One of the painted doors of Santa Maria street in Funchal, Portugal. One of the last times I was in the town of Funchal, on the island of Madeira, by ship, I discovered this street in the old town by chance. It is a special place where, in addition to finding many restaurants and bars, you can admire these doors (but not only those) painted in an artistic way. The one in this photo, at number 1, represents the street itself.

La torre della cattedrale di Funchal nell’isola di Madera. Amo fotografare le città dalla nave, quando non riesco a scendere a terra, perchè con un buon teleobiettivo si possono evidenziare particolari carini. Come in questo caso dove ho posto l’attenzione sul campanile della cattedrale di Funchal.

The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is the Catholic cathedral of Funchal, Portugal, and the seat of the Diocese of Funchal. It is located in the center of the city, not far from the marina, in the area called Campo del Duca. Its construction began in the late 1400s. It was the first important church built on the island. Previously, there was a church near the beach of Calhau, but as the number of inhabitants increased thanks to the flourishing sugar cane trade, the church could no longer accommodate all the faithful, so it was decided to build a larger one in the center of the city.

Una barchetta sul fiume Tago a Lisbona. Non sono stato molte volte a Lisbona con la nave ed ancora meno sono uscito a fare un giretto. Mi devo accontentare di alcune foto che ho scattato dalla nave come questa di una barchetta a vela che solca le acque dell’estuario del fiume Tago proprio di fronte alla capitale portoghese.

La Chiesa di Santa Engrácia a Lisbona dalla nave. Spesso, quando sono in nave e quando il porto è particolarmente vicino al centro, mi piace salire sui ponti più alti e fotografare i monumenti o gli edifici da una prospettiva insolita (che forse solo con un drone di può avere). Come in questo caso, la mia nave era a Lisbona ed ho scattato diverse foto che piano piano inserisco. Questa è una delle chiese maggiori della città portoghese, eletta a Pantheon per la sua imponenza e per il fatto che si riesce a vedere da quasi ogni angolo della città.
