From The Archive : 1985 : Mount Teide , Tenerife

I've got a slow burner project copying slides and negatives from my archive.

The slides seem to copy better and this is Mount Teide, Tenerife , Spain back in March 1985. We went for some winter sun !

Awesome capture! I can understand the slow burner of a project. How are you going about it though?

[Beryl Lloyd]

The people are so small in comparison, Phil ! What a view !!

Fabulous shot of this amazing view. I'm intrigued by how you're photographing the negatives & slides, from a light pad? How does that work? Sorry for my ignorance..haha

Oh, how super! I went there once ... probably 1982. The only time I've ever been really ill on holiday. Spent the first week in bed and the second week recovering. The problem was with the water in the hotel. Everyone was ill! I did make it on a coach trip to Mount Teide, but I don't remember much about it. This is a great photo - just looks so 'vintage'!

Nice to rediscover old memories. Gosh, 1985? I was just graduating from uni...

[Dione Giorgio]

Did you go up to the top of the mountain? Looks a fabulous place to go trekking.

Isn’t it great going back to the 80’s… the old photos are fascinating.
The colours the fashion and how few people are in them…

This is a great photo!

@jamibann thanks issi , that sounds bad , the "whole hotel" being ill , nowadays with social media it would have made big headlines . The colours are pretty accurate , it was a Kodak Kodachrome slide film , which was the "film of choice" for most people at the time, but I think it lost it' "popularity" to fujifilm and "own brand" film of "developing companies"

@casablanca March 1985 , we hadn't completed out first year of marriage !!!

[Pat Knowles]

That looks hot! Did you climb to the top? Too much for me! Quite an amazing Rick to the left!

[Phil Howcroft]

@happypat Pat this was on a coach trip , the bus took you up some of the volcano and then cable cars took you to the top !
