The coastal village of Ribeira da Janela, on the north-western side of Madeira, is home to one of the island's most iconic rock formations: Ilheus da Ribeira da Janela, consisting of Ilheus da Rib, Ilheus da Janela and its little brother Ilheuzinho. The rocks were formed by lava and stand a few metres from rocky shores where you can therefore easily admire them from the pebble beach or the higher viewpoint.
My hostel was only a 15-minute drive away from this, so I drove here several times with different weather conditions each time which produced unique scenes time after time. I found several beautiful angles there and played a bit with slower and slower shutter speeds which resulted in the water flowing like a soft veil over the boulders on the beach one time and at slower shutter speeds you can observe the splashing water on the rocks.
Madeira has so much more to offer! And so do I :-). Be sure to take a look at my Madeira album to admire the other photos I took here.

When I'm on the road I always have my camera with me because you never know what an opportunity will present itself and it would be a shame not to be able to capture that perfect moment. I like to look..
