Lanzarote

Low angle view of "Fertility" sculpture, Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain, pictured on November 27, 2010 in the afternoon against a cloudy sky. Isolated on the horizon, stands a monumental sculpture called "Fertility", dedicated to rural Lanzarote. It is made with water tanks from sailing boats and other objects painted and assembled together, forming a set of geometric forms with high visual impact. The sculpture "Fertility", 1968, was designed by local artist Cesar Manrique (1919-92), and his clothing was given by Jesus Soto, his long term working associate. Lanzarote, the Easternmost of the Canary Islands, lies 125km East of the African coast, in the Atlantic Ocean. Like the other islands in this autonomous Spanish archipelago, Lanzarote is originally Volcanic. Picture by Manuel Cohen.
