Madeira, Portugal



Is there a rule or expectation about the placement of a village in order to establish itself? Like the countryside. Amidst rolling hills? Tucked into valleys?

Apparently not. The frightening perch chosen by village settlers on the precarious side of a terraced mountain sparks curiosity and undying questions as to why. Perhaps it was for the commanding view more than the fear of a misstep.
