Photographs of the Environment in Lanzarote and La Graciosa

Please enjoy browsing the hundreds of selected environment photographs, images of Lanzarote and la Graciosa, separate adjacent Canary Islands. We trust that you will discover the many beautiful and fascinating places on these islands, often examples of scenery and geology that are rare seen elsewhere, yet all within a relatively compact and accessible area.

The Beaches of Lanzarote usually exclude the tourist areas, although those beaches are very fine and well maintained.

Cactus is found all over the island. Many species were imported, particularly after the volcanic eruptions of 1730-36

The Coastline is varied, often with views of islands

You may not see flowers here all the year round but we are blessed with colourful inundations after the rare Sarahan zone rainfall. However the cacti are frequently in bloom.

The Landscape varies across the island and there are local micro climates.

With so many volcanoes there is no shortage of lava in pristine condition, in many colours, often holding crystal, and that is apart from other rocks and stones

The skies here are a joy. Although nearly always blue, the ambient winds give us great variation and the clear air affords great vista visibility.

We get some fun water splashes, and some other water, although trees are not so numerous!

Big beautiful Waves are a speciality here, as any surfer will tell you.

There are species of wildlife here that you see nowhere else. They are all a joy to behold.
