Gran Canaria Landscapes

When I visited the Canary Islands for the first time last year, I devoted a great deal of effort to capturing my underwater experience on camera (see previous entries). 

 I didn't devote nearly as much time to truly appreciating the beautiful landscapes above sea level. 

 Judging by the few images I did capture on an inland tour, It's worth the effort to escape the tourists and beaches and nightlife to see the spartan beauty of this arid island.
