A healthy portion of nature from Azores – Sao Miguel Island

I'll start with a few pics from past trips to get the hang of this blogging thing. Below, the twin lakes of Sao Miguel, Azores. Even with a basic point and shoot camera, the beauty of the place was hard to miss. The lush green scenery provided a great background for a lost, white building. …
