Tourism's a mixed blessing, of course, but at least it has been managed better in Lanzarote than some of the other Canary islands.Steerforthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07627936539372313828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335697599281687572.post-76300996707101548802012-03-07T01:18:54.811-08:002012-03-07T01:18:54.811-08:00I must admit, I too am considered a crumbling ruin...I must admit, I too am considered a crumbling ruin by some people...and I am surely past my prime...Trellissimohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02283663872471564907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335697599281687572.post-16727899539524756342012-03-07T01:13:59.876-08:002012-03-07T01:13:59.876-08:00There's is something about decaying buildings ...There's is something about decaying buildings that just makes me want to photograph them.

Again I have to mention how lucky you are for such a lovely Island as Lanzarote to live! It's so beautiful, especially the stone buildings that are crumbling, and they are so worth keeping so you can roam about the ruins and wonder just what happened there. It's a great law that they can't demolish them ever! I wonder does someone actually live in Punto Mujeres was it? Maybe he doesn't want to impress people on the outside but they live very well on the inside! Thanks for another stroll around Lanzarote!21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335697599281687572.post-31080460065833187832012-03-06T14:05:48.553-08:002012-03-06T14:05:48.553-08:00I find the picture of the Green Doors captivating ...I find the picture of the Green Doors captivating and beautiful.

A landscape should bear the marks of the past, and those marks should not be exclusive to the existence of the great and the good. People who worked the land, shaped the land, and their efforts deserve appreciation.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494219959077922220noreply@blogger.com
