Bill,
Thanks for sharing your memories, experiences and your appreciation for the
clouds, atmospheric phenomena and so many other things
that dazzle me.
Canaries would surprise you, no doubt.
Every island is unique: some have an Atlantic climate, sweet and wet, which
allows some precious and rare laurel woods (La Gomera,
La Palma), others really dry, with some volcanic presence (Lanzarote and it
little satellite, La Graciosa, where no motor vehicle is
allowed) and some other, rough and isolated (as El Hierro)
Tenerife and Gran Canaria are required stopovers to access to the smaller
islands, more interesting, according to my taste J
Thanks again for your kind comments. It's a pleasure to share pictures I
enjoyed taking.
My best wishes, to you and your relatives,
Marc

Marc,
Ah, a "fine place" indeed, and in a portion of the Atlantic to which I have
never been, though I once transited the Azores, much
farther northwest, in a ship, and have some appreciation of what the Canaries
must be like, appearing on the horizon as specks to
the lookouts and coming slowly into view.
Arriving by airplane? A completely different experience!
Some day I may stop off at the Canaries on my way to somewhere just to see what
it is like.
I thank you very much for the views of the atmospherics you find there and
those you have shared from elsewhere.
I was born and raised on the west coast of Florida with all the daily tropical
weather changes occasioned by the sea breezes and
land breezes that came and went as the sun rose and set and the land warmed and
cooled, like clockwork. For that reason I suppose
that I am sensitive to clouds.
Thunderstorms moved across our home almost every day in the late afternoon,
bringing welcome down drafts of cold air and lightning
and thunder, which caused our dog Charlie to howl and sent our two cats into
hiding under beds.
Lightning was ever present as it coursed in and out of and inside our home, a
fact which some people simply do not believe can
happen, but it does.
Thank you for sharing your insular adventures with sea, sand and sun (and the
occasional palm) with us continental terrestrials. You
have a blissful eye.
I send my best wishes for a Happy New Year to you and yours,
Bill
