In contrast to the black volcanic soil of the island, most buildings in Lanzarote Island are white, with sparse blue or green trim. White reflects the sun’s rays and keeps the interior cooler.

Of course, I have to throw a bird in there somewhere! I love his mohawk.
Would love to know the origin of the “sandstone-like” rock formations. Cool looking among the lava.
And the Hoopoe! Isn’t that a grand and glorious bird!
Another wonderful set of photos. I had not thought about the volcanic origins of the Canaries, but I love the black lava rock and beaches. Also the Hoopoe, of course.
