When the days get shorter and the weather more uncomfortable the time has come to escape the cold. Not too far from the Portuguese capital of Lisbon the subtropical Island of Madeira entices visitors with wild coastlines, rugged mountains and abundant vegetation. During my last visit to Madeira I tried to capture the essence of the island with my camera.
My third visit to the island of fire and ice provided an opportunity to explore the remote Icelandic highlands.
The barren and empty landscape lets you forget the never ending stream of visitors crowding the ring road along the coast. If you are prepared to tackle the adventurous roads and the changeable weather you will be rewarded with extraordinary photographs.
