- across fields of ash

- Volcanic landscape
- light on ash flows
This basaltic landscape in Lanzarote resulted from very recent volcanic activity, geologically speaking. The rock is twisted into harsh, sharp features and is barely colonised by lichen. I drew in ink using one such piece of rock on one of these sketches. Yet the fields of ash bear crops in circular depressions dug to trap condensing moisture. In the background sit the calderas and the rocks are stained in unexpected colours.
