What’s the highest point in Spain? It’s Mount Teide, the volcanic mountain towering Tenerife. It is visible from most of the other Canary Islands as well with a summit of 3,718 metres. The mountain is an active volcano that last erupted in 1909. The surrounding planes, desolate rock landscape and weird formations make up the Teide […]

Las Galletas, Tenerife
Imagine a row of volcanic islands that offer a dry desert-like landscape as well as forests, beautiful beaches and mountains with loads of caves, great surfing conditions, tropical fruit and really comfortable weather. You might have heard of Tenerife, and if not, you’ve probably heard of the Canary Islands and have a general idea ofwhere […]

Muizenberg & the 20mm Vivitar
The 20mm Vivitar was one of the lenses that I inherited from my grandfather and has fungus growing inside it. Part of the lens can’t be opened up, but the part that can be has been cleaned. Anyway, it’s all manual focus and exposure and the fungus remaining still gives the photos an experimental feeling with distortion at […]
