Rising from the dust; Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain. “From my adventure in Tenerife, this image is the one that best represents my experience, both the “good” and the “bad” side. As you can see in the photo, the landscape is shaped by incredible volcanic structures that rise toward the sky as huge towers that perfectly frame the mighty Milky Way. Then our home galaxy seems to rise from a thick blanket of dust that scatters all the light from the faraway towns, creating a warm glow over the horizon. This glow is caused by the “calima”, a warm wind that comes from Africa. Loaded with the sand of the desert, it has a big impact on night sky visibility, obscuring the beautiful Milky Way. In the end, all the good and bad things came together perfectly in this image, giving me the chance to show you this incredible panorama”.
