Sunday rest, a photo from Madeira, Islands

Photographer's Note

Funchal, freguesia de Monte.

On Sunday, "carros de cesto" are at rest. The week they make the happiness of hundreds of tourists, tempted by the most famous attraction of the island of Madeira: a 2km descent in these wicker sleigh, guided by two conductors in traditional dress, "Carreiros".

This course at high speed in the steep streets of Monte, a freguesia (subdivision) of the city of Funchal, takes about ten minutes.

In the nineteenth century, wicker sledge was the main means of transport used by residents of Monte to go to Funchal.

Bonjour Delphine.
Bonne note d'information, ce qui conduit à la compréhension de cette image unique et curieux, bon POV avec des paniers de repos à côté de l'entrée de l'hôtel, une attraction que je ne pas effectuer lorsque j'ai visité Madère.
Très bien équilibrée éclairage et très bonne netteté.
Bien fait. Je l'aime.
Je vous souhaite une très belle semaine.
Meilleurs vœux.
Luis.
