Fuerteventura

Beaches, sand between your toes, extinct volcanoes, arid landscape, surfers' community, pure. Reminiscences of a few weeks in winter.

El Cotillo

Lovely tiny harbour. Owing to a lovely Spanish couple (send me a mail if you want your picture), the port master let me in and I could do some shooting.

Happy New Year

This is a light ornament in the shape of an igloo for Xmas on the village square, I used a zoom burst and turned the camera at the same time. So thankfully no firecrackers and bazooka bangs, all very silent 😉.

Surfin'

In the strait between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura it's a joy to see so many experienced surfers at work conquering the big waves.

Blue

Yes, from time to time I try to make sharp pictures too. This one as the colour struck me at once. No, the window of this century old house is not completely straight. Nothing is.

Using heavy backlighting, I tried to get an abstracted view of the ocean nearby. I think there is a croc in the top one. Exposure 0,5 sec at F/45 @ 300 mm.

Felices fiestas

For Xmas and New Year the main square of this quaint fishing village has a light sculpture that I played around with, and turned it into a Euro sign. Hoping that restaurants such as Rámon will be supported by the government in these hard times, because they deserve it.
