Hi there my Hivean friends and followers!
When on travels, I always try to capture what I get to see with my photos but sometimes, I take videos too. Definitely not as often as I snap shots - I probably have dozens of thousands of photos vs. just a few dozens of videos - but I still think some of them deserve to be published here on my blog too. As you might remember from some of my older video posts though, I always had some issues with the video platforms here on the chain. Originally, I used to use D-Live (that must have been back in the old days of Steem) but this project left the chain and all the videos uploaded to the platform were defunct. Then, I tried to use D-Tube for several of my video posts but for some reason, this platform never really worked me... Usually, I couldn´t upload the video to D-Tube at all and when I somehow did, it was not working anyway... Frustrated by those futile attempts, I created a Youtube account and to my surprise, uploading to Youtube proved to be very fast and easy and the videos work just fine. With that being said, it seems that I finally have a place where I can share videos with you so I decided to come up with this special series called Video Wednesday. I don´t know if I can run this series every week, probably not because I don´t really have that many interesting videos and I am not planning to start recording like crazy from now on just because of this series, but maybe every other Wednesday or so, I should be able to come up with a new episode.
So this is the very first episode of the series and we will start out easy as I am going to kick off with a short video featuring some beautiful panoramic views of the Sao Miguel Island as seen and captured from the top of Pico de Mafra, a little hill located in the northeastern part of the island.

I hope you enjoyed the video and I would also appreciate any feedback on this new series of mine. Videos really haven´t been my thing so any tips, suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated indeed. Thanks :)
