Twin peaks and a giant's organ

Tenerife's Teide mountain, at more than 12.000 feet Spain's highest peak, seen in the background left with a rock of similar shape at La Gomera's most north-western point near the famous landmark cliffs of Los Organos. These spectacular basalt formations (below) can only be seen from the sea and a trip to Los Organos from Valle Gran on an excursion boat is highly recommended, but the seas can be rough in this windswept remote corner of La Gomera.

Partial view of Los Organos. The whole cliff, resembling a giant's church organ, is about 600ft wide and rises to 250ft tall, with enormous prismatic columns of basalt that drop down the cliff face into the sea and continue under water, all visible only from a boat in the clear Atlantic around La Gomera.

The lighthouse of La Gomera

...and there was snow

When I left La Gomera two weeks ago there was snow on Mount Teide on Tenerife which is Spain's highest mountain (above image taken from the ferry), and when I was back  in Ireland there was dusting of snow on the mountains here, too.

Now it is getting warmer and spring is in the air...

A beautiful dawn
