Tide. Fernando de Noronha was discovered on 10 August 1503
Fernando de Noronha was discovered on 10 August 1503, barely a decade after Columbus first stumbled on the New World, by explorer Amerigo Vespucci. It was colonised by the Dutch, the French and finally the Portuguese, and until 20 years ago was a prison colony for criminals, gypsies and other undesirables, who were put to work building forts, making lime and weaving cloth. Since Darwin visited in 1832, the island has been a Mecca for naturalists and ecologists (it is now a national park). The island has just seven kilometres of surfaced road, the rest being dirt track and pathway, so buggies are the principal form of transport on the island. About 70% of it is protected, and development of any kind is drastically limited in the other 30 per cent. The island may be a wilderness, but its a domesticated, cared-for wilderness

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of Tide, a mesmerizing scene on the island of Fernando de Noronha. Steeped in rich history, this remote paradise was discovered by explorer Amerigo Vespucci in 1503 and has since witnessed colonization by the Dutch, French, and Portuguese. Once a prison colony for outcasts and criminals, it now stands as a national park that attracts naturalists and ecologists from around the world. With just seven kilometers of surfaced road, this island relies heavily on buggies as its primary mode of transportation. Its untouched wilderness spans over 70% of its land area while development is strictly limited to preserve its pristine environment. As you gaze upon this image, your senses are enveloped by tranquility. The dramatic sky paints a breathtaking backdrop against which waves gently caress the shoreline. The horizon stretches endlessly across the Atlantic Ocean as if inviting you to explore further into nature's embrace. The golden sands reflect the warm hues of sunset or dusk, creating an ethereal atmosphere that captivates both locals and visitors alike. This UNESCO World Heritage Site showcases unparalleled beauty in nature with its crystal-clear waters and picturesque bay. Through elzauer's lens, this photograph encapsulates not only the raw magnificence but also the tender care bestowed upon this domesticated wilderness. It serves as a reminder that even within untamed landscapes lies delicate balance deserving our utmost respect.
