By now it is no mystery that the Teidethe highest mountain in Spain that emerges majestically in Tenerifecan be seen from Lanzarote. Of course, you have to be patient to elucidate its silhouette on the horizon.
It is not the first time that he Lanzarote astrophotographer Gustavo Medina manages to capture the image of Teide from the south of Lanzarote. But the photograph he took at sunset on March 6 from Los Ajaches (municipality of Yaiza) was not one more of that great volcano nor of the precious snapshots that he has been taking for years with his objective.
What happened for Gustavo to take his most emotional photo of Teide?
Whoever follows it gets it, the photographer from Lanzarote must have thought once again. He himself recounts that “behind this photograph there is not only prior planning and many attempts due to the enormous difficulty to be able to observe Teide from Lanzarote”.
Explain what “there is also a great feeling of pride” because he has been in the same place in Los Ajaches with his grandfather, who was the one who taught him from where you can see it.
Years later he was able to contemplate it with his father several times. Gustavo has been able to “show Teide from Lanzarote from different places and perspectives”, like other photographers in recent years.
But without a doubt, His “greatest pride” has been to be able to “show the imposing silhouette of Teide from Lanzarote” with his two daughters. The snapshot is loaded with sentiment and symbolism because he has passed on to his daughters what previous generations of his family passed on to him: “That Teide can be seen at times from some areas of Lanzarote despite its distance.”
A proud father and photographer whose work leaves no one indifferent. Among them highlight your timelapses.
