This is an early afternoon in the town square in Haria, in the north of the island. The area is one of the few in Lanzarote where the availability of water means that there is an abundance of trees and plants.
Looking out from Haria toward slopes terraced for farming. Some of them are still cultivated, and where they are you can see the plants growing green against the black volcanic pebbles used to shelter the soil from sun and wind and conserve moisture.
The view out to sea from the Modern Art Museum in the Castillo de San Jose, one of the spots we loved in Arrecife.
Evening falls over the Charco de San Gines, the tidal sea water lagoon in the city of Arrecife where many of the smaller fishing boats and other local boats have their moorings. The church of San Gines is in the background.
Art and daily life mix in the city of Arrecife, and some times the effects are odd...
While we were in Arrecife the East wind blew in clouds of sand from the Sahara. It filled the air with a reddish brown haze, hiding the nearby hills and creating a spectacularly different sunset.
