The Flickr Canarypine Image Generatr

Canary pine forest on the island of La Palma:
in the west-facing pine forests of the "Parque National de Cumbre Vieja" above the San Juan volcano, extensive areas of yellow clover blossomed. The scent was beguiling and accompanied our walk throughout the day.

Kanarischer Kiefernwald auf der Insel La Palma:
in den nach Westen ausgerichteten Kiefernwäldern des "Parque National de Cumbre Vieja" oberhalb des Vulkan San Juan blühten ausgedehnte Flächen mit gelbem Klee. Der Duft war betörend und begleitete unsere Wanderung über den ganzen Tag.

Black scars of devastating forest fires in 2007 can be seen everywhere along the S50/S51 hike with dark bark of the Canary Island pine IPinus canariensis) that still stains when touched. However, fire triggers growth of bluish-green glaucous epicormic shoots in the lower trunk, a characteristic feature of this pine as seen in this image.

El gran volcán

Three famous, easily recognisable rocks of Gran Canaria, Roque Nublo (Clouded Rock), Roque la Rana (the Frog) and Roque del Fraile (the Friar), can be seen from various points separately, most commonly views of the Rock Nublo together with the Frog as the two monoliths are next to each other on the plateau. The image is taken from circular S50/S51 hike when I was able to see all three rocks clearly together. You do need a telephoto lens to frame it. This is one of many spectacular views along the hike S50/S51 from Llanos De La Pez to Pico de las Nieves, the second highest point on the island (1949 m). Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain

Gran Canaria endemic species of Wallflower (Erysimum albescens) makes adds a splash of bright colours against a spectacular rocky landscape covered with misty clouds. They are grown higher up in the mountains and distinct from more widely spread the Teide wallflower (Erysimum scoparium). These species of plants are also known as a Summit Wallflower (Alhelí de cumbre) or as Chameleon Wallflowersummit wallflower (Alhelí camaleón).

Taken from the foot of Pico De las Nieves, the second highest point on the Island (1949 m), with spectacular panoramic views from the top. A circular S50/S51 hike from Llanos De La Pez to Pico de las Nieves. Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain

These very unusual white volcanic rocks were formed over the last 3 million years and are due to accumulation of pumice stone and whitish ash (formed by burning volcanic clouds). Lunar Landscape (Los Escurriales) hike, Vilaflor, Tenerife, Canary Islands

There are two rock formations, another is on the left behind, covered by trees and not well seen from this point.
