Olá Miguel,

O postal ilustrado típico de Santana na Ilha da Madeira. O pov está muito fechado para meu gosto, assim mostra somente "a coisa" fotografada , fica por mostrar onde se insere no contexto. Ok, mas quando estamos de férias só pensamos no disparo para recordação.

Hi Miguel!
Nice little miracle tales-house. Just Jack and Jill is missing and of course the witch :-)
An interesting sight, the specific architecture. To be sure, not a rich neighborhood. The front garden is beautiful. Thanks, you showed me. Csaba
