The lighthouse stands strong and proud, lighting the way for ships and serving as a symbol of hope and guidance. Meanwhile, the breathtaking sunset paints the sky with shades of orange, pink and purple, creating a stunning contrast.
This was truly one of the most beautiful and colourful sunsets I have ever experienced and I almost missed the moment. On my last night on the island, after some hesitation, I had left for Ponta do Pargo anyway, hoping to capture a beautiful sunset. I hadn't really had much luck with that during my trip.
As the golden hour approached, it quickly became clear that it was going to be a beautiful spectacle, but I had the greatest difficulty getting there by car. It was unusually busy on the road and due to works the normal route was completely closed so I had to make a very big diversions. I arrived just after the sun had set and thus missed the effective sunset, but the colours in the sky magically lingered for a long time, making for some great pictures.
