New Photo: The Alien Tree
Looks weird, right? This plant only grows around the Teide volcano in Tenerife. It’s about 1.5 m in height – but sadly, it was not in bloom when I was there.

Tenerife has loads of burned forest areas! I had no idea – and if this wouldn’t be impressive and somewhat weird enough, it also has proper cloud forests. Combine them and you get this!

You will find tons of cacti in Tenerife – some less inviting than others. This one is simply … less inviting.

This is Upe Rathene – a Buddhist monk from Sri Lanka. The smile he is wearing here has become a symbol of Sri Lanka for me.
