flight & finalities



It’s the evening of the last island days. I am packing things. Tomorrow will be the flight back home – and as always, a part of me wants to stay, and another part is looking forward to being at home.

The picture above is from the day of arrival: Lanzarote from above. The white spots are settlements. the hills that look like vulcanoes are indeed vulcanoes. One day, they will wake again. Like in El Hierro, another one of the Canary Islands. One of the off-shore vulcanoes there is active this year. Scientists say there even is the chance for a new island to be born.

On a note of smaller wings, there's a new entry up in the YB blog which opens with a butterfly-photo i took at home.
Now, off to finish packing, and reading the final chapter of the German roundtrip-border-journey book - which now moves towards Lake Constance, in November, with snow falling.
