first began operation is 1858... IT ALMOST 160 YEARS OLD!!
This was shot with a DJI Inspire 1 V2.0 drone with a Zenmuse X3 camera. It was a little windy as a storm was rolling in so there's a little bit of shake visible when I get in a little closer, but aside from that I'm really happy with the quick footage. If you get a chance to head out to Fire Island and check it out in person, it's really worth the trip. It's beautiful out there.
