An upward-angled photograph depicts the Cristo Rei statue at the Ponta do Garajau viewpoint in Caniço, Madeira, Portugal. The central subject is a large, light-grey stone statue of Christ with outstretched arms, positioned on a multi-tiered, square, light-colored stone pedestal. The statue is viewed against a clear, bright blue sky. The sun, located in the upper-left quadrant, emits a strong lens flare, casting portions of the scene into backlight and silhouette. In the lower foreground, a dark metal railing with multiple horizontal bars runs horizontally across the image, surmounting a dark, textured concrete retaining wall. Several small, dark, padlock-like objects are affixed to the railing bars. To the right of the statue, a tall, grey metal light pole with a black, rectangular light fixture at its apex extends vertically into the sky. The lower section of this pole is covered with numerous small stickers. A second, thinner metal pole, possibly another light fixture, appears in silhouette against the sun on the far left of the frame. No individuals, animals, or dynamic actions are present in the static scene.
