Description
Sunrise comes over the Island of Sao Migel in the Azores illuminating the fields on the cliffs above and the sea stacks just off shore.
The islets of the Monasteries are a set of four large cliffs existing about half a nautical mile from the coast of the parish of Mosteiros, at the western end of the island of Sao Miguel, Azores. Within the Celtic tradition of monasticism on oceanic rocks, these rocks gave the name of Monasteries to the neighboring parish. These dramatic sea stacks are a popular tourist attraction. (May 2022)
