Canaries Canary Geology Lagoon Lakes Lanzarote Palmas Rocks Golfo
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking beauty of El Golfo, a picturesque fishing village and natural wonder located on the southwest coast of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. Circa 1906, the image transports us back in time to an era of simple living and close connection to the land and sea. The scene unfolds before us as a serene, turquoise lagoon nestled between dramatic volcanic rocks, its still waters reflecting the clear blue sky above. The green-hued lake, created by the collapse of a volcanic crater, is a unique geological formation that has long drawn visitors to its shores. In the foreground, a group of locals can be seen gathered around a small boat, perhaps preparing to set sail or mending their nets. Their vibrant attire stands out against the rugged, volcanic landscape, offering a striking contrast between the natural world and the people who call it home. The Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago located in the Atlantic Ocean, have long been renowned for their natural beauty and unique geology. El Golfo, with its stunning lagoon and dramatic volcanic formations, is a testament to the unique and diverse landscapes that can be found on this fascinating island. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring allure of the natural world. It invites us to reflect on the simple pleasures of life and the power of nature to inspire and captivate us, no matter the passage of time.
