Picture 01

This one was shot in Playa Del Ingles. In The background you can see the Atlantic ocean and parts of the dunes.

Picture 02

This is sort of the same picture, only into the opposite direction. Far in the background is the capital Las Palmas. If you take a closer look you can see the industrial area with its chimneys.

Picture 03

Here you can see the nature reserve in Maspalomas. It is directly at the beach. In the background you can see the mountains which makes this picture really special - unfortunately it was pretty cloudy that day.

Picture 04

This is the lighthouse in Faro/Maspalomas.

Picture 05

A pelican. I shot this one in the "Palmitos Park" which is a kind of zoo for birds and a few other animals, but it has also loads of plants. It is in the mountains near Maspalomas and you have to drive a very bumpy street to get there.

Picture 06

These are the mountains in the "Palmitos Park." Pretty green because of the season. In the summer time everything is completely dried up.

Picture 07

I shot this picture from the shopping centre "Faro II", which is in Maspalomas (in the middle of nowhere). We went there by cab and walked all the way back - the walk took us like one hour.

Picture 08

Same picture, only into another direction.

Picture 09

This one was taken while we were walking back to our bungalow from the shopping centre "Faro II". It shows the place ("Duna Flor") where we went in the evening sometimes in order to watch the show programme, which was in fact really good. We didn`t have something like that because our bungalow was more in the centre. Thatīs why we went there sometimes.

Picture 10

This one shows the port of Puerto De Mogan, which is the most beautiful place on Gran Canaria (or maybe even in the world). All the buildings are coloured the same way. Everything is pretty traditional. Although it is very popular with tourists itīs pretty quiet there.

Picture 11

Another picture from the port. The boats there are just so beautiful.

Picture 12

Another picture from the beach of Playa Del Ingles. At this place you can see skydivers very often.

Picture 13

The crocodiles in the "Parque De Cocodrilo." A little scary because the only thing that parts us is this little fence.

Picture 14

... and another one.

Picture 15

This one`s cute, isn`t it?

Picture 16

Another one from the crocodile park....

Picture 17

And this final one shows my room in our bungalow in Playa Del Ingles.
