Lagoa do Fogo (Fire Lake) Photo

Photographer’s Note

Lagoa do Fogo (Fire Lake)
Located in the centre of the island are the fascinating landscapes of Lagoa do Fogo (Fire Lake), doubtlessly one of the grandest nature attractions of the island of Sao Miguel.
This huge blue lake – it is about 2 km long and 1 km wide - fills the ground of an extinct crater, whose caldera was formed during an eruption in 1563. Surrounded by high mountains and luxuriant endemic vegetation, this mystical lake, where an ambiance of divine tranquillity and beauty is reigning, has transparent waters, a peninsula and white sand beaches and is declared nature reserve.

Hi kris,

Well composed and wonderful landscape!
I like clear lake surrounded by mountains. And, it draws out a good effect in the whole on curved lake as well as total soft color tone and cloudy weather, I think. It is a photograph where a quiet, peaceful nature is shown.

Regards,
mikio
