I recently spent a week on the beautiful Portuguese island of Madeira and in particular the main city, Funchal. These are some monochrome impressions of my trip, taken with X-Pro2 and X100T with a couple of guest appearances by my trusty GR. The macro shots, and a few of the others were taken with the Carl Zeiss Touit 50mm Macro - a surprisingly flexible and usable travel lens.
Let's start with a bit of "car porn" - A beautiful Austin 12 and a 1960s Opel:

Finally, and courtesy of my GR, this is my hotel, designed, as was Brasilia, by Oscar Niemeyer:

...and the adjoining casino, also designed by him, which just made me think of a Bond villain's lair. Pass me the chips, Vesper...
