This is the second Eastern Island of Azores Archipel of nine brothers and sisters, that are live all with nature in the vast central North Atlantic Ocean near somewhere half way between Europe and North America.

Now, I present this picture of the Monks that seem that they are swimming to the coast for saving. It was a sunny day moment after Midday with the sun rays at near 120 degrees of my left and at my face the enchantement of the blue and the contrasting sea boardline wild nature coast.

TECHNICAL INFO: ISO=64 Focal Natural Zoom by Focal Lenght=298mm and a very small crop at the lower base and also a small touch of Contrast.

IMPORTANT Note: I have a google MAP view of the local where I took the picture that you can see and that are referenced with a Green Camera Icon at Escalvado in the left of the Map View Info Here: Link

I post also 2 WS-Workshops where YOU can see the near local views of these shots in the same date with a time span of near six minutes before of this one.

This nice particular Atlantic Island have harmonious mountains, sea scenery, walles and dolphins, cows and excelent cheese for all the world, black and green Tea, pinneaple and also a great wonderful volcanic sceneries, It's a natural and preserved Island that have many people linked to United States, Canada, North Europe, Brazil and also naturally to Continental Portugal.

Thanks again,

weswang (18223) 2006-04-18 20:56

Hi Fernando, I like the nicely diagonal aligned rocks in this picture. Good capture of the waves and deep blue colors of the water. A well taken picture.

zeca (19762) 2006-04-18 21:14

Sim eles estão realmente nadando para a costa! Fantástico! Este é o tipo de lugar por onde passam milhares de pessoas e apenas alguns raros têm a capacidade de interpretá-los com graça e inteligência. Parabéns pela ótima captura, acima de tudo com ótimas cores e nitidez.
um abraço!
Zeca
(o segundo está se afogando!)

singuanti (15250) 2006-04-18 22:23

Hi Fernando. Simple but so beautiful. The wave action on the water draws the viewer in. The little bit of land in the lower right does help our eyes in. Well seen Fernando.

pablominto (53746) 2006-04-19 2:24

Hello Fernando,
A lot of action here, as the waves are breaking against the rocks! The white colour from the surf is for some reason a very pleasant colours, probably because it usually is connected with the blue water...
Well composed with fine lines, for once I'm not so sure about inclusion of vegetation lower right side... blurryness doesn't quite fit in here IMO... However, that's only me!
Greetings,
Pablo -

feather (51130) 2006-04-19 5:49

I love all the white water churning round the rocks. The little squirls of water in the blue sea are also an attractive element here. You had a good viewpoint - excellent photo. The colour is different in the WS photos and not as natural looking; did you try some new PP effect?

jhm (201755) 2006-04-19 6:53

Hi my friend Fernanado,
The combination between the rock tops and the white sea foam give a lovely composition, you make very much work through the different links at other TE members too! Nicely composed and great one,Fernando.
Thanks a lot.
Greetings from Belgium,
John

plimrn (21344) 2006-04-19 9:02

Ola Fernando,
I like the diagonal line formed by the coastline and the 'monks' in your well-framed photo. Your sharp deatail shows the foamy wash around the rocks like petals on a flower. And as always, the color is wonderful.
Regards, Pat

fverde (1699) 2006-04-19 9:49

Olá Fernando!
Mais uma grande foto, acabadinha de chegar do baú dos Açores. Como admirador confesso das paisagens marítimas, só posso ficar contemplativo e inebriado perante este espectáculo. A cor da água e a espuma própria da rebentação nas rochas está representada de forma sublime. Quase se sente a maresia inundar os pulmões e encher-nos de nostalgia... Obrigado pelas palavras simpáticas em relação à minha obra. Sou apenas um simples fotógrafo apaixonado pelo mar, mas que encontra nas suas palavras motivos suficientes para não parar. Sinceros agradecimentos e um abraço do tamanho do mar!
Fernando.

Henryk_Bilor (20803) 2006-04-19 11:45

Ola Fernando
Nice image. I like the rough water around the rocks. I didn`t realise that the rock could swim ;).
Regards

TeresaT (10806) 2006-04-19 14:30

Olá amigo Fernando,
Mais uma bonita imagem dos Açores com o mar sempre presente- e muito bem, porque de facto estas suas imagens mostram na perfeição a beleza natural do nosso país "à beira mar plantado".
È interessante ver estes rochedos a brotar no meio do mar.
As cores estão perfeitas bem como a definição da imagem.
Um beijo
Teresa

alford (4063) 2006-04-19 20:06

Hi Fernando! Rocks on the sea are always very fascinating to watch! I like watching how the waves break against them! Very good high angle shot! The sharpness and lighting are very nice! I don't know about the plant at the lower right corner, but IMHO, i think it should not be there. rgds.

Kenny10pin (19301) 2006-04-20 9:51

great work, I like the way you shot this one, very good white waters around the rocks, very unique rocks here, well done

jemaflor (134240) 2006-04-21 6:10

Hi Fernando,
Nice view with an excelent POV and well composed with an interesting diagonal. Perfect light and colors, TFS.

Tue (81196) 2006-04-21 18:15

Hej Fernando,
Nice seascape. I like the white parts in the sea and the rocks are well placed in the composition. The little green at the right hand side is a good detail. Very beautiful.
Hilsen,
Lars

aznegrao (10316) 2006-04-21 20:07

Bom dia Fernando,
Adoro o título desta!
Ninguém tem tantos links...até me perco com tanta informação. Graças a si, já fui dar o meu contributo ao seu homónimo.

Um post dedicado aos rochedos perdidos ao largo. Gosto bastante das 3 imagens, as duas em ws com cores fortes e passagem por neat image, parece-me. O original ganha bastante força, acompanhado das outras, com excelentes cores naturais. A composição é bem equilibrada com o canto verde e o genial título, não me deixa ver aquelas rochas de outra maneira que não sejam monges a nadar para a costa. Muitos parabéns por todo o trabalho e sentido de partilha, como ninguém!
Um abraço amigo,
Ricardo

Ola Fernando,
J'ai toujours très apprécié tes critiques sensibles intelligentes et encourageantes; comme j'ai aussi aimé ton travail original et très intéressant sur TE. Tu étais un des meilleurs photographes sur TE. Tu nous manqueras.
Repose en paix.
Fabrice

bertolucci (14052) 2006-04-22 5:32

Ola Fernando,
Yet another gem of the Acores in nicely saturated colours, the sea and the waves look enticing and the Monks are very well positioned in the frame. This makes for a dynamic viewing experience. The shrubbery in the right-under angle is slightly disturbing, but not too much.
Good and interesting job!
Best regards and have a nice weekend,
Bert
===================
I wrote the above text yesterday evening before I heard the terrible news. Strange and sad to re-visit them now......
Thank you so much for your beautiful work and words Fernando. It inspired me and induced travel plans. Rest in peace caro amigo. When we look at the Portugues ocean, we'll know you will be there.

Vai com Deus e até a vista.

Since I just joined TE, I did not know Fernando and as I understand I will never know him, since he is not with us anymore.
Also I understand, that he is a great loss as a friend of the few people, that I had contact with at TE.
May it be only a small comfort to let know that I like his photography that is archived here.

devimeuxbe (58557) 2006-04-22 17:39

Fernando,
Tu étais comme un roc au dessus de la mer.
Tu étais fort alors que tout change, tout se transforme, tout est fluide et futile.
Tu étais comme nous tous, tu te croyais immortel.
TOn regard était juste et ta parole utile.

Je ne sais pas pourquoi, ce jour tout a changé.
La mer s'est transformée. Elle est monté. Elle a tout englouti. Tu est parti dans un océan de douleurs. Je pense à ta famille et à tes proches.
Je sais que tu es allé voir ailleurs.
Je sais aussi que tu nous a laissé ton regard.
Alors merci
Bertrand

Fernando, You were like a rock on the top of the sea. You were strong but all changes, all is fluid and futile.
You were like us all, you believed yourself immortal.
Your glance was right and your useful word.
I do not know why, today all changed.
The sea changed. It go up. It absorbed everything.
You left in an ocean pains. I think at your family and your close relations.
I know that you went to see elsewhere.
I also know that you left us your glance. Then thank you
Bertrand

Fernando,
Onde quer que esteja quero que saiba que nunca o esqueceremos quer pela sua simpatia, pelas suas criticas sempre construtivas, pela sua amabilidade.
A noticia da sua partida entristece-me não só porque a comunidade TE perdeu um membro fantástico que muito contribuia para o bom desenvolvimento da mesma, mas porque se oerdeu um homem bom ( e digo isto em nunca ter tido o prazer de o conhecer).
Descance em paz meu amigo, nós nunca o esqueceremos!!!
À familia e amigos, as minhas sentidas condolências porque apesar de nunca ter conhecido pessoalmente o Fernando, tenho a certeza de um bom Homem nos deixou.

ADEUS FERNANDO

Fernando this blue water represents your spirit and the memory I have of you. Always renewed, never equal. A permanent revive. The blue is your favorite colour and symbol of your pride. You loved the blue in your photos. You are right. Now the blue is your new place; be happy forever.
Goodbye my dear friend

kinginexile (2598) 2006-04-23 0:04

I read the 3 pages of salutation to Fernando, it is even more gripping than the condoleances on the forum, as we are saying goodbye to a fellow photographer, but hello to his photography, yet again, as I read his notes, written forever in the present. These 2 modest points each of us gives him, one after the other, and together as one, have never meant so much.

Niara78 (0) 2006-04-23 4:35

Dear Fernando,

Thank you for all the beautiful photos you have given us. I'll be often visiting your gallery, you'll be always alive and with us. Thank you for supporting me from the very first day I joined TE, for the kind and warm words, for the good advice that made me a better photographer, for being our Galmeida.
You will never be forgotten, dear friend.

Muitos beijinhos Amigo...

Rest in peace, be well; see you next time!

What a beautiful memory you've left us with; both with this photo and with your life...

Thank you, always, you will be missed.

Fernando,

Like elihesamian, I am deeply touched by your very kind words, undeserved, all the more since I am no real sailor (just an "amateur" of ships, a "marin d'eau douce" as we say in France...).

You were promising a cliff view and this is one is full of depth, your camera pointing directly at these rocks beaten by the waves in that wonderfull blue sea. I just imagine Ulysses wondering whether he will fall on Chabybus or Scylla (since some say that the mythological monsters were only rocks...).

All the best,

Emmanuel

Addendum :
I am not to change what I said. I will just add that Fernando, like Ulysses, has gone for another voyage...

Ola Fernando

I hope that it will be a nice a nice trip for you ... You now got a real high POV, hope you didn't forget your camera there ...

For all critics and advices you give ... Obrigado

A last green smile to hide sadness ...

Bye Fernando - I'm not good at sentimental words, I'm sure wherever you are you are surrounded by as beautiful as scenery as in this photo.

Vaya con Dios,

Para o Nosso Amigo, Fernando
Tenho andado nestes ultimos tempos arredado do TE, apenas acompanhando ocasionalmente, e muito me chocou a notícia sobre o Fernando.
Nascemos para o TE com uma diferença de 10dias e desde de sempre foi de uma amizade e generosidade inagualável.

Aproveito este espaço para relembrar uma das paixões do Fernando: o mar.

A sua Paixão, que também é nossa, e muitas vezes cantada pelos nossos Poetas:

VOZES DO MAR (de Florbela Espanca)

Quando o sol vai caindo sobre as águas
Num nervoso delíquio d'oiro intenso,
Donde vem essa voz cheia de mágoas
Com que falas à terra, ó mar imenso?...

Tu falas de festins, e cavalgadas
De cavaleiros errantes ao luar?
Falas de caravelas encantadas
Que dormem em teu seio a soluçar?

Tens cantos d'epopeias? Tens anseios
D'amarguras? Tu tens também receios,
Ó mar cheio de esperança e majestade?!

Donde vem essa voz, ó mar amigo?...
... Talvez a voz do Portugal antigo,
Chamando por Camões numa saudade!

Boa viagem, Fernando

Obrigado pela tua amizade
Filipe

aloyho (6798) 2006-05-09 2:59

Hi Fernando,
A farewell for a dear friend.
The ocean and the waves will always be with us.
Rest in peace and goodbye.

Goodbye Fernando,
Ce qui est vraiment extraordinaire avec TE, c'est que je ne te connaissais pas et j'ai l'impression d'avoir perdu une vieille connaissance, un ami qui me serait très cher!
Aurevoir Fernando!

Dear Fernando Guedes Almeida.

May your spirit rest in peace in some calm and blue ocean like are the ones you sared with us on TE. May your soul give a message to all of us what was like to be a great man above all.

Rest in peace, my friend.
