[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
There is an extensive network of levadas (aquaducts) in Madeira -- over 2000 kms worth. Wow.

In this case trees formed a moody tunnel over the levada. The levadas guide rainwater from the wetter side of the island to the dryer side. There are very pleasant hiking trails alongside these levadas. Sometimes these trails are 4 feet wide and sometimes only 1 foot wide with an abrupt cliff. Good personal balance is required.

It was quite dark in this tunnel and unfortunately a slow shutter speed and full open aperature were required for the braced but handheld shot.

Very beautiful composition. Wonderful colours.

Hi Karin,
Great POV, excellent colours and interesting view. The lead-ins are not perfect used though, the bottom side should been croped 1 cm higher. Nontheless a fine posting with stunning autumn colours!

Hie Karin,

what a splendid shot you have there. Good perspective and POV. I thought that the aqueduct was a road along the trees. Nice color composition and you've done a great job.

Hi KArin,
And what a superb capture this is. Good POV. I like the warm colours. Those trees look so amazing...you should capture them on their own. Well seen, composed and captured.

Hi Karin,
I like the use of the lead-in lines. Very sharp image and good play of light.
Well done. Best regards, Daniel

Hi Karin
Very interesting image, with the diagonal formed with the aqueduct and
the tunnel formed with the trees. Love the green moss. Well seen,
excellent presentation.

Hello Karin!

I like a lot you subjects and posts . A very original place and capture. A beautiful natural tunnel. You choose an excellent POV to illustrate the levadas.

A photo certainly worthed a thousand words here . Short bu very instructive note. Well done!
Robert

Hi Karin - the plays of colours through the trees really are wonderful, this is a lovely atmospheric shot. We did several levada walks when we were in Madeira but never managed to get any shots as good as this. Very professional shot!
