Couple of odd balls

Two from Madeira that don't fit in with other pictures.
First a man with a falcon. Hired by the property to scare away pigeons. There were 2 different people on different days. Pigeons were on the lookout.
Second there is a statue of Sissi, empress of Austria. She had visited the island in 1898. Hardly anytime during the day when people weren't being photographed with her.

What you have here is showing us some small slices of life. People working or admiring the view of an Empress.

Perfect.
