"I opted to turn backwards to the place where it had gone down into the inlet, even knowing that the sky hadn´t reach the peak of colors that light would be going to offer in the twilight. But there was no time. The place is too dangerous and it was time to head again towards the cliffs. I had already done my photography using several moments of spectacular light. Reaching the South corner of the cliff, before beginning to climb it up, I assist now the unforgettable sky, red clouds, I must photograph these colors - once again I set my tripod and machine. Without wasting much time and in a matter of few minutes I did the last photography, opting to center the interesting rock in the composition."

Em Português:
"Optei por voltar para trás até ao local onde havia descido à enseada, mesmo sabendo que ainda não tinha atingido o pico de cores que aquela luz iria oferecer no crepúsculo. Mas não havia tempo. O local é demasiado perigoso e era preciso tempo para voltar a subir a arriba. Eu já tinha feito a minha fotografia aproveitando vários momentos de luz espectacular. Chegando ao canto a Sul das arribas, antes de iniciar a subida, assisto agora ao céu inesquecível, nuvens vermelhas, tenho de fotografar estas cores, e monto novamente tripé e máquina. Sem perder muito tempo, em questão de poucos minutos fiz ainda a última fotografia, incidindo sobre um rochedo que optei por centrar na composição."
