World's smallest port, a photo from Acores, Islands

Photographer's Note

A couple of years ago, while visiting the island of El Hierro - where by the way the shoreline boasts the mildest climate of the world, if semiarid climates are also considered(see theme) - a highlight was a visit to the "World's smallest hotel".
Google shows that actually many hotels claim this title.

That is not the case for "world's smallest port" or "world's smallest harbor": I just googled it and the results all point to Depot Bay, Oregon, a town that calls itself the World's Smallest Port.

Comparing this port with Depot Bay one can conclude that the Azores can claim this superlative.
This port could even claim other superlatives, beginning with having more than one reason to include it in the "37 degrees" theme...

interesting high POV, i like the curved road, and the idea of this narrow format to emphasize the concept of smallest harbor in the world, sure it is as it can't be smaller

Olá Ilena,
Amazing POV and view! It's vertiginous! The fact that the houses and the boats are actually small enhances even more the feeling that it was taken from much high. The harbor is really tiny and that sinuous little road makes it very attractive and dynamic. I like the very tight crop, but I think you shouldn't haven't cropped the road on the upper left and mid right.
Um abraço, José.
