MadeiraSpotlight

Madeira Botanical Garden: a terraced view of Funchal

The Madeira Botanical Garden climbs a hillside above Funchal, its terraces stepping down toward the harbor. Plants from around the world grow beside island natives, and the paths turn every few steps to reveal a different view of the city and the sea. Wander slowly, follow the paths downhill, and pause at a bench facing the bay.

Photographing the Véu da Noiva waterfall

On Madeira's north coast, the Véu da Noiva, the Bridal Veil, is a thin waterfall that slides straight down a cliff toward the Atlantic. Shoot from the viewpoint along the coast road, using the sea and cliff as a frame. Zoom in for a tight shot of the falling water, or step back to include the dark rock face for scale. A slower shutter softens the water.

Puerto RicoSpotlight

Paseo de la Princesa: a walk beneath the old walls

In Old San Juan, the Paseo de la Princesa is a tree-lined promenade that runs along the foot of the old city walls toward the harbor. Wide paths, benches, and a fountain at the far end make it an easy, shaded stroll. Locals come to walk, pause, and watch the bay. Start beside the walls and let the view of the water open up as you go.
