Faial Azores Photograph Journal
I took these pictures on my trip to Faial, Azores September -- October 2011.
The photographs consist of the Capelinhos and the Botanical gardens as well as the Caldaria, but it was a cloudy day so I'm unable to include as many of this location as I would like. Other pictures show the City, Horta and other scenic hot spots such as Monte da Guia and Boca do Inferno as well as some fauna of the island. During my stay we took a day trip to Pico, some of those pictures are also included.

Azoris Faial Garden, una experiencia inolvidable.
Es uno de los Baluartes hoteleros de las islas Azores. Excelentes instalaciones. Buen trato. Buena situación, a tan solo unos metros de del centro de la ciudad de Horta. Y una gastronomía tradicional muy bien elaborada, hacen del Azoris Faial Garden un hotel recomendable.
Wild Azores - Experiencing the Atlantic Ocean: Riding the Big Waves on a Speedboat
The Azores Islands are located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean which sometimes shows its rough side. This video shows huge waves approaching Faial Island at Ribeirinha and Faja. It was great fun to ride these waves on a speedboat! It is also great fun to swim in the natural pools along the shoreline. In the evening hours, you can experience beautiful sunsets almost every day!
Three timelapses of a view of the Pico stratovolcano in the Azores (Portugal)
I don't have experience with time lapses, so bear with me, but I think it looks nice anyway. THe Pico mountain has an ever changing view! When you go to bed and leave your camera on to see some stars moving past our field of view, suddenly some clouds might pop up! But even those clouds are as fascinating as the stars themselves in my opinion.
Terceira Island AZORES Portugal - Ep. 20
Terceira Island AZORES Portugal - Ep. 20
In this week of Sailing Zephyr we leave the Horta Marina in Faial and sail to the nearby island of Terceira. One of our most magical sails due to James and I spotting some Sperm Whales in the early morning shift change.
We arrive in Terceira and find a beautiful little anchorage just off the main beach in the city of Angra do Heroismo. This island is known for its festivities and food - The Party Island of the Azores. Like all the islands in the Azores, this one had so much to offer and we were excited to explore the botanical gardens, all the quaint little fishing villages and the museums. We also brave the cold waters of the Atlantic, James practices his Portuguese and we eat A LOT of good food.
Enjoy the video!
