🏝 Fuerteventura - A Photo Diary 📸 Day 2

One of the great advantages of running is that you can do it practically anywhere. No matter the terrain, no matter the weather, you just need a pair of running shoes and you're ready to go. And for me, running is also the ideal activity to explore a new area, especially on vacation. Two or three runs and I already know where the beach is beautiful, where there is a good view, but also where the next gas station or supermarket can be found. And so I set off on day 2 of my stay on Fuerteventura for a run, with the goal of approaching the local mountains of Corralejo.

So let's have a look at the Volcanos de Bayuyo!

Every mountain a volcano by itself. Not surprisingly, since the entire island rose from volcanic activity in the first place.

Y la luna diminuta sobre la loma pelada... Una escena muy hermosa.

It is indeed. A bit humid and sometimes windy but I personally like it if no run is like the other. Water is something to keep in mind if going for longer runs in this area.

I flew into Iceland years ago. The landscape looked like this--I thought it looked like the surface of the moon. You captured the moon in two of your photos!

Some people might see desolation--I see quiet :) Must have been really peaceful.

To me parts of the landscape is how I would imagine it to be on Mars. Just more redtones and no atmosphere (at least not the one that gives us the blue sky on earth).

This is what jogging on Mars may look like and feel like :D Very unique landscape. And I agree, jogging is a great way to explore new places, I did that often when traveling. Sometimes, you don´t actually even need the shoes, I loved to jog barefoot on the white, powdery fine Caribbean beaches for example...

Auf manchen deiner Aufnahmen erscheint mir die Landschaft geradezu unwirklich. So als befände ich mich auf einem anderen Planeten.
Gleichzeitig (und so komme ich auf den von dir angesprochenen Drang zur Bewegung) steigen vor meinen Augen die Bilder vom jetzt ausgebrochenen Eyjafjallajökull auf Island auf. Die dort ausströmende Lava, wie sie ihre Bahnen über die Landschaft zieht.
Der erste Gedanken: die beste Gelegenheit für einen Lauf auf glühender Kohle. 😉
Aber genau so oder fast identisch muss es auch mal auf Fuerteventura ausgesehen haben?😮

Man wähnt sich dort tatsächlich mitunter auf einem fernen Planeten. Auch mir kommt dort oft in den Sinn, welche glühenden Spektakel sich auf dieser Insel abgespielt haben müssen and all diese ohne menschliche Beobachter.

I was born in the canary islands and all islands are different. La Palma is a lush green paradise
