Gorse (Ulex europaeus) at Bica da Cana, Madeira

Gorse (Ulex europaeus) at Bica da Cana, Madeira

Framing the rugged central mountains of Madeira, a bush of flowering Gorse (Ulex europaeus) adds a splash of yellow to the high-altitude heathland near Bica da Cana. The view extends over dense thickets of Tree Heath (Erica arborea) toward a distant layer of clouds hovering over the Atlantic coastline. This winter scene captures the clear visibility and unique flora of the island's mountainous interior along the ER110 road.
