This is my third photo from the island of Tenerife, Spain, which was included in a street exhibition organized by the results of the Tenerife: Natural Treasure of Spain Photo competition, which was recently hosted by National Geographic Russia and the Tenerife Tourist Office.
Here you can see Acantilados de Los Gigantes (Cliffs of the Giants), view from Los Guios beach. These huge basalt cliffs reach a height of 500 m and look grandiose, especially when lit by the setting sun. They are part of the Teno mountain range and are considered the western slope of the Teide volcano.
I like the way the photos look framed. This is how the organizers of the competition for the exhibition designed them and sent me the files:
On one of the first days of the exhibition, I went to the center of Moscow to see it. After all, I saw my works, printed in large format, only a couple of times. And they are really big, it looks pretty impressive :)
For some time I stood nearby and looked at the people passing along the boulevard. I was very pleased when some of them stopped in front of my photographs and looked at them more closely. The volcano attracted the most attention, and this is not surprising — after all, aerial photography is still quite young, and such unusual objects attract attention.

This is how a full row of stands looks like, my photos are closer to the center. | And this is I'm happy next to my photographs :) |
On the back of the stands there are 16 other photos, but there are fewer people walking there, since the path is narrower.
After a while, this exhibition will leave the capital for another large city in Russia — St. Petersburg. I wonder where it will stand there? Maybe this summer I'll go there for a few days and have a look. Not so much for the sake of narcissism, but at the same time, in order to walk around the city. It is very beautiful, although there is often inclement weather.
It's better to watch the photo in high resolution.
