Choose the Canarian News Image of 2006
Canary Islands newspaper, Canarias 7 is asking their readers to choose the most representative news image of 2006 from among 81 of their news images. Their news slant, obviously, shows a very different selection than our own more touristic photographic offerings, so I thought you might like to flip through them.
The first image in the gallery shows a delightfully informal snap of King Juan Carlos taking a rest on a stone wall during the King and Queen's recent royal visit to all seven Canary Islands. Other themes cover the disappearance of Sara Morales, a young girl in Gran Canaria; the promotion of Gran Canaria football teams, Las Palmas and Vecindario (it will be a LONG time before we see similar images in Tenerife! :-); rain and flood damage; the fire at the Bishop's Palace, Casa de Salazar, in La Laguna, Tenerife, amongst other important news items of the year.
For those who don't speak Spanish: the numbers above the photos will be pretty self explanatory. Foto anterior means previous photo and Siguiente foto means next. Just click on those words to provoke the corresponding action. View photos here.
