Freedom

My Christmas present to my two sons was a boys week away to Gran Canaria. The sun shone for us today, not a cloud appearing in the sky all day. I feel guilty in declaring how warm and wonderful it felt. We walked from Ayacata, via Roque Nubloto, to La Culata (where we stopped for lunch and a beer), before returning by a different path.

At the top, Roam unveiled his new toy, a drone, and flew it between the two pillars of the famous Roque Nublo. It was a little nerve-wracking to witness his flying skills, especially when he announced it was only his fourth ever flight. Despite losing visual contact for a while, he flew it back safely. Respect mate.

I love this volcanic landscape. Only black and white can capture the drama.
