São Jorge/ Faial (Azores)

.
All images of this gallery were taken between June 19 and June 29 2022 on São Jorge and Faial islands (Azores, Portugal). For artistic reasons (I believe that photos should speak for themselves) no captions are displayed together with the images, but by holding your mouse over the thumbnails for a second you should get a brief title caption displayed as a popup-tooltip.
All images were taken with a Sony HX99 compact camera (which comprises a 24-720mm optical zoom range (in 35mm equivalent)).
