Sky Watch Friday 25

As you will see we were on holiday last week chasing the sun in Tenerife.

1) Bourganvilea. England's sad winter had left us deprived of colour and this wonderful show was lovely.

2,10) Teide, the volcano on the island. A official permit is needed to travel to the very top, saying you are fit and
without health problems.There is a cable car which ascends to the flattish area just below the cone.
3, 4, 11, 12) The Original Crater Walls, the clouds banked and then fell over the crater walls, it was lovely to watch.

5)An un erupted volcano core, solid magma.There is a lot of Obsidian,a semi precious stone which is used
for making jewelery.

6) Man sleeping with mouth open. Can you see him? Its a talking point on the island.

7) Still Seas at evening time.

8) Gomera, under cloud cover, although visible on clear days.

9) This villa, is reported to have been given to Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, who had been
making a film on the island. It was given as a gift by the Tenerife Government.
I understand that it has been returned to the Government and is a heritage place now.

On the smooth rocks below the villa, Ti Che classes are held daily. Half the class wear black outfits
and the other wear red.
It is mesmerising to watch groups of people moving in quiet peaceful unison.

13) The Finger of God. It is a weathered rock which has poetical licence in naming.


14) Red Rock a land mark, the airport runs between it and the foreground.

15) Bear rock, change the spelling and it it is both. Weather erosion again.
