EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Traditional Mode of Transport in Madeira: The Rede and the Hammock" 2. Description: This image captures a moment in the rich history and culture of Madeira, Portugal, as a local resident skillfully navigates the steep and winding streets of Monte using the traditional transportation method known as a "rede" or "cesto" (basket) and a hammock. Dating back to the late 19th century, this unique transportation system has become a symbol of Madeira's heritage and is still in use today. 3. Context: The photo was taken in the picturesque town of Funchal, Madeira, in 2013. The vibrant colors of the buildings, lush greenery, and the azure sky serve as a stunning backdrop to this traditional scene. The resident, dressed in local attire, expertly maneuvers the hammock, which is attached to the rede, as he makes his way up the steep hillside. The rede is a large wicker basket that is suspended from two ropes, which are anchored to the ground and pulled taut by the transporteur (person operating the rede) using a system of pulleys and counterweights. 4. History: The rede was originally developed to facilitate the transportation of goods, particularly sugarcane, from the mountainous regions of Madeira to the port in Funchal. Over time, it became a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of the island's unique history and culture. Today, it is still used by locals and tourists alike as a novel and exciting way to explore the stunning landscapes of Madeira. 5. Conclusion: This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural traditions of Madeira, Portugal. The image of a local resident transporting a hammock using the rede is not only a testament to the island's unique transportation history but also a reminder of the ingenuity and resourcefulness of its people. This scene is a must-see for anyone visiting Madeira and is a true representation of the island's vibrant heritage.
