2 from Tenerife

I took these in tenerife this week. I love them both for different reasons.

And the second one

Both nice shots Chrissy!  There is only one of the seven Canary Islands I haven't been to and that's El Hierro, my favourite island is La Palma... been there six times. Great islands to visit in the winter... usually warm and only just over 4 hours flying time.

the second one is just amazing!

Number two for me too....

[CanonChrissy]

We visit Tenerife 3 or 4 times a year. The flying time varies between 4 and 4:30 depending on tail winds. And the warmth all year round really does it for me. I have been to Tenerife, Fuertaventura, Lanzarote and Gran Canaria. The smaller islands haven't yet tempted me. There were underground volcanic rumblings off El Hierro about 3 years ago when we were on Tenerife. We were ready to scarper!

There has been talk for years about a possible mega tsunami when a huge chunk of La Palma slips into the sea, in 1949 an eruption caused a 2.5 km long rift to open, with a width of about 1 m (3 ft 3 in) and a depth of about 2 m. I've walked on part of the rift and I'm still here...

The1st shot doesn't have the sharpness as it was taken literally out of the window of a moving car. There was nowhere to stop so it was shoot and hope for the best. The second one was taken properly, from the roadside.

Both stunning shots Chrissy. Great clarity in the exposures. Lovely colours and the second is particularly crisp. Compositions also hit the mark for me. 2 lovely images but number 2 is the winner!
