The first swan has just noticed that their path is about to end - the narrow channel through the ice has been growing narrower until, in about two yards, it comes to a dead end. There's nothing else to do but turn around!

Seen from Malpaso, the highest point of El Hierro (1502m), the sun is projecting a series of strange rainbows onto the sea of clouds beneath us. An odd phenomenon I've never seen before.
The dark shadows in the lower part of the photo come from the mountain top itself.

The rough ocean smashes against the concrete and flies up into the air. A perfect place to sit down and rest for a while if you're not afraid to get wet every now and then ;-)

The beautiful landscape of the El Golfo bay on El Hierro, seen from a high vantage point.
In the lower right-hand corner, you can spot the world's smallest hotel on a protruding cliff (4 rooms). Cloud-filtered sunrays give the land an ethereal quality.

Long lines of sturdy wooden poles running into the sea, to try and break its strength.
