Caesar Manrique's House in the Lava bubbles Lanzarote

Manrique had a number of homes on Lanzarote. This is the best known. Ruth is pictured here outside this "house" in the centre of the island, with one of his sculptures behind her.
 

Me at the same place.


It's really difficult to photograph three-dimensioned images with a 2D camera but these are our attempts.  This is a shot taken at ground level looking down into the house.


And this is looking across the top of the house at the countryside. As you can see, volcanic ash is not very fertile.


This is taken from inside the house, looking up to ground level. Because it doesn't rain very much in Lanzarote a watertight roof is not necessary, but protection from the wind is.


Again, a shot looking upwards.


In one of the seating areas.


The indoor garden.
