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.

    Right on the north side of Sal in Cape Verde a certain barren wasteland location offers great mirages (A mirage is a naturally occurring optical phenomenon in which light rays are bent to produce a displaced image of distant objects or the sky). In this case the false water affect provide by the real blue sky. Great to capture on camera.
    Just before the sun disappeared below low horizon cloud an array of crepuscular rays pierced downwards to light up the Cape Verde coastline. Do watch out for this effect, it is common and equally spectacular.
    Sunset DJ sets the ambience with chill out numbers at the Melia Tortuga. Watch, listen & drink Moet......paradise.
