A few from Tenerife to get started

[Skywatcher]

... wading through about 700 pics, these are a few from the Villa pool and from our trip up Mount Teide

Driving to Mount Teide was the most gairyest thing I ever did, not helped by the TomTom lady :dozey: who put me on roads sl narrower than the car and at a gradient that was steeper than most cliffs, oh and a 500ft drop by the side of the hairpins as well

It was the highest I think I've been then we got in a cable car for the last bit and there was snow at the top :mental: lovely to drive up through the clouds though - would love to take a scope up would be awesome

[Isafari]

WOW! Totally amazing shots.....of course we want more. I can't even choose a favorite they're all so good.

[Skywatcher]

They are all taken with the 24-105 except the last one.

Can't wait for those :wiggle:

[lozzy]

Great shots,
Bring back some lovely memories from our trip a few years back, We are hoping to go back next year to take youngest son Ryan as he wasn't born when we went.
Can't wait to see more.

[Keith]

I know you tend never to believe me :lol: but seriously great shots. Technically spot on, excellent composition, really excellent.

[mumof2]

wow.....

[Shellyamc]

Amazing shots :yes: Really beautiful!

[josh.p.]

Your pics are great as ever Chris :yes: Those hill/mountainsides look like prime 'tortoise land' :yes: Not sure if they are at too high an altitude or not though :unsure: The dragon looks like a Galloti lizard (Southern Tenerife.) Don't quote me but if I remember rightly the males have blue markings and females are a dull colour, so the one you've seen looks female :yes: Generally the higher altitudes reptiles live at, the darker they get a darker skin colour so that they can keep their body temperatures higher :yes:

Love the one of Matthew Jumping into the pool with the huge splash :yes: Is it sad that I'm already excited for your kenya pictures and you haven't even left England yet? :unsure:

[foreverducky]

I agree, WOW!

Those pictures so crisp!

Of course we want more silly. :yes:

[Dawn]

More pictures please. :D

[Skywatcher]

OK will try and get on the computer later to upload some more - enjoyed the bird park and Loro parc was as good as Seaworld!

However , Thomas is being a bit 'possessive' of the iMac at the moment :lol:

I like the one of the cable car snow against the backdrop of a dessert!

Oh and BTW I am terrified of heights, I feel sorry for everyone else in that car that day it was essentially filled with my flop sweat and farts :lol:

[arkvilla]

Fantastic photo's ( as usual :yes:)

It looks beautiful ad Ihope you had sucha wonderful holiday.

Can't wait to see more photo's - I did spot that you are not in a single one - is that because you are always behind the camera not in front?

Sandra

[Skywatcher]

I'm sure Lisa will have some with me in, but I prefer not to burden people with that

[Britchick]

Sandra, we're still waiting for a photo of the 'water fox' from discovery cove last year!

[catrancher]

Fantastic photos Chris! :thumbsup:

It's delightful to see pictures like this from one of the many places I've never been to nor likely that I ever will be. :unsure:

So many places to see. So little money!

Tom (:macwave:... wanderlust!)

[Skywatcher]

The Canaries really have some stunning landscapes and each Island is very different.

:dozey: the waterfox pic was displayed thank you for remembering :rolleyes:

[uscwest]

Really sorry I never made it to Tenerife in all the time I lived in Europe. Great photos Chris.

[ukwdwnut]

[Tink]

Well, it's a beautiful place, isn't it?

Matthew. The child is a heartbreaker, Da. :sigh:

I love the shot of Lisa and Thomas, AND of Thomas mid air!!!
