Madeira is a portuguese island 630 km west of the African coast. It is often referred to as the *island of flowers* and offers a very unique vegetation paired with distinct human development. Aurora and I had a beautiful apartment in Caniço de Baixo that offered excellent light and angles. Outdoors meant driving a wonderfully under motorized Fiat Panda up and down Madeira‘s steep mountainous roads, always looking for *picture stops*, stopping at previously researched spots. The whole experience was outright wonderful as Aurora and I share a most inspiring working relationship.
