I am going to Tenerife

One month ago I came from the Canary Islands (La Palma and Gran Canaria). Now I am going there again. But this time my destination is Tenerife.

I have been in Tenerife once (in 2009). It was a memorable trip. I know several nice outcrops there but this time I hope to see and understand much more. I just took a review of my photos I took there. I am really amazed how poor is the quality of these snapshots. There is really nothing I would like to use here now. Tenerife is a beautiful and magnificent island (second largest island volcano in the world after Hawaii). It deserves better equipment than my point-and-shoot I used then and better photographer also. I have a better camera and lens now but I am not sure about the photographer. It is still only me.

This time my trip will be quite civilized. I will stay at a hotel. Who knows, maybe I will even have internet access there. I am not very optimistic though. People there have somewhat different lifestyle. It seems that internet is not a necessity for them. Sometimes they advertise that their hotel has internet access but in reality this means that there is a computer in the lobby into which you can insert a coin to access internet for 5 minutes. It would be laughable if it were not so sad.

If there is internet access, then I will try to post something once in a while.

I took this photo a month ago when I was flying from La Palma to Gran Canaria (Tenerife is right between these islands). Quality of the photo is terrible because it was taken with a phone but phonolitic cone of Mount Teide, the highest peak of Tenerife (3718 meters) and the rim of the caldera surrounding it are clearly recognizable.
