AÇORES (Azores) |
|
I come from the Island of Pico in the Azores (Azores Site) |
Location Mid-Atlantic Ridge |
The island of
PICO (so called because it is a
7,713 feet high 2,351 meters high, pico = peak in English) Click to enlarge these NASA Photos |
Click the pics below to see a version of the image |
|
Arriving home, from the plane you can see how tiny the island is (not the small island on the left but the one in center with clouds over it) |
the city of Horta The city of Horta on Faial behind me Yes it is an active volcano. |
You can see the snow on the peak. |
Pico is the tallest Mountain in all of Portugal and one of the tallest in Europe. Over 7000' high |
A view from the water, Madalena lillage on the left side |
A view from half way up the mountain |
Village of Madalena, a closer view from the water showing the church I used to attend as a kid |
the village of Madalena on Pico where I grew up |
Me halfway up the mountain |
My brother Vital by the lagoon |
Me by the monument commemorating 500 years since the first chapel was built in 1460 by the Order of Christ |
The interior of the chapel the old knights, settlers and navigators used to pray in built in 1460 |
