Hola Vicma, lovely lonely tree in bad heart, great composition, very well done, ciao Silvio

It looks much like Mt St Helens, although the fumeroles are not as many here at what appears to be very close to a or the peak. I live only 125 miles from St Helens, though I was not here during 1981, but in California. A good lesson in geology lives within this picture.

Hola Victor, desconocía ese término ya que aquí no se usa ( y no hay volcanes jeje ). Lo plasmas bien ahí con colores naturales y limpios entre sol y sombras. El abeto o el árbol que sea ese está bien frondoso ... quizá sería cuestión de plantar alguno pero lo que parece que hacemos es quemarlos :-(
Buen formato de presentación.
Un abrazo : J. Ignasi

Hola Víctor,
Una majestuosa desolación la de ese lugar, parecería otro mundo si no fuera por ese árbol. 10 puntos

Hola vicma, a pesar de su nombre es un paisaje de gran belleza, los colores son estraordinarios y ofrece un espectáculo magnifico.Saludos Sira

Hello Vicma,
Really bad earth. The only living thing here is a lone tree. Nice landscape picture. Very well done.

Hola Victor,
Es díficil sacar tanto partido a un paisaje tan adverso como el que nos muestras, el punto de vista, la luz y el color son fantásticos, saludos

Hello Victor,
Nothing much growing there yet, so I understand the naming!
What is amazing is to see the tree, all alone in the middle of nothing...
A well composed image, good colours and details and an interesting theme!
Greetings,

Hi Vicma

This is indeed a very dramatic landscape. The colors here and the contrast between them are imrpessive and you did good to catch that in your photo.
The name given to the land is easy to understand...it also makes a great title here.
The composition is well managed and it's mostly wnhanced by the lonely tree surrounded only by volcanic rock and steam.
Nice work!

Bravo and TFS

Wonderful work. We can feel the emptiness of this place - the only tree can't make earth living and blooming

My dear old friend,
What a vastness of this volcanic and stony land!
quite amazing to find a green tree in the middle of this dry and hot land!
perfect pov with sharpness, true colour and so much details in it
very well composed and well seen
greeting always

Hi Juyona,
A beautiful capture of this volcanic mountain. Looks alive to me. Hope it doesn't burst out. :D . Thanks a lot for sharing.

Bonjour Vicma.
magnifique ce paysage, quelle lumière, quelles couleurs. Et l'arbre solitaire en plus, juste une petite touche colorée dans ce paysage. Et les fins nuages hésitant entre le ciel et la terre..un enchantement.
merci

Hi Vicma,
wonderful composition, i love the solitary tree, it gives a sense of relief to the barreness of this landscape. Great warm light and exposure all round.
very nice work, thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.

Hello Vica,
This must be Teide, the range of colours up there are fabulous. Very fine capture from a nice POV. Interesting to see the one tree struggling to survive in that hostile environment.
Many thanks and regards, Ulla

Hola Victor,
This brings back memories of our visits to Teneriffe!
You captured Teide in good light to bring out the colours and the composition is superb with the lonely pine tree - almost surrealistic!
Well done and TFS!

Hi Vicma.
What an interesting place and beautiful picture. Evening sunlight and long shadows, rich colours, amazing small clouds, alone tree (if I am not mistaken) and superb composition and presentation of the picture create a very nice esthetic impression. Bravo, as always, and TFS.
Alexei.

Fantástica lámina, con ese pino en solitario desafiando un rio de lava fría.
Buenos y bonitos colores y contrastes.
Hasta pronto, JL.

Hi Vicma,
That is some barren yet dramatic looking landscape. That lone tree really stands out against that desolate landscape. Nice shot.

Hola Victor. Una hermosa postal de esta "Tierra Mala" En mi opinion no lo es tamto, pues al menos ya florecio un pinito. Por lo que veo pareciera ser algun lugar volcanico. Aun cuando parece ser un lugar muy hostil, tiene lo propio, y es muy bello. Saludos mi buen amigo Victor, recibe un saludo y un abrazo. Luis52.

Hi, Vicma.
Beautiful landscape. Well composed with good colors and depth. Reminds me my days in Tenerife.

Hello Vicma

The tree looks so healthy and green and it stands alone in such a harsh looking environment.A beautiful composition with lovely pastel colours.Masterfully composed.TFS

Rob

One has to wonder how that lone trees survives in that landscape. It is a good sharp image... and interesting.

Hi Vicma,

A stunning landscape with fantastic colours and light. The composition is extremely good, with the lone fir tree planted in just the right spot;-)

Kind regards,

Mike

Hello Vicma,
Great capture. I like the lone pine in stark contrast to this volcanic stony red landscape. Nice details and the panoramic comp works very well.

how it manages to survive in that land
this is teidi? and the great crater basin which looks like the moon
some of the rocks are like glass?
good sharp shot at 1/500 showing the detail of the malpeis
cheers

Superb view, like the pano style, very nice frameworks as well
Brilliant!

Hola Victor
Si el paisaje en sí es asombroso, más asombroso aún resulta con ese abeto tan verde, tan frondoso y tan solitario. Como un colono conquistando tierra nueva. De tener sentimientos ¿cómo podrá sentirse un árbol tan solitario en un terreno tan baldío? Yo creo que pensaría "!Lo he logrado! !Reclamo esta tierra para mis descendientes!" Una imagen preciosa con una sensacional combinación de luces y sombras que ensalzan la desolación de este malpaís con esperanza de convertirse en una zona verde y llena de vida.
Realmente preciosa.
Saludos
Maite

If I was this tree, I would feel very lonely Vicma! :) This an interesting landscape with very good exposure, composition, colors and details. We don't have such scenery in my country so this is interesting for me to see :) Thanks,
Claudine

Bonjour,
Voilà un arbre qui doit s'ennuyer tout seul.
Bonne journée.

Hola Vicma,

What kind of altitude is this. I think above the treeline ? What is amazing is to see the tree, all alone in the middle of knowhere
A well composed image. Very good colours and enough details. Greetings and TFS BOB
