Cabo Girão

Cabo Girão, one of the highest promontories in Europe, is bathed by the late evening sunlight, in a picture taken from Câmara de Lobos.

With a height of almost six hundred meters above sea level, the cliff's face falls almost vertically on the ocean below.

Picture taken with Nikon F100 and Sigma EX 70-200 f/1:2.8D APO HSM (uuufff!) lens.

Manfrotto tripod and ball head.
