Tenerife - Pico del Teide
View of the Pico del Teide, the highest mountain not only on the Canaries, but of entire Spain.
Clouds coming from the west were rapidly moving across the mountain top, covering the summit entirely or partly in mist.
Tenerife - No Way Up
Finally in the Cañadas, the Teide seen from Los Roques.
Somehow, we weren’t lucky with this year’s two visits to Tenerife. In spring, during a very cold period the Teleferico was closed due to nasty ice and snow conditions up near the top. Now in autumn, it was closed for repair just during the few days we were there. Well, happens. We could’ve walked the way up of course … ;-)
Tenerife - Back into the Mountains
View of the Pico del Teide on the way up into the Cañadas National Park.
The very same view as already shown here in the photolog from spring. But what a difference! ;-)
Tenerife - La Laguna Contrasts
Beside the massive construction works going on all over Tenerife, there is always a derelict building in-between.
Like this one on Calle Nava y Grimón, sandwiched between two nicely spruced neighboring buildings.
Tenerife - La Laguna Facade
Seen near Palacio Episcopal while walking along Calle de San Augustin.
Not one of the major historic buildings listed in the travel guides, but somehow this facade caught my eye.
Zoo Cologne - Halloween
It’s that time of the year again. The sucessful import of Halloween made it into the Cologne zoo, nicely decorated.
And of course, this is the much needed canonical Halloween shot as a proxy for more images to be found on the fotocommunity site, like this linked image and the following ones (click the left arrow). Actually I was quite suprised, that the session yesterday with high iso and slow shutter speed yielded quite a number of halfway decent images.
