Lets start this time with sunrise, although we saw that spectacular
scenery almost at the end of our stay (after long psychic preparations). We've made a
little bit better pictures than the year before, and mainly thanks to people - apart from
fundamental ecologists I'm not annoyed by people walking in landscape scenery, better than
that, they mostly make picture complete, especially its scale. Here some group gathered on
a viewpoint and enjoyed the scenery as we did... that small island among a lot of clouds
was really impressive.

As before we were looking for mist, as it is very easy to forsee
when/where it would be (but anyway weather conditions are changing minute by minute).
Maybe I'm really suited for snaps ala "jungle chaos", so on the right there is
one of that kind. As with most of my pictures actual print is much better than scan, but
anyway it is visible how G Planar is "painting"

As I mentioned retrospective at the beginning, here is one. It took us a
little bit of time to find this tree (there is suprisingly more than one), but at the end
we really enjoyed taking "same" snaps. This one is taken with polarizing filter
Kaesemann - I put thin tape with numbers on filter rim. Work is complicated (turn,
remember, skrew, turn to memorized position, take snap), but actual results are quiet
nice. Skies are deeply saturated, as for ferns, they were maybe even more colorful.

At some places, especially on the way to pico Areiro from Funchal, there
are very nice roads. Well, I mean really nice, with a little bit of blue cast,
complementing rusty ferns around. So this is one typical classical "S" curve.

So one more mist, what about this one... taken late afternoon, shutter
speeds were about some seconds, but what the heck... with tripod, who cares. Only weather
could be a little bit warmer... we found that place like most of the others, i. e. by
total coincidence, driving by at proper time.
