This is one of those brilliant street photography moments that you absolutely cannot plan or manufacture. I’m minding my own business photographing a mural in Castillo Caleta de Fuste in Fuerteventura when suddenly I hear this voice behind me ask, “Why aren’t you taking MY photo?” I turn around and there are these two absolutely…

The mounted fin whale skeleton is clearly visible in a photo of the museo de la sal (salt museum) in Fuerteventura. The museum was closed at this early hour and the area was roped off with stern warnings to buy tickets at the museum, but we still managed to get a few photos. The salt…

Sunrise at this time of year is rather easy as it’s at a reasonable time. Not too early, and not too late either. When the sky turns golden I pick up my camera!

I was watching the sun set in Tenerife when a family approached and walked by. They were silhouetted by the sun, but instead of the usual black shadows, I wanted to try something different. No doubt the purists will be scoffing at the bright vignettes. Well, thanks. 🙂

A hotel on the coast of Tenerife on Playa de Ajabo looks out on the Atlantic as waves batter the rocks underneath. They’re turned into mist by a long exposure photo in this evening shot, about 20 minutes after the sun has set.

I spotted this stunning Siamese Cat in the town of Garachico in Tenerife recently. He was wandering across the street near the Plaza Juan González de la Torre. Despite my calling him, he just walked on up the street, ignoring me, but he did give one look back as he walked past some rubbish bins,…

I found myself perched high above Los Gigantes, where the massive volcanic cliffs plunge dramatically into the Atlantic Ocean. The name, which literally means “The Giants,” couldn’t be more appropriate. We stopped at a roadside vantage point along with several other tourists who were busy snapping selfies and enjoying the sunny afternoon. The cliffs in…

Some of the thatched beach umbrellas on Playa de Ajabo in Tenerife, just after the sun has set. There’s a restaurant behind where I was taking the photo, with bright neon lights shining on the beach, that was annoying to remove.

A woman walks up a hill in Lanzarote, 2006. The sun is beating down, but she’ll be walking into the small shade afforded by the wall of a house.

Something caught her eye as she walked along. I don’t know what. I took this photo in 2006, but only noticed it a few days ago. Arrecife, Lanzarote. 2006.

A young woman paying for her ice-cream in Tenerife. I had some too, it was delicious!
