pico ruivo | madeira, portugal
One day in December I was lucky to be the first person to witness the sunrise in Madeira, from its highest peak - Pico Ruivo, 1862 m. Reaching up before 7 am wasn’t necessarily hard, however, the wind and the low temperatures added a bit of challenge to the climb. This picture was taken shortly before sunrise, when the little village of Santana (down) was still asleep under a dense cover of clouds, waiting for a new day to start.
