Beaches, sand between your toes, extinct volcanoes, arid landscape, surfers' community, pure. Reminiscences of a few weeks in winter.
The very same palm I made a Pep Ventosa of, a bit further down this page, this time with a turning movement. Exposure 0.3 sec, F/5.6 @ 300 mm.

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 😉.

Celebrated my birthday in a quaint village that used to be the former capital to Fuerteventura, having the Iglesia Catedral de Santa Maria de Betancuria as its centre. Exposure of the ICM: 1/6 sec at F22 @ 35 mm.

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

Immensely large, just dunes and sand, tough job to hike with a backpack full of equipment, but ... beautiful. Shutter speed 1.5 sec, F/38, 207 mm, ISO200, waiving movement.

You wouldn't expect stumbling on such modern architecture on an island that has so many derelict building projects. This afternoon I came across this photogenic building. Exposure 0.3 sec at F/45 @ 300 mm.

At the end of the afternoon, there was some interesting light developing. Just checking if this seascape will be a keeper. Exposure 1,5 sec, F/27 at 70 mm for the ICM one, 1/125 at F/16 for the straight one.

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.

'Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee'. It does look like a butterfly, this Strelitzia, but it doesn't fly. Intriguing flower. Exposure 1/6 sec at F4.5 @ 140 mm.

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.

The village of La Lajita has a pebble beach. Difficult to walk on, impossible to sit down on. But the rocks and pebbles and the rolling waves make a great show. Exposure 1 sec at F/13 @105 mm.

One never ending row of surfers going to Playa del Viejo Rey at the end of the day.

Came across this black beauty called Tao and its very kind owners, tried to capture the dynamics of the dog running into the ocean. Exposure 1/15 sec at F/38 @ 128 mm.

I don't like zoos and I don't like animals in cages, but this one is different. It takes a day if you want to see everything. Stichting AAP has lodged neglected animals here. The savannah with kudu, springbok and zebra is my favourite.

This small town at the east coast of Fuerteventura is investing in culture. This is the facade of the newly built Culture Centre.

This was the feeling I got when I'd made this shot of the boulevard. Made the camera move three times within the 0.7 sec I used as an exposure. F/19 @ 229 mm.

As if glued to the closest waves, these pulvars were racing to and fro and picking up the tiniest edible things. Exposure of most of them 1/20 sec at F/8 @ 300 mm, 1/10 sec at F/19 @ 300 mm.

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.

First thing I saw having got out of bed.

Walked across a bridge over a dried up river and saw some really huge bougainvillaes hanging over a fence. The lens I had with me was a bit too short, so I had to make a swift movement upwards and crop this in PS to get rid of the uninteresting parts. Who cares. Exposure 1/30 at F/22 @ 105 mm.

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.
