Canary Islands' natural, man-made worlds
Tourists from all over the world have discovered the Canary Islands, but the residents wonder how foreign money and construction are impacting the islands' ecology.
The tension between tourism and the environment is a common theme in the work of seven contemporary Canary Islands photographers in "A Ojo de Canario," an exhibit on view through Nov. 30 at the San Antonio International Center (San Antonio, Texas). San Antonio's earliest Old World settlers came from the Canary Islands in 1731. All of the photographers live on Tenerife.
