Description

Part of my photo series I did during my holidays on La Gomera in June/July 2018.

I want to share a bit of the wondrous landscape that this unique island has with you. Through the extreme isolation many of the plants and animals on La Gomera are endemic and can thus be not found anywhere else on this world like that.

Enjoy!

Concerning the photography:

1) done with a simple, crappy 10 year old smartphone a friend of mine lend me.

2) just added signature and uploaded it. no postediting, cropping, rotation nor whatsoever done on it. I shot it the way I wanted it to be. or at least I gave my best to do so, as through the extreme brightness of the sun down there the display of the smartphone was an the verge to pitchblack. so taking the pictures was a mixture of "hoping and guessing" that the lense catches what I intend it to catch. just back in the hotel at night I was able to see and check at all how the pictures have become.

3) all pictures lack the "veil of desert/dust/heat/southern sun brightness" that was there in reality (and something which the cam "fancyfied away" with its automatic postediting). the bright passages on the pictures would need some "pale glowing" effect, as the amount of sun was so extreme down there in the south, that it burnt in the eye when you tried to look at them without sun glasses longer than 5-10 seconds.
