Chiamada

Chiamada

Chiamada – the old cave village on top of the Anaga Mountain. With a nice view over the north part of Tenerife island and the snowy peak of the Pico del Teide. Its a quick wheather changing areafrom sunny to fog in two minutes. Because the Atlantic clouds move there over the island. Some of the village pictures looks like landscapes for a model railroad.

Trichoglossus Haematodus

Trichoglossus Haematodus

The rainbow Lorikeet ( Trichoglossus Haematodus ) or as we say in germany Allfarblori is a very colorfull and friendly little bird I met this birds on my last trip to the Canary island Tenerife at the Katandra Treetop. A big birds free fly compound in one of europas best zoos, the Loro Parque. And I only do this kind of pictures when I am on vacation 🙂 The birds there are very handsome For most of the pictures I used my old Sigma 105 macro lens. In the manual mode, because the autofocus is not very quick. Or should I say it is very slow 🙂
