Santa Maria,Azores (Final Project)
These pictures are all landscapes of the island Santa Maria, which is one of the 9 islands in the country of Azores. The Azores are a group of islands off the coast of Portugal, that are joined with the Portuguese government. These pictures mean a lot to me because half of my blood is Azorean and my family on my moms side is full blooded Azorean. Last summer I spent 6-weeks on this beautiful island and met most of my family and really connected with my Portuguese heritage. These pictures are all representations of different parts of the island, the first one is the cove where my family currently lives, and is called Sao Lourenco. The second picture is the church in Loural, where my grandparents got married, and many of my ancestors before them. The third picture is of a vineyard in Sao Lourenco that my family owns, and harvests every season to make wine. The fourth picture is of a small town in the center of the island that controls all the vehicle’s and rentable cars for tourists. I chose to incorporate these pictures because I feel like these four pictures represent my experience in Santa Maria, and express a little bit of my family heritage.
