The story behind this image

Ever since my wife Liz and I first visited Tenerife in the Canary Islands many years ago, a ride to the summit of Mount Teide on the Teleferico del Teide cablecar has been on our list of things we really wanted to do.

And during a week long winter sun break in Janaury 2020 we finally braved the crazy car parking arrangements and joined the queue for the ride up the summit of Mount Teide.

While we were waiting at the lower cablecar station I took the opportunity to grab some photos of the cablecar coming down the volcano towards us.

I must admit it made an impressive sight, dropping down steeply on its very slender looking cable!
