  • Over time, a buried building emerges from the ash of the 1957 Capelhinos Volcano, Azores, revealing everything from it's structure to it's decor. An explosion of lush succulent plants now pours out of the smashed interior.

  • A thousand + miles from anywhere, these volcanic islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean can create orographic rainclouds at any time of year. However, this plus the warmer climate gives rise to lush vegetaion and spectacular greenery and plant life. Flores means Flowers!

  • A short burst of sunshine plays across a small hillside near the black-earthed landscape near Tinajo in central Lanzarote. Dark clouds hang over the cliffs of Famara and the clearly volcanic landscape forms the backdrop.

  • Driving through the Timanfaya National Park on Lanzarote, the signs of volcanic activity are abundant and striking. Here a whole mountain has blown apart leaving just jagged ridges above the numerous craters. It has an alien other-worldly feel in this place and it’s no wonder they tested lunar landing robots here.  The forces of nature here are so striking and it’s hard to imagine the sounds that must have been caused by such huge explosions.

We rarely see any bad weather on this arid island but on this evening, black clouds rolled overhead and the first spots of rain steamed off the hot car windscreen

  • These amazing white sand lagoons of Charca de la Laja, sit at the edge of a black lava field at Orzola on the North coast of Lanzarote. They are popular with familes for they are protected from the big surf beyond the reef and are as clear and warm as bathwater. In sunshine they look an irridescent turquoise.

I’ve always found the landscape here fascinating. This arid, windblown, dusty volcanic island is a shadow of its explosive past but the signs are all around. I love that you can see into vast craters, marvel at the lava fields and study the ash covered slopes. It still feels very raw, as if it only happened a few years ago and it makes me, and all life, seem such a stroke of universal luck.

  • The basin of this huge crater used to contain a lake but after huge eruptions in a nearby volcano in1957, fissures appeared and the water was able to seep away.

  • Janubio salt pan in South West Lanzarote is a tourist attraction but also produces a considerable amount of salt. The salt flats here produce more than 15,000 tons of salt a year, although that’s only a third of the quantity produced 40 years ago.The method of salt extraction was introduced in 1895 and has changed little since last century. Large wooden staves known as palancas de madera, are employed, with sea water passing through narrow channels into ponds where the water simply condenses.The residue then passes through wooden ducts into salt pans where the process is completed, leaving bright sparkling crystals of salt.

  • Huge volcanic crater landscapes below the summt of Teneriffe's highest mountain, Mount Teidi. Scant plant life exists at this height which appears more like an arid desert landscape. The air is thinner here and is quite noticeable near the summit.

  • At 12,198 feet (3718m) , the highest peak of Tenerife, and indeed Spain, is Mount Teidi (Pico del Teide) located in the Province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The skies can be clear above the clouds below. The moisture from the regular cloud cover means that the tree line reaches high up the mountain sides in form of woods and forest.

  • Subtle washes of sunlight permeate the winter gloom and illuminate isolated sections of this ancient Welsh landscape. Elidir Fawr becomes a snow-capped volcano and Y Garn sits solemnly in the shadows behind. A single crow flies across the void between me and the distant peaks, its call echoing sharply in the valley below.
