On the first cold morning last year, I left home together with my wife. She was heading to work but I had a different goal. Just behind our city, I left the road. I found a good place to take a picture of the sunrise. In the background the Itter valley. It was a wonderful moment, sitting there, waiting for the sun, but it was damn cold as well.
After a long evening and a short night, I was up early in the morning, while my wife was still sleeping. I went down to the beach. I found a place with some black stones and small tide pools. The weather was not perfect, but the morning has come and I could make some awesome pictures. This place was directly below our hotel room, so we could hear the sound of the sea the whole night. It is wonderful if you like to sleep, but not for staying up early to make some pictures.
From the Playa de Famera we were going to the east side of the island. We were driving through a landscape like a dessert. In the background Mountains and Vulcanos. And the road was just straight. If you are from other parts in the world, where roads are always twisting, this is really amazing, to have a road until the horizon. We did a stop to take this picture and as there were very few cars on the road it was quite easy. But always remember. Take this kind of pictures always with a partner, who is looking at the traffic, as you are concentrated on taking pictures.
