Black sands of Bollulo Beach_DSC1571_2000px.jpg


Beautiful morning on Playa el Bollulo, Tenerife, Canary Islands. This beach with pitch black volcanic sand is one of the most beautiful on the island. I was mesmerized with the contrast of sand and the water rolling back and creating the white foamy lines. I have spent some time just looking at this natural beauty and noticed the amazing subtle reflection in the middle ground. All I needed is a subject and it was easy to find because there are several rock formations on the beach. I took several shots to find the right balance in all this permanent changing and combined several images (foreground with the leading lines, middle ground with reflection and subject with rock and crashing waves).

Oh man I love Bollullo! I used to live in Puerto de la Cruz and Bollullo was my favorite beach. Very remote and little known though, I thought it was something like my secret private beach haha, there were usually very few people. It´s been a few years though, things might have changed. Anyway, great shot! :)

Very cool shot this is!
