I was in Lanzarote last week, a place where a the sun never seem to stop shinning. I was there for some last minute sun before I submit fully to our long winter months!

Whilst there I visited the house of Lanzarote's most famous artist, Cesar Manrique, he used colour and shape to their best advantage in the dark and moon-like landscape of the island. He was a great pioneer in keeping the island from becoming a high-rise tourist center, he reasoned with the government to preserve the island's natural beauty, believe that it was a major draw in itself, he was of course right.

Photos taken at his home, Casa del Campesino, which is built in the natural bubbles created in the lava flow. Definitely worth a visit if you find yourself on the island.
