Portugal Ponta de Rosto
This is the place where the Atlantic meets Madeira, it is constantly changing with one constant...Wind. Especially during sunrise in the winter months, the light comes in very nicely from the side.
Photography Tips
First off be careful it is incredibly windy and you could easily go over the edge looking for that perfect shot. On a bright day, it can be very contrasty so filters would help. However, a decent travel camera handheld with a small amount of post-processing will get a good image. Use a Tripod. Get there early and check the sunrise trajectory. Some angles and positions make the picture look different.
