COLOUR OF THE WEEK CONTEST | BLACK WEEK | Lanzarote | ESP / ENG
Hello to all campers, friends of photography and the arts.
I am entering this contest with a small report on the Black Island, which is none other than Lanzarote, the closest island of the Canary archipelago to the African continent. Lanzarote, like the rest of the Canary Islands, is an island of volcanic origin and, with the exception of the last eruption on La Palma, the most recent and intense one took place on Lanzarote in the 19th century, which is why the colour black still predominates in its landscape, Especially in the south, where the eruptions took place, which made this part of the island a dark and rugged landscape, which was gradually tamed again with great patience and hard work by the hand of man, producing from this volcanic soil basic survival products and later an excellent white wine.
Due to the strong winds that blow over the island, each vineyard, each fig tree is surrounded by a small stone wall to protect them from the constant wind.
Here are some examples of what the island looks like from a landscape point of view.

Hola a todos los campistas amigos de la fotografía y de las artes.
Me presento a este concurso con un pequeño reportaje sobre la Isla Negra, que no es otra que Lanzarote, la isla más cercana al continente africano del archipiélago canario. Lanzarote, como el resto de Las Canarias, es una isla de origen volcánico y si exceptuamos la última erupción de La Palma, la más reciente e intensa tuvo lugar en Lanzarote en el siglo XIX, por lo que todavía predomina en su paisaje el color negro, sobre todo en el sur que fue donde se produjeron esas erupciones que conformaron esa parte de la isla un paisaje oscuro y agreste, que poco a poco fue vuelto a ·domesticar con mucha paciencia y trabajo por la mano del hombre, sacando de esa tierra volcánica productos básicos de supervivencia y después un excelente vino blanco.
Debido a los fuertes vientos que azotan la isla, cada viña, cada higuera está rodeada de un pequeño muro de piedra para preservarlas del viento constante.
Aquí os dejo unos ejemplos de lo que es actualmente la isla desde un punto de visto paisajístico.
In the north of the island, the landscape takes on lighter tones, but the hand of man has left its black mark in the form of the road.
En el norte de la isla el paisaje adquiere otras tonalidades más claras, pero la mano del hombre se empaña en dejar su huella de negro en forma de carretera.
Unless stated otherwise, all the pictures and the words are mine.
