Hiking Path

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.

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.

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?
