Maybe I'll Google it and see if I can find something.<br /><br />Yes it intrigued me as to the huge amount of effort that those Canary Islnad people did in terracing everywhere , even if they were not proposing to plant anything there. Slowing down water flow and allowing perculation was the only thing that came to mind, but then in habitat restoration that's exactly all I think about anyway. <br /><br />Hmmmmmmmmm, maybe ancient aliens told them to do this for some un-known scientific reasons only the aliens knew? I can't believe alot of the supposed scientific programming subject matter shown over here that is passed of as real science like the multi-part series dealing with ancient aliens from the past influencing mankind and still wanting to help us now. *sigh*Chaparral Earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618976919417073750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206460070533660576.post-23067873353916333342012-05-21T23:27:26.040-07:002012-05-21T23:27:26.040-07:00Yeah, this is one of the few places on the planet ...Yeah, this is one of the few places on the planet where I ever felt like it could be home. Scandinavia has never really felt like home to me, other than I like all of my friends there. Maybe I should take some snapshots of the Soviet Styled housing Projects here along with un-eventful un-imaginative, lack of artistic creativity landscping demonstrated here and give you an idea of what I'm talking about.Chaparral Earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618976919417073750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206460070533660576.post-53487698965413810532012-05-21T15:07:25.397-07:002012-05-21T15:07:25.397-07:00Interesting tour of a place I might never visit.

I could live with the architecture and land in Tenerife, but could only visit what you describe from Scandanavia!Desert Dwellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00952727692048782529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206460070533660576.post-42232602377424751232012-05-20T09:48:26.135-07:002012-05-20T09:48:26.135-07:00Hello there!

We rationed our water every week very carefully. Who knew when the water would be turned on to fill up our tanks!!! But a lot of Arizona trees have been used on these arid islands and they were planted after the locals had devastated much of their own vegetation....and then lose precious soil to the ocean from runoff! Ugh. But I did like that they used terraces to keep as much of that rain water as possible. I've always wanted to go to the Canary Islands. It's nice to see the pictures and read your personal account. It's a tad greener than CV but not by much:)Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.com
