During my trip to the Canary Island of Lanzarote, I was amazed by the beautiful views of the vast volcanic landscape.
One of the main attractions is the Timanfaya National Park, an area of 51.07 square kilometers made up entirely of volcanic soil.
Created by a series of eruptions over a 6-year period from 1730 - 1736 and a smaller episode in 1824, the volcanic landscape has an almost otherworldly character. The beautiful shapes and colors are simply breathtaking. You would start to think you were touring on the planet mars.
You can only visit the national park via a guided bus tour or, if you arrive early, via a guided hike with a ranger. You need to book this in advance. Despite the fact that I could not get off the bus during the tour, I still managed to take some nice pictures.
Be sure to take a look at the "Canary Islands" album in my shop for more photos of these beautiful islands!

When I'm on the road I always have my camera with me because you never know what an opportunity will present itself and it would be a shame not to be able to capture that perfect moment. I like to look..
