What do a couple of photographers do on Christmas Day when they’re away from family and friends and it’s pouring down rain outside? Well, print of course! Come over to the blog site to find out what we printed and why.

Do you ever wonder whether you’re nuts? I wonder that about myself all the time. So does Ann (about me). Join us on the blog site for recent discoveries that prove, at least from a photography perspective, that neither Ann nor I are nuts. At least not totally.

We learned a couple of things about weather at Madeira, one we knew and one we didn’t. First of all, Madeira has several micro-climates. It can be pouring down rain in one part of the island, and sunny in another.

Given that all three weather apps we consult for our photography excursions were showing one final day of clear skies followed by 7 days (i.e. until after we have to leave) of rain, Ann and I decided we should select a levada hike to take. Most of the hikes involve moderate, with occasional steep sections to hike, which generally isn’t a problem, but they’re mostly on well-polished stones, which is an issue when its wet.
