A new tropical island in the Canary Islands...

...close to the south-western coast of La Gomera was discovered and pointed out to me by a friend yesterday. Several people immediately were taking photos of it and I rushed to get my camera. Strangely, the lush green island could only be seen from a certain angle and by looking away from the coast. However, it wasn't the rarely-seen mythical island of San Borondon (St. Brendan) as that looks completely different and is much larger. More about that in another post soon.
Well, it wasn't a mirage either, but an optical illusion created by reflections in several panes of glass in an open folding door of a local hostelry and if you look closely you can make out a tv aerial on the left (below).
