Tajinaste and sunset on Teide

23 May, 2021 13:05

Well hello there!! How're you? Long time no see...

These past two months were a rollercoaster (as for most of you I'm sure, too!). I'm already preparing a quick summary for the next post, and meantime please check out these new pictures from our short sunset hiking on Teide a few days ago :) 

  • El portillo, teide
    We started from El Portillo botanical gardens

  • botanical gardens, teide, portillo, hiking
    After leaving the botanical gardens it didn't mean at all that we're leaving 'the gardens' - only slightest change in landscape to more wild one, but the flora part was still nice...

  • hills have eyes, teide
    'The hills have eyes'
  • hills have eyes, teide
  • tajinaste, teide, el portillo, spring, sunset

After the heart warming moment of 'the hills have eyes' we sort of bumped into a whole field of tajinaste, - but none of them were blossoming! What a shame... would be amazing to see so many of them wearing their spring dresses.. Good news though for those of you who decide to go to the same place now - you might get reaally lucky !!

  • harsh light, soft shadow, teide, sunset
    Just to show you guys how soft the light becomes when sun is setting slowly behind the mountains around Teide.. super harsh on our shadows and soft transition in the lower left part

    When nature finds the way <3

    ..and when Edu finds the way :) But see the light difference!? between the top and lower part there must be ca.5-7 Calcius degrees difference
  • creepy, strange, beautiful, teide
  • creepy, strange, beautiful, teide, spring, life, death

These two images above don't have color editing at all, only contrast correction since the light was a bit too harsh, but these are the real natural colors.. Creepy but aren't they beautiful in their own, strange & creepy way?! :)

  • desert, life, death, teide
    Amazing how much life (and death) is up there in that desert

    And finally!! we see some sexy tajinaste in blossom)))

    They grow like this right on the road for those who're lazy to do a 6ish km hiking ;)

    Slow exposure + slightly windy

    And the last moments before that orange-pinky ray of light completely disappears..
