The photograph shows an irregularly shaped crater lake from an elevated vantage point. The surrounding crater walls are covered in grasses and heather. A few Japanese cedars stand on the headland jutting out into the lake. The photograph was taken on an exceptionally clear day; in the background, one can even see the island’s highest peak. The name Lagoa do Fogo means ‘Lake of Fire’ and refers to the fact that most of the time clouds drift over it or (even more often) the lake is completely shrouded in clouds, which is reminiscent of smoke from a fire. The picture was taken from the Miradouro da Barrosa, which is about two hundred metres from the top of the pass*). *) In high season, the access to Lagoa do Fogo is prohibited for hired cars. The shuttle bus stops at the top of the pass - so it's worthwhile to go down the road to this spot.

The picture shows narrow, high rocky outcrops that drop almost vertically into the sea, sparsely covered with grass at the top. In the background are pastures and a few scattered houses belonging to the village of Ribeirinha.

Picture shows a very common fruit tree in São Miguel: Limão galego (Rangpur lime), Citrus limonia 'Osbeck'. A naturally occurring hybrid of orange and lemon. An incredibly hardy and high-yielding citrus fruit. It looks like a mandarin, is as sour as a lemon and has the aroma of an orange. In the 18th century, oranges were grown on a large scale in São Miguel, but this was abandoned in the 19th century due to the leaf miner moth. The Rangpur lime served as the rootstock for oranges. Although these are also attacked by the leaf miner moth, they produce new leaves so quickly that it does not affect them. Nowadays, you can see one or more of these trees in almost every garden. Their juice is ideal with fish. The juice, or even the whole fruit, freezes very well. And you can make one of the best English-style marmalades from it, as the peel is bitter (even if the locals never do it, because 'bitter' is obsolete in the Portuguese cuisine).

The viewer looks out over a well-trodden path, worn away by water erosion, which slopes gently downwards. Surrounding it are grasses, shrubs, heather and mosses. Further down, meadows, fields and groves of Japanese cedar can be seen. At the top of the picture lies the Atlantic Ocean.

The picture shows the eastern plateau of the island of São Miguel, with its forests and pastures stretching all the way to the highest peaks in the background (approx. 25–30 km away). In the foreground are a few Cryptomeria japonica trees (Japanese cedar), which have evidently self-seeded. Lenticular clouds stretch across the blue sky from right to left (south-west to north-east), which is characteristic of a foehn weather situation. About three hours later, the spot from which the photo was taken was shrouded in thick clouds and pouring (warm) rain. As a former resident of the northern Alpine foothills, I am familiar with the Föhn and was astonished to find it here with such intensity on that day (I even had a slight headache in the morning). After all, the ridge is only about 800 m high, not 2–3,000 m as in the Alps.

The photograph shows, in the foreground and in the shade, a foxtail or swan’s neck agave with a fully developed inflorescence. The agave’s leaves are rather short and do not prick; the inflorescence is several metres long and forms an arch rising upwards. In the background, bathed in bright sunlight, lie the green and blue waters of the Atlantic and the cliffs. The villages of Achadinha and Achada, just a few kilometres away, can be seen. A traffic sign warns that the road down to the sea has a 25% gradient.

The viewer looks out over an almost circular pond which, protected by a narrow, low concrete wall, borders the Atlantic. A wave is just lapping over this small wall, which also has at least one barred opening below the waterline to allow the water in the pond to circulate. Behind the pond, you look out over a bay that ends on the right at the rocky cliffs of Capelas. Further back, you can see the flat section of the north coast with its many small volcanic cones stretching as far as Ponta do Cintrão. The sky is heavily overcast.

The picture shows several mountain peaks, all of which, apart from the steepest slopes, are covered in vegetation right up to the summit. The vegetation consists mainly of grasses and heather, including tree heath (Erica azorica). On the right of the picture is a forest of Japanese cedar. It is sunny, but a band of white clouds touches some of the peaks and casts shadows on the slopes.

The viewer looks down a stream filled with small, rounded rocks that flows into the Atlantic Ocean. A wave about 4–5 metres high is just breaking on the ocean side. To the right is a steep rocky cliff. To the left is a bathing area consisting of terraces, the sides of which are adorned with larger, rounded natural stones. The joints between these stones have just been freshly painted white. Not visible is the small seawater pool situated in front of the terraces. On the far left, incidentally, you can see the picnic table with the mushroom-shaped stools, a picture of which I posted a few days earlier.
