Just got back from Tenerife. I spent a few days with these amazing lizards, geckos and skinks, with many endemic birds, blooms and arthropods. It was very nice.

I really like this Nicola. Well composed using the distant peaks to frame the background, interesting foreground elements, just very appealing. What focal length- looks ultra-wide?

Thank you Cindy.
The highest peak is Mount Teide, a volcano higher than 3700 meters. I used a sigma 15mm fisheye + kenko 1.4x on FF

Tenerife. On the left you can see Mount Teide.
You can find another subspecies (G. g. Palmae) on La Palma and it's smaller than this one
