Fresh water runs deep

This is fresh water running along the Barranco de Las Angustias, the Ravine of Fear, on La Palma. The water is on its way out to sea at Tazacorte, just half a kilometre away.
La Palma is the only island in the Canaries that has running water. Quite a claim to fame, not to say that the island has a huge volume of rainwater, just that it has rather a large crater in the centre of the island, called the Caldera de Taburiente, which acts as a funnel.

The Caldera, which happily is tree covered and therefore quite beautiful, sits pretty much in the centre of the island and is the largest erosion crater in the world. Rather convincingly, it measures an un-missable 10km across (over 6 miles) by around 2000 metres deep (6,600 feet).
So it is not too surprising that when the rain collected in this great diameter reduces to just a few metres, it can be a force to be reckoned with.
But in April, usually it is dry. Oh well, let's hope that's just a blip on the weather front.
