Have you missed my trip to the beautiful forest of Fanal, in Madeira?
Cave by the sea

Madeira, November 2021.
I guess technically a tunnel (or an arch), not a cave, but it did have the feeling of one. I went with a long exposure to make the water look as still as possible, and also to make the ocean in the background a bit less distracting. Long exposures have that ability of making even the most dramatic scenes look peaceful and calm.

It's almost like the tree is trying to pull me in. At least, that's what I see when I look at this image. Another one from the magical forest of Fanal, in Madeira.

Ribeira da Janela, Madeira, November 2021.
While I spent most of time in Madeira photographing the beautiful forest of Fanal, I still managed to visit other locations and make some images of other parts of this stunning island. One of them was Ribeira da Janela and its pretty rock formations, called Illheus da Ribeira da Janela.

Not much more I can say about this magical place.
A dance of trees

Madeira, November 2021.
This is a favorite of mine from the trip to Fanal. I found msyelf coming back to these two trees, and even though I made images of them alone, by themselves, it felt like they belonged together. A dance of trees.
Square tiles, Madeira

Madeira, November 2021.
Even though Fanal got all my attention during my trip to Madeira, I still managed to visit other parts of the island. I had done almost no research, so the spots I ran into were a surprise, including this one in a small town in the southwestern part of Madeira. I absolutely loved the square tiles, and the columns, and the ocean in the background... what a cool place!

Fanal is one of those special places where magic happens every once in a while. This is a beautiful forest at any time, but when the fog rolls in, it becomes one of the most stunning landscapes I had ever seen. A place out of a fairy tale.
Photographing the magical forest of Fanal, in Madeira

I travelled all the way to a tiny island in the Atlantic Ocean to photograph a small forest. A magical forest.
Dragon Tree, Madeira

Madeira, November 2021.
An image I made today while strolling around beautiful Câmara de Lobos, in the island of Madeira, Portugal.
The dragon tree is a native especies to the area of West Morocco, Canary Islands and Madeira. They can grow really big and old, but this one seemed to be just getting started with life.
