Twillingate to Fogo

 

Fogo is an island up there on the North coast, and somehow there is something wild about it (correct intuition – as explained later during a hike, see below). We enter the harbor through a very, very narrow passage between the cliff and a scattering of islands and reefs, no markers at all, to get through one must sail right up to the cliff and do a sharp turn, there is no room for error.  Once on the “inside” of the passage (like when the video was shot) it looks allright…



Later, it occurred to me that I ALREADY was in Fogo - the one in Cabo Verde Islands. Then on a walk we found this - 

Maybe the sharp turn to enter the harbor feels sharper because of the planet distortions at Fogo. It does feel that if you miss it, you will be falling out off the planet. 


Here as well, we are accommodated on the fishing quays.  Sometimes, there is not so much room tough… 



Classical landscape... we dont really get tired of this

Art-wise, apparently in Fogo they are more into installations. See the Wunderkammer.
