EL TEIDE MAGNETISM 2

El Teide seen from La Palma…
Earth seen from the Moon…
Jupiter seen from Ganymede…
Sun seen from Mercury…
Or the star Alpha of Centaurus
seen from the closest exoplanet,
Alpha Centauri Bb…

El Teide, Tenerife, Canary Islands.
The highest elevation in the Atlantic Ocean.

In 2010, 2012 and 2013 I saw it from the distance.
But only in 2013 I could go closer to it.

Grandiose
and dominating the entire landscape,
which seems like
from another planet…

El Teide, Tenerife, Canary Islands.
The highest elevation in the Atlantic Ocean.

Older than the human world,
and inhabited by Magec, who is right
the local god of that
heavenly blessing called light.

And maybe even he secretly inspired
the international community
to make the Teide Observatory here,
another temple of astronomy.

-Andrei Dorian Gheorghe-

Everything in the Canary Islands
inspired love and joy.
More,
even Comet R1 Lovejoy passed in the sky
next to M Forty-Four.
