This is the first panorama I'm actually showing, and probably only 3rd in my life. It's not that wide, but i liked the composition here. The condiditons were quite hard: it began to rain, the wind was crazy and was taking it without tripod. Light went nuts too :)

This is beautiful. Is the rainbow real like that though? I always wonder how different Madeira is to mainland Portugal...they must be completely different countries unto themselves. Your composition is superb.

eeritrocite thanks a lot :) and yes, rainbow is 100% real. we saw many of them there. it's because the weather is changing quite rapidly, so you have rain and sun mixing all the time.
and about Madeira and Portugal mainland, they aren't that different i thought. perhaps a bit with this weather changes and high peaks. but besides that they have a lot in common, like dry land, special types of flora and fauna...
