An endless ocean meets the rugged coastline - this panoramic shot of the Atlantic coast off Garachico on Tenerife captures an image full of poetry and natural drama. In the centre of the view, the "Roque de Garachico" rests like a guardian, a small rocky island off the coast whose dark rocks bear witness to an ancient volcanic past. The deep blue water washes around it tirelessly, as if the Atlantic wanted to whisper its stories - of explorers, storms and calm days.
The waves break foaming against the jagged lava coast, while the town of Garachico nestles against the mountainside on the right, its white and pastel-coloured houses glowing in the sunlight. In the winding alleyways and on the small square at the harbour, you can still sense the spirit of past centuries, when Garachico was one of Tenerife's most important ports - until the Trevejo volcano changed the fate of the town forever in 1706.
The panorama invites you to linger, to dream, to listen to the interplay between man and nature. It is a moment full of sublimity, captured in light, colour and depth - a declaration of love to the smoky blue of the Atlantic and the quiet dignity of Garachico.
