A Disappointing Day

I realise it's not a great title for a footprint, but today didn't work out how I planned.

My aim was to look for astro locations along the north west part of the island. I would have loved to revisit the highest peaks but that would mean a very late affair and tomorrow morning I must pack and leave my penthouse villa. 😁 I therefore needed a good location about 45 minutes away maximum.

I checked out a couple of great places but didn't take photos as I thought I'd be back again later. But the cloud cover got worse and as time ticked by, it looked as though it would be a no-go for astrophotography this evening, so I drove back to the bananas. The last night too. 😥

The photos here are of Tazacorte town, rather than the port, where I enjoyed a pizza and a stroll around afterwards. It's a nice place, with narrow streets and, naturally, bananas galore. The first three photos are testament to that.

No star photos tonight then, but sometimes things can't always work out as you want them to. Nice pizza though, making three since I've been away. I'll become a Ninja Turtle soon. 🙄😂Read more
