I like flowers but normaly I don't now the name. This is an exemple. But I like this colors and I take a picture. You can see them in a little church near Jardim Municipal, the presbyterian church. 

Quinta Vigia has beautifull gardens that can be visited for free. In this photo, where you see the geometrics figures on the top left, it was a tennis court until some years ago. 

I have some plants and small trees in my garden, the last floor of a small building surrounded by museums. This is an real olive from one of them. 

The Saborável factory was born in 1905 in Funchal. It's principal production is the traditional sweets regional Madeira Island. Today have some 160 products Saborável, many variants, fruit development and innovation of traditional recipes. 

I like very much cuise ships. And, from my home I can see them coming and going out in Funchal port that had in 2011 the visit from 303 cruise ships and more than 540.000 passagengers. I did this zoom to the last departure of Ventura, a big cruise ship. Like you see, the passagengers appreciate that special moments. Gosto muito de navios de cruzeiros. E, da minha casa, tenho a felicidade de poder vê-los entrar e sair do Porto do Funchal que em 2011 teve a visita de 303 paquetes e mais de 540 mil passageiros. Fiz este zoom na última partida do Ventura, um grande navio de cruzeiros. Como pode ver, os passageiros apreciam muito estes momentos.

You can see this picture with Riviera cruise ship departs from Funchal port and all houses in land. Above I put a video that I make in that moment.

    Two flags in an official building. The green an red it's from Portugal, my country. And the other one, blue and yellow, it's from Madeira Autonomous Region, where I live. Normaly, they put the flags on weekends and public holidays. 

   
   I take this picture in Funchal bay, in a place where they put all rocks that came by streams on a bad day of heavy rains in the city, on february 20th 2010. They put plenty of rocks and debris on a beach. Now, the idea is to make one more point to dock big ships. For now, it provides a picture ugly. But, in the ugly, I found in this framework that I liked, despite the simplicity. ~~~~ Fiz esta fotografia na baía do Funchal, num local onde estão depositadas as pedras e rochas que vieram pelas ribeiras num dia de grandes chuvadas na cidade, a 20 de fevereiro de 2010. Colocaram uma infinidade de rochas e detritos sobre uma praia. Agora, a ideia é fazer mais um ponto para atracar navios. Por enquanto, proporciona uma imagem feia. Mas, no feio encontrei este enquadramento e gostei, apesar da simplicidade.

    This paintings exist since many years in a travel agency named Ferraz. Those ships did regular trips from some countrys to another. And they came to Madeira island during the trip. But the airplanes change everything and the long regular lines stopped.
This travel agency continues to have a link to ships in supporting in passage through Funchal port. The principal company is Costa Cruises. I think it was since the time this company did regular trips with sips like Frederico C.
