Sketches and pictures of old Funchal

Here are some of the pictures I have taken of sketches, pictures and tile fresco of old Funchal I have come across and photographed.

Madeira and Funchal have inspired artists and photographers and is indeed a super island to explore camera in hand.

Moody Funchal, my favorite sketch
