Back in 2013, during a wonderful tour of the captivating island of Lanzarote, I had the pleasure of visiting Vinos el Campesino. This trip coincided with the very beginning of my journey into photography as a hobby, and the unique landscape of this vineyard certainly provided ample inspiration.
The first thing that strikes you about the Vinos el Campesino vineyard is its ingenious approach to viticulture. The vines aren't planted in traditional rows; instead, they are grown in shallow pits dug into the volcanic ash that covers the surrounding plains. To protect these precious plants from Lanzarote's constant breeze, each vine is carefully sheltered by a low, horseshoe-shaped stone wall. This creates a fascinating, almost regimented pattern across the landscape, as seen in the image below.
They were taken on Tuesday 30th July 2013 using a Samsung Galaxy Tablet. Clicking any of the images below should open a link in another window to my Colin Green Photography store on Zazzle.
