La Graciosa Island, Canary Islands (Spain)
La Graciosa Island, Canary Islands (Spain)
by Juan Carlos Ruiz San Millán

Vista de la Isla de la Graciosa desde Lanzarote, desde la zona de los Riscos de Famara. Esta foto está tomada en la zona del Mirador del Rio, la vista es impresionante, con las Salinas y la Playa del Rio al pie de los riscos y la isla al fondo y la Caleta del Sebo, la principal población de la misma en el centro. Las pequeñas elevaciones en la isla son, como no, antiguos volcanes, el resto de la isla es muy llano y se puede recorrer caminando o en bicicleta. Un lugar, sin duda, que merece la pena visitar. Por detrás de la isla aun se puede adivinar algun pequeño islote, concretamente Montaña Clara.

La imagen es una panorámica HDR hecha con 6 fotos (3+3). Procesada con Photomatix, Autopano y Lightroom.

Playa Blanca es una localidad del municipio de Yaiza situada en el extremo sur de la isla canaria de Lanzarote (España). Se trata de uno de los principales motores turísticos de Lanzarote y de Canarias, siendo el más moderno de la isla, así como el de más rápido crecimiento. Se encuentra frente a la isla de Fuerteventura, en el llamado estrecho de la bocaina, y posee un puerto con conexiones en ferry a esta isla.

Painted Morning
Playa de Benijo
by Jiri Hajek

Benijo is a pretty remote beach, but definitely worth the trip. The sea stacks and beach boulders offer plentiful opportunities for compositions.

Photo Tips: Any time of day can be interesting here. I'd prefer sunrise, but sunsets can be equally good. Watch out for waves!

Getting there: It's about an hour of mountain driving from Santa Cruz de Tenerife, so start early. Be careful while driving, since there's a lot steep curves, but the road is in a good condition, so nothing dangerous in case you are careful. There's parking right above the beach, but only for some tens of cars, which is more than enough for mornings, but might be harder to park in the evening.

Lighted Lighthouse
Faro de Teno
by Jiri Hajek

I'd prefer sunset here, but since the access to this location is limited, sunrise was easier to arrange. Fortunately, it's beautiful here any time of day and as a bonus, I had the lighthouse all for myself for an hour or so. Beautiful morning!

On the plateau of el Teide, the 3718 m high volcano on Tenerife a bizarre rock formation has the merit of this title. Actually the volcano rises 7500m from its base on the ocean floor.

Very early morning everything was dark, except for the white illuminated village of Almáciga. This viewpoint doesn't disappoint in any time of day or weather!

Se halla dentro del Parque Nacional del Teide (Patrimonio de la Humanidad) en el municipio de La Orotava, junto al volcán del mismo nombre, en pleno corazón de la isla.

Watching sunset from the rim below El Teide.

The easiest to get here is to park your car down at TF-21 and walk a few kilometers up here.

I didn't plan to stay here until the night, but the weather was nice and the location so beautiful that I waited somewhat longer to get a night exposure as well.
