Cliff-edge views of Madeira's wild northern coastline

A vertical video shows a view of a rugged coastline with steep cliffs, lush green vegetation, and the ocean. The ocean has turquoise and blue water with white waves crashing against the rocks. Mountains rise behind the cliffs, with some peaks shrouded in mist. A waterfall is visible cascading down a cliff face on the right side of the frame. In the foreground, there are spiky green plants and bushes. The sky is cloudy.

This is an eye-level, long shot photograph taken from a cliff overlooking the ocean. In the foreground, several large aloe vera plants are visible. The ocean, colored a deep blue, stretches out to the horizon, meeting a hazy sky. Along the coastline, steep, green cliffs descend to the water, with waves crashing against the shore. A thin waterfall cascades down one of the cliffs in the middle ground. In the distance, more rolling, forested hills are visible, with some buildings dotting the landscape. A bird is flying in the sky above the water. The location appears to be a coastal area in Santana, Portugal.
