The Azores lie in the Mid Atlantic Ocean, and form an important stop over point for trans Atlantic yachtsmen. These images were taken on just one trip to Sao Miguel, Flores and Horta, all lush volcanic islands with amazing landscape features. The weather is often inclement as moist sea air hugs the mountains, which are just the visible peaks of an enormous range which sink to the deepest area of the Atlantic Ocean. I would visit these Portuguese owned archipelago any number of times as it is still relatively unaffected by main-scale tourism
