Tenerife, the Island of Eternal Spring
The cliffs in Tenerife, a mixture of red, orange and black. And when you least expect it, there were granules everywhere, and young greens that spout out of the moon landscape right before the 3rd highest volcanic mountain in the world, El Teide. The island is rich in different landscape zones, making the fingers itch as it kept clicking on the camera. But that’s how vacations are made of, it’s a wonderful moment while you’re on discovery mode.
Impressions of the island and the joy of sighting little creatures that lives on this island, not called only tourists.
