Photographer's Note
high on the plateau the waters gather for the descent to sea level
here they cascade freely before being conducted by the levada complex
"The Lakes of Madeira
This is a walk unlike any other. Many of our guests tell us it is the walk they have enjoyed the most. Deep in the valley of western plateau, you will marvel at the lakes and rock pools, that over millions of years have been carved out by the waters as they rush towards the sea, forming magnificent waterfalls and cascades. In summertime fring your costume and enjoy a cool crisp swim in these crystal clear and invigorating mountain waters. You will experience a diversity of walking terrain from the flatness of the levadas to the gradients of the mountains tracks, as we make our way up the valley. From forest trekking, along unmarked routes, to scrambling up to the oldest levada in the west of the island. An unforgettable experience."

Hello Geof,
Haven't heard from you for a while, welcome back. A very nice composition of this waterfall with some beautiful tones and textures. The absence of the sky puts the emphasis clearly on the subject. Well managed exposure captures the water droplets well. Very good work.

Hi Geof, Great to see a post from you after so long. You've probabaly been on holiday enjoying yourself and not going anywhere near a computer. I have tried to take a few waterfalls but without acheiving results as good as this shot. Exposure just right, giving a sense of movement but without turning the water into a solid white flow, and lots of intersting detail in the surrounding rocks - all sharp. Well done. Cheers, Steve

Hi Geof,
Wonderful textures .. I love the mellow color palette .. wonderful peaceful mood .. very nice .. there is something about the sharpness/focus that feels just a touch strange to me .. but it is a beautiful image .. again very nice. take care, John
