Funchal, Madeira.
Our last day ... we went up to the Botanical Gardens.
This is the second stage ... the cable car from Monte to the Botanical Gardens. It was a bit windy today ... they would only sell us tickets in stages in case they suddenly had to shut down the cable cars. It was slightly scary ... you could feel the car swinging a little.
There are buses that go up to the gardens, so one would not have been stranded ... and it would not have been impossible to walk back down.
I'm not happy with this, but it's an approximation of what I'm trying to do--which is to play around with the kinds of botanical prints done in 18th century.
Suggestions for improvement welcome!
