Cape Verde

Cape Verde 2014. The sprit, paradise, adventure and culture of African, Brazilian & Portuguese all mixed into one wonderful place, a mere 16 deg N of the equator. The trip was very chilled with a hint of adventure thrown in. All images captured with Olympus OM-D E-M1 and 12-40mm, 75-300mm lenses - OM-D portability/quality is paramount for my travels nowadays. I did also Scuba dive on the trip but had no uw housing so no diving pics, sorry. Shame because the marine life was spectacular and abundant. A number of the in-camera art filters were used to good effect, namely Dramatic Tone, Key Line (Love this new one), Diorama & Gentle Sepia.

    Passing boat as sun was setting. Looking into the sun makes for some very special shots when you get the subjects.
    Right on the north side of Sal in Cape Verde a certain barren wasteland location offers great mirages. The hot dry conditions also a breeding grounds for dust devils. Hot rising convective air swept into a spinning frenzy via the coastal winds. Not a tornado, although certain similarities in appearance.
    Huge waves, clear Atlantic waters (22C) & lots of wind make for a wind/kite surfing paradise.
