Natural History Photographs


After entering the laurel forest via the TF-12, a well-known stop is at the mirador Cruz del Carmen. From here, variously easily accessible trails lead into the laurel forest. We already explored these partly in 2015 (see Tenerife 2015),but then time was limited and I wanted to explore these trails again, to see whether I had overseen any lichens or plants. It's always strange to return after a full year to the same location - it feels like you were there yesterday... I could even relocate some individual lichens that were new to me last year! Probably because of this experience, I didn't pay attention to taking photos of the landscape.
