Coast Line

Madeira pebble beach, south shore.

City Tree

This is one of the interesting views on Madeira: Citys that go up and over themselves. And in the middle of a yard, second floor height, there is a huge tree growing and bearing flowers.

Bananas ripening

Here are the strange sights you have when checking out banana plantations from close up. We think that these are ripening measures.

South coast of Madeira.

Flowers behind the Wall

There are flowers behind the wall. A summer image from Madeira.

Dramatic Skies

You all know I just love dramatic skies.

Madeira, south coast.

Stacked

Life is kind of stacked on Madeira. It often looks like a model train set where the creators tried to get a lot of scenes into a small set. There are so many levels above one another... it is just funny when they acutally show in a picture.

Madeira Coast

The coast line of Madeira is more jagged in some spots than you would think.

Farming Hills

Houses in the farming hills of Madeira.

Birdie

Madeira Finches can be found in the woods during your hikes. Male Finch

Spooky fog

Spooky times in the highlands of Madeira, night falling, the fog so thick that you could slice it.

shore

This view is frequent on the shores of Madeira. Waves crashing onto the rocks and creating turbulent wateres in different colors.

Rugged Coastline

This is a section of the coastline of southern Madeira.

Sun patches

Very chaning weather condition on the south coast of Madeira were presenting us with very patchy light condition and impressive contrasts.

Wine plantation

Once again a shot from a road trip on Madeira.

Porto Moniz

Porto Moniz, south coast of Madeira.

The sun was falling on the large rock in the harbour area really nicely.

Do you spot the helicopter landing platform? It looks like a piece from a Lego set, doesn't it?

Foggy Coastline

PAPERminis: Making of City Scene

The PAPERminis look like this, when you "draw back" from the actual scene and take the surroundings into account.

Water soluable color pencils on paper.

Run, my dear

I know the shot is overlit, blurry and full of motion. I like it anyways. The reason is that this describes the situation pretty acurately.

The dear in full run downhills, in the counterlight, crossing our way in a distance.

Blossom

A single blossom.

The farmer's view

There is a riddle for you: Is this image taken in real life or is a model (like a model train set or landscape diorama)?


I have heard lots of different ideas by now, including good reasoning for both sides.


What is your oppinion?

Eagle Rock

Madeira, south shore, eagle rock

The Fruit Market

We were driving through the Madeira country side and we came across this busy fruit and flower market on a Sunday morning.

Spring is approaching

Old and Golden

Last year's vegetation.
In golden light.

Spring night

When taking a country side walk a week ago and this is how it looks when the sun sets.

Mistle Toe

When we went for the first longer spring walk this year we hiked through some wood land we had not been in before. The area is having a large population of mistle toe. This piece of forrest is having a very high amount of them.

Paperwork

I wish there was more time to photograph and be out and about at the moment, but acutally I am taking images of paperwork. This photo was taken for my regular contest.

Counterlit Road

How this one tree got into the line of the willow trees I do not know, but I liked the look of the mistle toe in the crown of the leafless winter tree.
