View from Montaña de Sámara down the NW slopes of Tenerife, with sparse stands of Pinus canariensis growing on lava and tephra deposits as well as on a number of cinder cones, such as Montaña Cascajo in the centre of the scene. The deeply eroded Teno mountains, one of the oldest parts of the island, can be seen behind, in front of La Palma.
