Around Teide

Teide rising above pine forest, volcanic ground, and a sea of cloud.

Teide rarely appears alone. The route around the volcano frames its summit with Canary Island pines, places dry slopes against a sea of cloud, and looks outward across the caldera before returning to the mountain’s dark, symmetrical mass. These photographs use distance and foreground to show how the peak governs the wider landscape, even when it occupies only a small part of the frame.
