Hondon Valley Sunset

Ben — Fri, 22 Nov 2019 14:50:19 +0000

I've been over to Spain five times this year. Three for work and two to help my mother sort out my late Uncle's estate.

My uncle John lived close to the small town of Albatera in the region of Valencia. It is dominated by agriculture and backed to the west by mountains.

I'd wanted to explore the nearby hills and had heard of the area of Hondon. So in-between sorting out my uncle's possessions, we took a trip out one evening in the car. As we drove up into the hills I had a feeling we might get lucky and score a nice sunset. When we arrived at the top I took out the drone and managed to capture this beautiful view of the sun setting over the Hondon Valley.

I like to think that maybe my Uncle’s soul is up there looking down at us peacefully, somewhere amongst those beams of light behind the clouds.

Lagoinha Rivermouth

Lagoinha, Sapé and Maranduba are three connected beaches that form a massive bay as you enter the county of Ubatuba in Brazil. Its a great local option for surfing as the bay is open and doesn't suffer from being too close to Ilhabela (which can block the incoming swells).

If you're not into waves, then at each end of the bay are calmer, more protected areas, great for paddling and swimming.

This shot was taken on a Mavic Pro at the northern end of the beaches where the river enters the sea.
