Azores v. 4.6

This is São Roque do Pico, as seen from São Miguel Arcanjo.


At the end of the day, the omnipresent Pico mountain looked like a nuclear blast.


A common tern (Sterna hirundo), garajau in portuguese, shows how to lick the elbow.


I bet these are all females ;)


I like this image as it shows the common tern lit by the sun and a dark cloud looming behind it. This is rather typical in the Azores, the weather changes every minute.


I found it very hard to keep their flight within the frame, they are lightning fast!
