In the quiet hours of the morning, when the fog is still gently drifting over the black lava sea and the sun is tentatively sending its first rays over the Caldera Colorada, one of Lanzarote's most amazing plant worlds comes to life: The bright green Canary Island dock (Rumex lunaria), a symbol of the miracle of adaptation and resilience.
Like a small oasis of hope, this plant defies the barren, volcanic landscape. Its lush green colour and golden yellow inflorescences shine like a promise of renewal against the gloomy backdrop of cooled lava. In the centre of the picture, it sits enthroned in quiet dignity, framed by the black basalt sand that was once hurled from the depths of the earth.
Behind it, the majestic Caldera Colorada rises in a reddish glow, partly shrouded in mist, as if the earth itself were still dreaming. The large lava bomb, silent and heavy, is a reminder of the immense power of the volcanic birth of this landscape - a natural monument between becoming and passing away.
This panorama is not just a picture, it is a poem of stone, light and life - a silent dialogue between past and present, between fire and flora, captured on the island that was born from the ashes.
