One of the most beautiful places I have visited in Lanzarote is Cueva de Los Verdes.
I was without tripod so I have tried to do of my best with the D700, but the feeling with the camera wasn't perfect and the fault is mine. Inside the tube was absolutely dark and it was difficult to see the people downthere , in fact I believed there was anyone.
The camera worke with Iso auto (It's a shame I know) and the shot is 3200 iso.
Cueva de los Verdes is a lava tube located in the island of Lanzarote. The cave is a protected area of the Canary Islands. The cave was created around 3,000 years ago from a volcanic eruption in La Corona. An enormous lava stream flowed over the Malpaís de la Corona. For a long time, the lava stream flowed which left the top part to become a cave.
In about 20 spots, the cover of the cave collapsed and formed. Cueva de los Verdes is formed from parts of the volcanic soils and extends from 1 km to 6 kilometres of old lava streams. The streams are the second longest in the world.
The cave walls are colorful. Parts of the cave are deep. Parts of the caves are covered with sea water.
The cave is famous for its concert hall which can hold up to about 500 people.

Playa Quemada
Inserito originariamente da anbri22

Located a few kilometres off the main road from Arrecife to Playa Blanca, it seems to have escaped the touristic developments of its coastal cousins mainly because it is so close to the luxury Puerto Calero Marina and the bustling resort of Puerto del Carmen.

The fact that it has remained undeveloped is somewhat strange in many other respects, as it has a very sheltered bay, protected from the prevailing winds and currents by the Punta Gorda.

The main thing that probably prevented the village developing along the lines of the major resort Puerto del Carmen, is the lack of a sandy beach.

In fact it is this black, rather rocky beach that gives Playa Quemada its Spanish name of The Burnt Beach.

Green!

Just come out from the airport an incredibly hot invest me. There are 50 degrees and a warm wind coming from the Sahara. The night I can not sleep. I go out on the patio, the wind is warm, whimsical and whip the palms in the distance. A wave of strikes me smells amazing ... distinguish the aroma of thyme and rosemary from the garden which evaporates in the heat. It 'a surreal situation out here is almost impossible to feel the wind comes in gusts, continuous, persistent and around me instead of cooling an incredibly warm and dry ... Yet something keeps me here ... wrapped in this almost mystical atmosphere. They are four in the morning there are still 50 degrees humidity zero.
I found where an accommodation should not have time for lunch and dinner and just arrived on site I rented a bike for a more direct contact with places. Many of these trips I have photos but vivid and exciting memories that I carry inside.
Pedal to Arrecife just before sunset, the road runs between the airport and 0ceano. The wind carries the sand on the road and slow down at certain points to avoid falling. Black rocks, sand and white silhouettes of distant volcanoes in the golden light of evening. At my side a jet takes off for a run, speeding up my rides on an impossible challenge that makes me smile: he passes me, leaves the floor and rises in the sky but I am down here in this desolate and barren landscape .. . yet I feel ... already passion!
