Pre-Storm Sunset

Hurricane Leslie was kind to the Algarve deciding to stay out to sea off the West Coast on its passage towards Lisbon where it will reach ground. Up here in the hills of the Algarve, we can just about make out the weather front in the distance and it provided some colour in the sky.

For everyone in the path of the Hurricane, please keep safe and of course, keep your animals safe too!

Young Cork Oak at Sunset

It’s been another hot day here in the Northern Hills with the temperature reaching 35 degree, the clear skies looked promising for a typical Algarve sunset. I headed to a nearby ridge to find a Cork Oak to photograph against the setting sun. I found this young Cork Oak that is yet to have its first harvest of Cork. The tree needs to be at least 30 years old before the first harvest is carried out.

I liked the way its canopy framed the setting sun so set up the camera and waited until the sun was just disappearing behind the Benafátima ridge. The distant peak you can see to the left of the tree trunk is Fóia, the Algarve’s highest point.

Goodbye to August with a Stunning Hazy Sunset

As the sun descended on the final day of August in the Algarve Serra, a hazy appearance meant you could easily look at the sun the diffusion was so great (Just for the record, I don’t advise you ever look at the sun!).

It has been another hot day with temperatures pushing towards 40 deg, the haze is quite possibly African dust in the atmosphere. It wasn’t only diffusing the sun but also creating a stunning red/orange glow to the sky.
