This is the old path from Faja Grande to Ponta da Faja which passes between high stone walls made from rocks cleared from the surrounding fields. Though superseded by a motor road built in the 1960s. the old path is kept clear for the benefit of walkers.
✿ Camina bella, camina grácil, camina esbelta, pero camina fuerte, siempre fuerte.
❀ Walk beautiful, walk graceful, walk slender, but walk strong, always strong.

Any path is only a path, and there is no affront, to oneself or others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you... . . . .Look at every path closely and deliberately, Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself, and yourself alone, one question , , , Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't it is of no use.
from The Teaching of Don Juan by Carlos Castanedo
Stepping stones over a large pond lead to a small hut sitting surrounded by trees after light snowfall.
Stairs fly as straight as hawks;
Or else in spirals, curve out of curve, pausing
At a ledge to poise their wings before relaunching.
Stairs sway at the height of their flight
Like a melody in Tristan;
Or swoop to the ground with glad spread of their feathers
Before they close them.
They curiously investigate
The shells of buildings,
A hollow core,
Shell in a shell.
Useless to produce their path to infinity
Or turn it to a moral symbol,
For their flight is ambiguous, upwards or downwards as you please;
Their fountain is frozen,
Their concertina is silent.
"Flight Of Stairs", A.S.J. Tessimond

Path near Pico Ruivo, island of Madeira, Portugal.
Pico do Arieiro with its 1818 m (5965 ft) is the third highest peak of Madeira. It is comfortably accessible by car. We hiked from Pico do Arieiro to Madeira's highest peak, Pico Ruivo (1861 m / 6106 ft), and back.
Madeira is a Portuguese island in the Atlantic ocean, approximately 1000 km (620 mi) southwest of Lisbon and 700 km (435 mi) west of the Moroccan coast. Situated in a hot spot area, Madeira is of volcanic origin, formed during several eruptive phases, the last of which ended around 6500 years ago. Madeira is a very mountainous island. With an extent of only 57 km (35 mi) from west to east and 22 km (14 mi) from north to south, and with the highest mountain having an elevation of 1862 m (6109 ft), the terrain of the island is mostly very rocky and steep, except for the high plateau Paul da Serra.
Madeira is also known as the "island of flowers", although most of the popular "typical" Madeiran flowers (like the bird of paradise flower, the hydrangea, the agapanthus and others) are neither endemic nor native. Some of the genuine Madeiran plants are the "Pride of Madeira" (Echium candicans), Canary Islands Juniper (Juniperus cedrus) and the laurel forests of Madeira (the latter one being listed as UNESCO World Heritage).
Madeira is permeated by artificially built water channels called levadas, which distribute the water from the wetter northern half of the island to the agricultural regions of the south. The levadas, mostly built by prisoners or slaves, were cut into the side of the mountains, partly running through tunnels, and enabled for example the cultivation of sugar cane which was the source of the Madeiran wealth during the 15th to 17th century.
Today most of the levadas are still in use, not only for irrigation but also for hydroelectricity. Running across the whole island, they provide a wide network of walking paths, making even extremely remote regions of the island accessible to pedestrians, which is one of the reasons for Madeira's popularity as a hiking paradise.

As predicted, the people have spoken, and a new desire path is under construction further along. For history, see here.
A path leading towards a pink tulip field, 1 day before it was chopped (which I noticed today). Even though it was cloudy and a bit rainy I'm quite happy with the result, normally I don't take my camera out to the fields when it's rainy but I knew that soon they would be chopped.
This is an HDR from 3 exposures. and I used a Hitech 0.9 ND grad filter.
