The scene was breathtaking and magical. Totally worth the early start of the day.
5 stars, would definitely recommend.

A must see on Madeira. Were thinking many others too.
I was expecting a few others and their cars up there. In reality, hundreds of people were there and all together we sat like in an ancient amphitheatre, and were watching the sun slowly rising.
One of th ethings on Madeira I was keen on:
Sunrise above the clouds. Early morning ride through the darkness up to Pico Arieiro, hoping for clouds. Felt happy to see them upon arrival.
(this will be a series throughout the next days)
Due to the lack of vacations or any other social activity, I have to bore you with a sunrise again. This time in pastel colours. Taken last week in the early morning
This photo was originally puplished on my Instagram account.
Took this photo the day after. This time in the right place. Unfortunately the light was not that awesome as on the day before.
Similar to January 2011’s solar eclipse the spectacle had already begun when the sun was risen in our area on June 6th this year. Since I have heard about that, the goal was again to capture the rising sun with Venus in front of it. So I set the alarm clock to 4.45am, had a look outside on a clear sky and went up the hill behind the house. 20 Minutes later the sun climbed over the Ettersberg and Venus was visible as a small black dot. Like a piece of dust on the light orange ball. The photo shows exact this moment.
