This print captures the dramatic beauty of the northeast coast of Flores island, located in the Azores islands, Portugal. On a stormy day at Boqueirao, the rugged coastline is showcased in all its glory. The image showcases an elevated view that allows us to take in the breathtaking scenery. In this photograph, our attention is drawn to a ramp on the left side of the frame, which was historically used for pulling sperm whales from the sea. This detail adds a touch of history and intrigue to an already mesmerizing scene. The wild and untamed Atlantic Ocean crashes against the shores with powerful waves, creating a sense of awe-inspiring energy. The stormy weather enhances this feeling further, adding an element of drama and intensity to nature's display. Flores island is part of UNESCO's Biosphere Reserve due to its unique ecosystem and natural beauty. It is one among many islands that make up this archipelago off Portugal's western coast. Photographer Mauricio Abreu has expertly captured this moment in time, allowing viewers to experience not only the visual splendor but also feel immersed in the atmosphere created by rough seas and inclement weather. This print serves as a reminder of nature's raw power and resilience while showcasing one of Portugal's hidden gems as a travel destination for those seeking adventure amidst stunning coastal landscapes.
