Wonderful natural theater over the sea

EL GOLFO in the south of Lanzarote island

Infos from http://www.lanzarote.com

El Golfo is a natural amphitheatre open to the sea which was formed from the volcanic eruptions of 1730. The lagoon, which fills the base of this semicircular crater, is a result of flooding, and its green colour is from the algae that inhabit its waters.

The volcano made of porous lava ash has through the action of time given rise to spectacular formations.

The sea connected underground, passes through the crater forming a beautiful black beach, which contrasts with the green lagoon.
This lake has been declared a natural reserve which prohibits bathing.

It is located in the south of the island in the Municipality of Yaiza.

The village of El Golfo can be found a few metres away.

Interesting contrast created by the red earth against the volcanic backdrop. Fine capture from a good pov. I would consider cropping the sky altogether. Regards,
Hakan

Hello Giorgio,

Splendid relief in the mountain with his dark colour in background, the foreground with the brown colour gives a nice composition together with the with foam of the waves on the beach.
Very well done.

Best regards,
John.

Ciao Giorgio,
Un bellissimo punto di vista e un posto stupendo... I colori sono ottimi( a parte il cielo un po bianco, ma non disturba oltre tanto) suppongo cue hai visto che non e molto orizzontale, allora ho fatto un piccolo workshop, spero che ti piaccia..
Laurent

Hello Giorgio,
An amazing colour combination, showing some remains from the volcanic past!
Interesting point of view and an attractive composition with good lines...
Greetings,

Ciao Giorgio,
Very scenery, and colors. The skyline is tilted to the left, I do not know if you did it on purpose. Nice details too.
Best regards. Ciao. Salvator.

Best regards
Juan Tort

Soo Beautiful... great POV.

Great job

Giorgio,
Very interesting seascape. The red against black here creates nice contrast. The lighting and colors are good however the sky is a bit overexposed, you might want to crop out more of it! I like your composition using the shoreline to lead the eye through the photo.
TFS,
Asa

Hi Giorgio!
A magnifficent presentation of a "wild" place, unspoiled by tourist visitors. Wonderful pov and colors!
Anton

Hi Giorgio. Nice photo. Very surreal colours give this a “other worldly” look. Well composed and presented. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Ciao Giorgio, affascinante composizione di colori in questa splendida baia, bella foto, bravo, ciao Silvio

Hi Giorgio..

excellent view..

super colors
best regards

giorgio
beautiful beach it is ironic there are no trees around ; probably because of the volcano incident. I understand why the photo is tilted because you wanted to attach the red soil to the photo as well

Giorgio, cette photo a beaucoup de qualités pour la composition, les couleurs et la lumière. Je me suis permis un WS pour donner encore plus de charme à ce cliché.
Jacques

Hi Giorgio. Very good area for photographs. It could be improved by adjusting the horizon to be level. The sky is a little overexposed and maybe a UV filter would reduce this. TFS. Murray.

Ciao Giorgio ,
bellissime roccie vulcaniche con dei colori impressionanti ,
peccato che non l'hai scattata con l FUJI,
la panasonic e' andata in palla con l'orizzonte e il cielo .
